Ladies and Gentlemen
Whoever invented this game must have been a simpleton with a complex mind-set!.
It is all about 2 colors, 3 gunas and 4 suits.
Black & Red in pointed or rounded suits by a vast humanity classified into 3 Gunas - Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.
What are these Gunas, you may wonder. Has the blogger gone philosophic or has he gone off the rocker?
Neither. If you sit alone in a corner of the any bridge venue and observe, it will dawn!
People in general and Bridge players in particular fall into three categories or classes
- Sattvic
They are complete with goodness, calmness and harmonious. They sit like a rock of Gibraltar or a Tibetan Monk, unaffected by win or lose. - Rajasic
These players are full of passion, activity and movement. They always like to sit East- West in pairs with a lot of movement - Tamasic
They are the un-envied lot. Blessed with ignorance, inertia and laziness. They have a penchant for North - South direction with the least movements.
Whichever house of Gunas you belong, it is better to be smart than brilliant on the table!
Bridge is also Magical🎩🔮... You need to wave a magic wand at times and pull a trick or two from thin air !
Check it out before you cross the bridge 😃
Happy bridging,
Cheers
