TO BE or NOT TO BE at the Hong Kong Sevens 2013

March 23, 2013 By: Mehroocomment

7 reasons TO BE:

1. Nice opportunity to combine fame and game if your child, like mine is participating in mini rugby.

2. If you have that fancy dress and wig gathering dust in your wardrobe then this is the place to flaunt it. Who knows you might also make headlines the next day?

3. It is the most happening place in HK this weekend. You can relate stories to your colleagues or to your family back home for days to come. Besides if you are in HK and NOT at the sevens, then you will have a serious image problem.

4. A great family outing. The party atmosphere ensures that even the little ones are occupied. Just get them to make paper planes and set them off at the crowd. You might want them to target practice at home first!

5. If you are feelings lonesome on your own-some this is the best place to make friends with a complete stranger. Who knows you might even find your soul mate here?

6. Do you want to propose to your loved one in a different way but without breaking the bank? Display a “Marry me Jane!” message on the giant display screen for a small charge, what’s more that money goes for charity!

7. Last but not the least, to watch fantastic rugby, the fast moves, the deadly tackles, the deafening cheers kept even a non-rugby person like me, quite entertained!



7 reasons NOT TO BE: 

1. @ HKD 1500 per ticket plus food and beverage spend, staying at home and watching the game live on T.V. might be a better, cheaper option.

2. The crowd can get too loud and too raucous at times, verbal volleys for seats and general behaviour are quite common. If you are sensitive at heart, stay at home!

3. If you suffer from agoraphobia (fear of having a sudden panic attack that people might witness and getting away rapidly may be difficult. The sufferer avoids crowded places) then this is certainly NOT the place to be.

4. The crowd, specially the male species can get quite heavily drunk and nasty. Ladies, you might want to stay away, or make an early move out!

5. Although the HK police are very efficient in controlling the traffic, it is not easy to manage a crowd close to 40,000! Be ready for massive traffic jams in and around the venue.

6. Ready to be photographed anytime, anywhere? If not then stay away! Fans go crazy not only taking photographs of the games but also of the stands and before you know it you would be on facebook, viewed and shared by millions of people!

7. I tried my best but just couldn’t get any other point to crib about!

Proud to be a part of HK Sevens, proud to be a Hong Kong-er

    Hi Vishal, yes you must do so. It is hard to imagine all the 'masti' and the madness through photographs and articles. One must see it to feel it!

Coaching? What? Why? When? I am often asked these Coaching? What? Why? When? 
I am often asked these questions by well-meaning family and friends as they learn about this new phase in my life. It prompted me to rewind time and write about this journey.

👉Coaching: Let’s start at the very beginning.... 

🖋Capturing the moments and memories of this beautiful new phase in my life.

End-January 2020: With corona virus spreading across Hong Kong and number of cases rising, schools were asked to shut down. We were in Mumbai over Chinese New Year and what had been a short 5-day trip to the city for a family wedding turned out to be a month-long extension as we postponed our flights intending to “stay safe” in Mumbai.

February 2020: While I was I happy that we were relatively safe and I could enjoy a longer holiday, the working bug in me started biting within a week. Business was slow through the previous months of protests in Hong Kong and had now come to a grinding halt. My mind started racing. What next, what can I do to keep my business going? In retrospect the actual question to ask was “What can I do to keep myself going?”

March 2020: After some trials and errors on new ideas for my current business, I realized that this was not the solution I was looking for. After starting my career in corporate sales and marketing, followed a fulfilling role as a stay-at-home mom to my boys and the last few years of being a “mom-preneur” running an exciting clothing and events business, I felt that I needed something different – something that I love and something that is sustainable over a period of time. I started researching on the internet, looking for an answer. My searches were quite random and pretty general. ‘Flexible job from home, rewarding job for women, inspiring jobs, etc.’ I am not sure how or when but along with the other answers that came up, what struck my attention and curiosity was the word ‘Coaching.’
