EXTREME GAMERS VS KOOTHU PATRAI!!!

After an increasingly long time(about an year to be precise) spent dreaming about winning a cricket match out of my sheer talent and getting frustrated with absolutely inane siddhuisms,I actually got a chance to get some on-field action...Yes!!!I got to play cricket...
Well,there is this rather exciting,albeit stupidly titled,tournament called lagaan cup where a lot of people in my college come up with ridiculous team names(22 balls,Xtreme gamers,koothu patrai and so on so forth..) and some people play great cricket.And what's more,we use tennis ball and not the conventional cricket ball where you live in the constant fear of being a hit by a speeding ball directed towards you by some jealous batsman.This is the place where you can try some of the shots that Dhoni plays at your own physical risk(to be precise,you run the risk of injuring your wrists,arms,legs,head,eyes,knee...)
Coming to the actual match we were pitted against a rather easy team to beat who were best known for their innovative profanities and one particular shahrukh clone(wrong place dude,we need Aamir here).Really mediocre bowling attack and not a great batting line up to talk about,it should have been a routine day in the park for us,but Boy!! did we mess it up!!
We won the toss and as expected elected to bat(I'm used to this expression used by commentators everywhere,no one was expecting us to bat or bowl.The crowd there comprised of 11 members from each team).After a promising start,we lost our way and got to 71 off 10 overs.Good by any standards,but considering the fact that you are playing with a tennis ball and that the ground was about 1/10th the size of the smallest ground in Bangladesh,we knew we were goners.
They started off pretty well,actually,we let them start off well .The first over cost us 16 runs.We knew we were fighting a lost cause.Fielding did not help our cause either.We were not just giving them gifts,we were also giving them our credit card numbers!With everyone having an opinion and every opinion acknowledged,none actually worked and before we knew it was all over.
Well the boys played badly,it was just an off day(I MISS DADA).but the point is it feels good to know that i have some active muscles in my body and they do tend to get flexed every now and then.Good to know that i have aching muscles i never even knew existed..
And btw,yours truly did not make golden duck but got out off the second ball and gave away the winning runs!!!!

taking the plunge

Hi
I HATE BLOGS!!!..I had to spend a really long time to come up with a name in which i could have plainly done lot more important things,so imagine the time it would have taken for me to write this bullshit!!I HATE THIS!!!..i mean why is it that i feel it absolutely necessary to write a blog even though i have absolutely no idea what im gonna write about.Is it because i wanna flaunt my ignorance?No,i have better ways of doing that like writing my college exams.Why is it that even after 3 fiascos at writing a blog i still feel compelled to write another one?
If you r expecting any answers for these rather pertinent questions,U AINT GONNA GET ANYTHING!!!I am here because half the people i know r writing blogs and i think i can do better than most of them.
I am basically a very pleasant guy you know with the usual tantrums of a very normal guy with mood swings at mega hertz rate(im also a geek).
You can expect a bit of Bill watterson and Ambrose Bierce in my blogs(I am a little ambitious).
keep coming here and do appreciate my blogs.Ill try to keep these updated cos i am as jobless as you are
