Krishna: Actually, I do not like any type of games and sports.
They are totally disgusting and wasting of time.
Amrit: Very sad; you are a good student but you do not know
about the importance of games and sports.
Krishna: Are they important for us!
Amrit: Surely, they help us to be active and fresh. They
remove all of the disease from our health. They are
also a form of good exercise.
Krishna: Really, I have made a great mistake. As a result I
always remain sick and also weak.
