"Wii and We"

I am Princess Nautanki and my husband is Enzo and we have made friends with Ryan, Mario, Hiroshi and the list goes on....Well, if you have not already guessed it these are friends from the Nintendo's "Wii" and together "We" play tennis, baseball and even punch each other in the game of boxing.


Ah! but we have no hard feelings even if we punch each other hard or loose while pitching or smashing a hit. We know its all in the good spirit. Well, you see I have not played too much of these sports in my growing up years and all these new friends are here to teach me. And guess what I have started liking all these sports not only on screen but in real life too.

Though I have hated WWF all my life boxing on Wii is now my favorite. I always manage to hit those extra punches that make my opponents tumble down and give a good exercise to my biceps. These new found friends are also special because they helped me to connect with my seven-year-old nephew who is growing up in a country completely different from the one I grew up in.

And when you are two generations apart with two different cultural perspectives, communication can get difficult. But with "Wii" "We" too have something common to share and talk about.

  2. I have never been quite a games person myself.I mean playing them on a TV or PC screen has always been a big NO NO for me.My brother was always soo crazy about video games & playstations,i guess every guy out there is.This Wii sounds like fun after reading ur blog & after a big explanation on "what a Wii is" from Sumit.His explanation was almost like if you want to compare a female explaning " how to make rajma(any dish)". Seriously guyssss....well good for them. Anyways looking forward to do some dishum dishum with you soon (obviously on Wii).

  3. Well, I guess it will be fun...but beleive me much unlike other video games...this one keeps you on toes and its relatively easy to use..so I guess even non-video games buffs like us can have some fun...:)

  4. Video games strike everyone, at least once. From kids to teenagers to adults to the ones in Middle ages... There's a thing about them that can keep you glued for hours -- though the kind of game may vary from person to person.. Wii seems to cater to almost all interests. What's its scope in India?

  5. I guess Wii is getting popular in India too. We have Wii Sports and it has tennis, baseball, boxing etc. And these games are quiet simple to play. I am not sure what stores in Delhi have it but you can check on ebay if you thinkin of getting one.
