One board, a striker, One red coin, and 18 coins. This is what a carom board game is made up of. Its one of the kind of entertainment game, which makes people to get themselves involved in it, forgetting whatever happening around them.
In the start of the game, we can find in center of the board, all coins are arranged in such a manner that it looks like, in center of an house friends and family spending their time happily without any disturbance. But its short lived in both aspects.
The striker hits the coins and the game begins, the coins gets separated. We cant blame the striker for this act, after all it does its work assigned to it. In carom,we have only one striker, but in life we have many strikers(random e.g higher studies, job, marriage) to separate us from our friends and families,but for a fruitful purpose.
As the game proceeds, many coins gets hit by the striker and the end result is, they get pocketed. The main aspect of the game, is hitting the red coin to the pocket and which has to be followed by another coin to the pocket. In life, we need to set a goal and has to follow it till the time we pocket it.
When the all the coins are pocketed, the game gets completed and a fresh game is started. The coins get united again in center of the board for a fresh start with improved energy and the striker is ready to hit them again.
The house of many people are waiting for this re-union,in order to spend time happily with their friends and families. Probably,a carom board game at that time will be a perfect match, before another striker hit them again for another fruitful purpose, so that they have fresh start with improved energy in them.
