I was waiting for a call from maddy(my bro).. it'd been a real long day and i had so much to talk about.. it finally rang.. i ran to pick it up- any wild guess as to what he asked first??
hey cho2 channel 26 or 60.. wads the score? who's batting? im on my way bak home from dinner!! At times i wonder- is this all that he worries about? What is the craze all about? what is so awesome about the game? How come inspite of having such a fanatic at home i never loved it that much, ouch!
Maddy is like this walking cricket statistics dvd! all u gotta do is sit with him and woooof off to go to the world of cricket- test cricket.. the actual cricket, those 5 glorious days, how it started.. wads the story behind the ashes.. how Sir Issac Alexander Vivian Richards is the greatest ever batsman or even how hyped the 20-20's are.what is bradman's last match's score? some law of averages.. lakshman's 281(i hope i'm right).. and so on..
Maddy has something to say about it all.. even His blogs are filled with cricket stuff..!
He once even told my mom, mamma if my wedding is on the world cup finals will i be allowed to postpone it? the wedding ofcoursE! my mom is still a little shocked, but ya we love this lunatic and have started accepting his randomness! And this.. mom when i find THE girl i'm gonna make sure she loves cricket!! poor thing. :P
I finally thought wads the big deal.. Seems like a simple game. 11 guys in a team..2 teams.. lakhs of crazy people around an umpire, fairly normal rules.. swing, square cut,cover drive, duckworth-lewis,lbw,slip... ya i kinna knew all this. So this time when maddy was giving cricInfo a serious thought i thought it'd be the right time for me to show him that i wasn't that bad after all.. If he could make my best frnd pri cric crazy then I shudn be too tough!! :D
one late saturday night Maddy and i had a random cricket quiz before which he gave me a gist of the rules of the game. I obviously thought he started that to make me look like an ass! So i gave it all i could and got a 7 on 10!! yes.. a SEVEN! He was shocked.. arre motu how do u know so much man? i swear i didn't see that coming.
Hehe.. it is like this.. when you are in france you don've too many options.. You will end up learning french! :D
The game is fun no doubt.. the fans, the style, the men!
Maddy has a preconceived notion that women can never be better than men at two things-
1.Driving
2.Cricket
I have hereby decided to prove him wrong! :D
you are so gonna take back ur words bro!
what was the score again? was it sri lanks playing? :P
P.S. Girls don't watch or like sports just for rugged sweaty hot men! There are a few of us who are truly interested!

too fast.. its making me too furious!!!
I wanna jump onto that bajaj chetak and be dropped to school again! I wanna wear just anything and be able to run out of my house. I wanna lick ice cream off my nose t-shirt and smear maddy's face with some and get into a silly fight :D
I miss all this and more..have I become old and boring at 18?? damn!! I wish I could just be 7 o even younger, be stupid, irritate people and get a lovely smile in return, play really dumb pranks and laugh when old people yelled at me :)
good old days.. the best times!!!
No one has the time or the patience to even scold me now. haha! I remember hiding on the day o my report card or pulling it out of my bag 5 mins before the school bus came. I was 1 o the naughtiest specimen's according to most of my teachers. hahaha! The way i used to cycle around the block at 12 o 1 in the afternoon.. dirty my clothes ,find new ways to torture people, make my gran chase me, have wounded knees and messy hair :) :P
Now life is all about, o my god I wanna look perfect! people myt consider me as a wanna-be if i try too hard though. or a fashion disaster?? right amount of make up. perfect hair. sunscreen. kajal. lip gloss.
Aaah such a plastic girly life. I wanna wear stupid torn shorts, a lil blue speg, a pink hair band tiny pretty chappli and run all around the block!! forget all my worries..scream like a maniac.. hit all my stupid friends.. play and come back.. hog and sleep on ma mom's lap!! i really want to do that :)
So what are we chasing? Money, Fame..?? love?? World peace?? life is like some electric train. But atleast these trains stop for a minute or two in between.
classes,studies,ambition,books,concepts, o my good lord.. I just described my life lately.
I haven't even spoken to papa properly in a year odd. I am afraid that moving so fast in this lane called life is not proving very advantageous!
A nice sunday. Get up at 7ish run to CTR have breaky with my best friend or have awesome brunch with ma family.. talk about my hectic week ahead. laugh. play. irritate. discuss some problems. seek advice. siesta. loaaads o tv. a movie. some nice reading. family friends relatives.
A typical sunday. get up at 5. rush to class. sit there till 2. get back home totally bummed out and hungry. hog. sleep til 5. try to watch tv, get yelled at by mom and study. dinner at 9. sleep at 11!
I really wanna jump off this train, take a literal big break!! Pack my bags suddenly on a friday evening and drive to some lovely place out o this busy city!! :)
any volunteers??

school n a bit more..
Hahaha.. never thought I would be writing about those days! Frankly, I didn't like them too much.. Never got the attention i always wanted. Same old monotonous schedule. Get up at 6, wash up ,scoot,school-on til 3.30 and thn the happiest 45 mins of my day.. yes!! runnnn back home baby.. :) the whole big school bus gang(jo peechi shef kiran rahul sneha giju n moi) would run to catch a god damn crowded 401B bus. Yell laugh fight and get Giju (ya the same ol ass) beaten up!! Then get back home and... and... ROT!! play or meet people till 6, report home and start my homework(yiekkz) study(hmm..) and then Tv at 9 crash at 10.30 and just hope that 6 a.m. would never come! :P
I was in national public school till my 10th grade. That school was changing me without my knowledge! people see me VERY differently now. I am not quite sure if I like it though! :P o good lord whom am i kiddin I love the way I am. Everyday in school I was learning somethin new and important and weird people taught me the best things. Some small lessons were indeed very valuable, esp. relationship ones!! My group was a lil girl gang, the typical sorts! O I wasn't the all A-grades only sorda person but i sure had a blast. 10th grade came too soon. And me being soooo me never realised why people were crying and hugging around.. hmm.. so wad? big deal? everyone goes through this!! but I guess I realise why.. ya.. it is true.. nothing remains the same after you walk out of that campus! even the watchman moves on! I went back to that place just once out of my own will. 4 years in NPS was good. My friends at least the leftovers :P were and still are really precious.
What have I actually learnt in Nps!! after paying around 30K a year, I learnt what friendship meant, how to help others, all about self respect, honesty, hatred, naughty,love, but most of all i learnt to be happy. The moment I entered college and got those "Must be some chik wit attitude" looks, I could do nothing but freak out :
I,over the 3 years of my college-ing which ahem.. isn't worth mentioning.. did have fun!More like a nice and new experience.. I met soooo many new ppl.. The way they were, their behaviour, lifestyle.. everything! was just different! it has been really tough to fit in! I am still trying.. did meet a few great people.. kaavya n vishnu.. they were 2 big reasons for me to feel better in that battlefield :)
In a few months from now, I am going to leap! Career type leap. I am so confused about what I want from my life but I am sure excited to see what'll b coming my way!
