Fishing is the Art of Patience

Recreation and Hobbies
My college days were full of activities like playing football and basket ball,bunking classes to go for movies etc. I had a friend who used to disappear whenever we were free. I came to know that he was fond of angling and he used to spend hours fishing, with our carp fishing tackle and rods. One day I too accompanied him. We went to a secluded part of the backwater and he taught me how to attach bait to the hook. He told me to keep absolutely quiet. I cast the line into the water and waited. After some time I felt a pull and I pulled my line. It was empty. My friend told me to be patient and wait till the hook got sunk into the fish. I waited and waited and after what seemed hours there was a healthy pull on my line. I gave enough slack to the line. It became taut and I asked my friend what to do. He tested the tautness and told me to haul in the line. What a wonderful sight. There it was. A silver colored fish dangling on the hook. I was exhilarated and that was the beginning of a great hobby.
