Claimer/Disclaimer: This post has been waiting for a lot of time. Had been thinking of putting it up for quite some time and there's no reason for its delay because I have been sitting idle at home for past 15 days with no work at all and hogging all of my mom's laad... as his laadla had been back to home first time after earning (More on that in the next post maybe!!!!!)
And for the disclaimer u can read the previous post :)
So getting onto the post now.... Finally (Ppl will be seeing phew!!!)
Ok so in the final year after the escapades of our third year in coll (yeah all of us managed to pass)... We moved out of coll campus... took up our own residence in the city and bid the hostel and all its rules adieu... the place was great and i liked it instatntly (the story of finding it during our peak placement season i think i'll put on hold for now)
In the final sem our own dear HAG joined the bakchod apartments of ours as the next room neighbours (but it was kinda joined place for us 11)... So again started our new obsession with newer game... We had given up the gud ol midnight club coz of the disintegration of our grp in the final year location wise... HAG had given hostel life a chance for one more sem... Two or three of the side artists had shifted to apartments relatively far away from ours and also the game had been completed once during the end of our third year so our obsession had come down with the game....
Ok the newer game we chose to try our hands at was the fav gully game of Indian subcontinent which had been bought to the computer screen by EA SPORTS.... Cricket 2005. With the newer game came newer player in the group... there was VKT(the dept topper, but he had a very minor role.. kinda guest's guest appearence), our beloved BABA(his entire dealings will demand a new blog, me and VKT plan to do that sometime in the future), SHS (another dept topper... but he was involved with us). And the older(not in the sense of age) players involved were yours truly, HAG and GG (the guy with the name synonymous with the father of our nation and yeah u better read and comment).... and once I really missed out on one of my sessional exam because I was up all night playing the game for the first time in my life (In Munnabhai's language bole to mamu life main kuch na kuch kabhi to pahli baar hi hota hai)
Ok so now onto the game.... there were 6 of us but generally the 3 or 4 us played it at a time and no there was no multiplayer option... we used to take our turns with the batting with each one of us allowed to bat till the fall of two wickets which used to happen very quickly and the match nvr used to last till the allotted quota of 10 overs that we used to keep the match length and we did end up on the loosing side most of the time but what the heck.... wat we really enjoyed more was not the game and winning (well it wud hv helped had we won atleast those but we are used to seeing INDIA loosing always) but the constant fights about the turn whos gonna take the batting control next, to put the blame on the others for loosing the game, the GG's irritaion if we wanted to play and he wanted to study or watch a movie (it was his comp and his room btw) and the passion it used to arouse with every four or a six (its not a difficult game after some initial learning phase and whether it be a real game or a virtual one cricket does arouse passion in the Indian crowd generally)... we really used to be such a children back then and its not even a 8 month old story and I really loved it infact we all did.... the grp kind of broke of after the clg... two are in US... one in mumbai, one in chennai and myself in blore.... so 4get abt palying a game of Cric2005 we dont even get to meet each other and hang out... yaar i wish those days were back... with the carefree attitude tht even the exam were not able to deter... ghosh professional life does take out so many things out of yr life... anyways we ppl plan to meet next year at new year maybe and relive those golden days....
MAYBE!!!!!!!!!!
