The Day I Created History....

I know the title is highly funky and BIG!! but today was special ..

The day started with a boring EPS lecture. After the lecture we went to play cricket at the 5 Gardens. This is becoming more of a routine these days. We play almost thrice a week. 

So we were playing a 6 over match and i went out to open our innings. We were batting first and so there wasnt any kind of pressure on my and Rahul, who was opening alongside me. We had a good steady start and our run rate was pretty healthy. We were scoring like 9-10 runs per over. In the third over, i committed a stupid mistake which resulted in Rahul running out. Afterwards Pranav joined me and we played the next two over pretty well. At the end of 5 overs our scorecard read 56 runs. It was a good score as it is.... But what followed next was something of miracle which everyone of us must have dreamed of. 

In the last over i hit 6 sixes!!!!!!! Not only that ... We scored 40 runs in that over!!!!!! 

(hey 6*6 is 36..... so how come 40???.... i will explain)

Ball one: It was a juicy half volley and i dispatched it over the mid-wicket boundry... First Six

Ball two: Similar ball..... this time it crossed the 5 gardens and went into a taxi...

Ball three: A low full toss.... blasted it!!!! \m/  18 runs from 3 deliveries..

Ball four: A DOT BALL!!!!! i swinged and missed....

then my friend bowled 3 wides!!!!! so now it was 21 runs from 4 balls..

Ball five: A full toss above waist height which was hit for a six !!!! 7 runs... 

   

So it was 28 runs from 4 balls!!!!

Ball 5 (again): A short pitched delivery . I pulled that one like a tennis shot. Surprisingly even   that went for a six!!! ( 34 from 5 balls)

Ball 6:  A simple short ball which was again pulled for a six... ( 40 runs from 6 balls!!!!)

i agree that the bowler was bowling pretty lame deliveries but 40 runs from 6 balls was like truly AWESOME!!!!!

we posted a huge total of 96 from 6 over ( 16 rpo!!!!!) 

It was indeed a memorable day for me...!!!!! I actually did something worth remembering!!!!! 

Cheers!!!!

PS: If u think what happened of the match.... we did win it :P

Mysterious girl!!!

Okay.. now i got a few compliments on my blog posts which were.... well how do i put it...a bit romantic in nature... so i decided to write another one of those. And this one being a personal experience... So here goes.

Now this year during our sports fest we had college from all over mumbai and maharastra coming to participate. Now there was this certain girl from XYZ college whom i had taken a liking to. I first time saw her playing throw ball... Now all the guys watch throwball primarily for checking out girls... but in reality its a pretty nice game with a lot of complicated rules, which take a year or two to understand fully.
Now many people taunt me and make a joke out of the fact that i watch throwball matches and cheer my college/ department for the same..... well lets just day that those guys are Gay... There is no simpler explanation to that.

So getting back to Miss Beautiful... She was a very nice girl... Pretty face, fair , decently tall, silky soft brownish hair, cute face, light brown eyes, cute face, she even had little dark circles but even those looked great on her.... really awesome girl.

My friends who were the event heads could get me her name but didn't give me her number.. for the sake of secrecy lets call her the "mystery girl"... So my bad friends didn't give me her number... but i really didn't want that..
i was just happy to see her play....

So after the tournament got over for them , she went and that was the last of it.. I just hope to see her next year.... But it was not to be that way

Apparently a friend of mine from first year knew that girl pretty well. She told me that after a fortnight... Wat crap!!!! ... Idiot girl!!!! ... but none the less i was happy to know about my mystery girl.
So this girl happened to be from a big shot family.. Doesn't matter. Days passed like that only...

Now in march ... Almost 2 months later our neighbouring college had their sports fest.... Again the beacon of hope lit up for me.. So it was yesterday when i was playing football in my college, when my friend from first year told me that my mystery girl was there at the tournament and that their college had a match against our college.. ( she thought i was at home... so she msgd me just to tease me.. But i was there in the college...) So i ran after my football practice and instead of going home i decided to go to my neighbouring college.. i was damn hungry but i didn't eat anything. That time my focus was elsewhere. I went to our back gate as it was the shortest way... but it was closed.. (Damn it!!) There was no time and i didn't want to go all the way to the main gate and the circle the entire college.. So i just climbed our wall and jumped over it..... All this just to see my mystery girl....

Damn it.. That's so uncharacteristic of me... But i was doing this.. I went into that college and called up my best friend (he studies in that college).. He greeted me at the main gate and he perfectly knew why i was there... So he took me directly to the throwball court... And there she was!!!! It was such a relief to see her again... I felt nice and light.... our college team knew why i was there and the captain and a few senior players taunted me too.. But i wasn't really listening...

She still looked the same... I mean your looks don't change in two months but still it happens many a times with us that our second look at the person doesn't create the same kind of magic as the first look does... Here the magic was still intact..

After that i went to eat something... Then the match took place and our college surprisingly lost the match.. That was saddening..

So now it was time to leave and i had asked my first year friend for an introduction with my mystery girl..
But yesterday i was in no mood for that.

The reason being every time you have a crush on someone because of their awesome looks and you try to get to know them... following cases occur
1) You talk to her and you discover that her voice is very weird... at times its too nasal or too weird which makes you go "eeeeeeeeee!!!!!!"
2) If you do get to know her better then she just becomes your good friend and then the crush vanishes and you feel that you are better off as friends.
3) Sometimes the girl like you as a brother.... ( your heart cries out Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!)
4) The girl is too girly and a sentimental, irrational fool which changes the nice impression you had about her...
* sound of glass shattering *
5) If you are really lucky enough then that crush can turn into a true love

In my case generally cases 2 and 3 take place.... 5th case never happen in my case

But this time i didn't want any of the above cases (except 5th) to take place.. i was just content in seeing that sweet girl expressing joy on winning.

On my way back home my first year Friend told me that my mystery girl was an year older to me(*again sound of glass shattering*) and again i felt, like i have felt on countless occasions, "Damn it!!! i should have been born an year earlier...

My friend asked me "now what???... you didn't even talk to her or wait for an intro... plus she is an year older to you..... now what? "
I didn't explain any of the above cases to her....

i just told her , " Its her ( my mystery girl's) bad luck :P " ( now that characteristic of me) ....

So i didn't find out more about my mystery girl and i let that thing end then and there... but i found out one reassuring thing about myself.... I am awesome!!!!

PS: the last line is inspired from how i met your mother... and i know that barney stinson wont have any objection to that... BTW my mystery girls looks a bit like robin.... :D

PPS: She is not older than me.... :P
