Good Ol' Days!

Scene 1

I enter Penthouse.
~Hell lot of slippers and shoes on the floor. Seems as if ICAS lives here~
*First Destination Raghav and Nikhil's Room*
Raghav with his head phones watching a movie, Nikhil not present.

*Second Destination, Kitchen*
Check out the refrigerator and find some Bhujia and fill a plate with random stuff.

*Third Destination Harneel and Sourabh's Room*
Ranka Sleeping and Harneel listening to Guetta.

*Fourth Destination The ROOM with the most happening things in the world*
By happening things I mean, the broken bed,the television and private tub for anubhav and Hitesh.

Till now the stuff I bought from the kitchen is over and now all I can see is the terrace and a bat and a bowl.

Next Task - Convince People to play cricket.
Hitesh Ready
Ranka Ready
Harneel assumed ready
Raghav if asked ....ready
Calling Ankit, Vipul, Vaibhav, Bharat
Ankit coming in 5 mins
Vipul coming if he is not busy with his private stuff in his room...namely c1 c2 and youtube.
Bharat supposedly coming in 5 mins but comes in 25 mins.
Vaibhav as usual something else to do but soon gets convinced to come.
Nikhil Jain has made his way back from the library and is ready for the stress relief cricket match

Whose Left.....Anubhav Kishorepuria ....He knows deep down he wants to play...but just because I have asked e will show as if he is not interested in playing.
But finally comes...

The teams are made after a brainstorming sessions.

The teams are fair and the match begins.

Ankit comes on to bat..
Elegance personified.
You get him, you get the team

Next comes Bharat Poddar...
Sehwag is all I will say.
If I get him out somehow, I will make sure that it gets onto his mind that I have taken his wicket

Next Comes Anubhav.
After staying on the crease for 2 overs and playing weird looking shots, gets out to fairly normal delivery by ME (YES ME) and looks towards the bat and the pitch as if something weird happened.(Dude it was fucking normal)

Next comes Nikhil
Excessive off-side bowling and finally gives in out of frustration.

THe common man is on the crease...you all can guess who I am talking about.
3 or 4 balls to the end of the innings.

Score 45 or lets say 65 just for the presence of ankit.

WE come to bat.

Hitesh in.
You get him under 30 , you have a match in hand.

but this time he makes 26

Next comes Ranka

Decides to defend 3 balls and thats it for him. Hits as if he has been told the harder you hit , the sooner you get a girl.

Finally Out and the opponents breathe a sigh of relief

Score- 51

Next comes Vipul

Extravagant shots but just misses to connect. Finally connects and gets out the next ball .
Score - 57

Harneel comes and repeats what vipul did and gets out.
Score - 61
*after discussion of who goes in next between me and vaibhav... WE decide I go in*
*in the mean while hitesh is sleeping on the walls with the net support,Raghav fielding in close adn getting abuses from everybody present for taking catch and leaving catch,Vipul and harneel sharing a smoke.*

Next I come in.
I make a duck.

Next comes in Vaibhav
5 to win
After all the defense, he hits a four.

Scores level

Bharat with his master delivery gets him the next ball.

The scores tied.
Game over

We go back inside to see Jassi and Baba watching Television and then Jassi decides to have batting practice and guess who is the bowler 'the common man'.

Endless discussion as to who was better and who deserved to win and who cheated and what was a wrong decision and the effect of that decision on the game and random things.

But nobody won!
We all lost.
Everybody lost.
Coz we can't have it ever agian in our lives.
I will give away my right foot to play again.(Can't give my hands)
Memories make you do funny things.

Very Funny things indeed.

My dream is play their again for one last time with everybody.

I live with a hope that it will come true.

P.S-Sorry for breaking the no-name calling pact as it wouldnt have been possible to describe without naming
