train 9 2 11 .... continued!

LATER THERE WERE MORE THAN FIFTY REPORTERS IN STATION AND AN OVERFLOW CROWD OUTSIDE ON THE PLATFORM. There were representatives from television, radio, and the press, many of them loaded down with microphones and television gear. They all seemed to be speaking at once.
“We’ve heard reports that it was not a fire accident due to blast of cylinder….”
“Is it true it was a terrorist attack…?”
“Is the government trying to hide the truth from the people?”
The police officer raised his voice to regain control.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t tell you lot anything now not before any investigation takes place. It is our government’s firm policy that if we should come across any such evidence, we would immediately make that information available to the public. If there are no further questions…..”

It was 2200hrs and I was feeling hungry. I brought two food packets given by relief party out there. Rachana and I ate.

I tried to call Prashanth’s mobile but there was no signal. Rachana and I walked over to telephone booth, which was crowded. While we were waiting near the booth, I noticed something odd, there were two different wires aligned with the conventional telephone wire. I followed the wire where was it coming from, after walking nearly 200 yards from the booth I found the telephone pole, but the wire, which aligned along with telephone wire, was coming from the other direction. OH S H I T !!!!!

ek chotisi crush!!

It was four o’clock in the morning. Today was the first day of my plus one (11) board examination. It was English paper today. I revised the subject till 6 am. I had to reach examination center by 7:30am, as the examination starts at 8am.

After having breakfast, I rushed to examination center at 7am. I reached the center at 7:25am. The center entrance was filled with parents and students. Everywhere the students were discussing, some were cramming the last minute topics. I didn’t wanted to revise now, but the environment instigated me to open my book.

There rung a bell to invite the students into their respective halls. As I was entering the into the college main entrance gate I saw a girl (damn cute she was). And I just thought,”If ever she sits beside me….”
After checking the room no., which I was allotted, I kept my bag in the room allotted for the bags.

As I entered the hall, I was shocked to see the girl there. And I searched for the desk where my hall ticket number was inscribed on. Leaving the desk where the girl was sitting I checked all the desk numbers and my number was missing. I went to invigilator to ask where my number was, he took my hall ticket checked for my number in the seats allotment data sheet. He pointed towards the desk where the girl was sitting. My heart started pumping 100 beats per minute.

It was 8 am, we were given the question paper and the examination started. Paper was damn simple. I started answering the questions. By ten o’clock, I completed essay questions and short answer questions; I was left with grammar and comprehension sections. Now we were left with fifteen more minutes to end the examination.

The girl next to me jabbed me with her pen. Without turning my head, I whispered to her. “What happened?”
She pointed towards the filling the blanks section. I smiled and said, “give me two minutes, I’ll be completing my paper.”

Then after completing my paper, I showed my answer script to her. She copied the answers. The final rang and the invigilators collected our answer scripts.
She again jabbed me with her pen and said, “thank you!”
“hmm… that’s ok,….. by the way what’s your name?”
She gave a mesmerizing smile. “Rachana”
Then she asked me, “What’s your name?”
I said with a sarcastic smile, “you already know my name, I saw you peeking into the details on my hall ticket!”
She couldn’t resist from laughing. “Hmm.. So Avinash how was the paper?”
“Well Rachana, paper was damn simple.”
The invigilators allowed us to leave the hall.

Then Rachana and I collected our bags, later on our way to bus stop we discussed about the most probable topics that we could expect in the next topic.

After reaching the bus stop, she got into her colony bus, which already was ready to leave. She bided my goodbye and I waited for my colony bus to arrive.


PS: this was my most memorable crush I had up to date.

AUSTRALIA HAS MADE 434 AND WERE ON LOSING SIDE!, yeah you read that right. Guys whoever missed that match I pity you. You missed the most extreme pressure match Australia v/s S.A.
Boy o boy! What a match it was …Greatest match ever, greatest victory ever, bowlers from both sides were cleaned up, and records got tumbled all over.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MATCH:

Highest ODI score ever 438, scored by S.A; after Australia gave a target of 435 scoring 434, their highest ever score.
Most number of runs scored ever in an entire match on a cricket ground 872.
Most number of boundaries hit in a match surpassing the previous record, which was hold in the match between India v/s Pakistan, 84 boundaries.
Most expensive bowler in an ODI match, Australian bowler Lewis gave 113 runs in his quota of 10 overs, previously Muralitharan hold that record of most expensive bowler his figures were 99 runs in 10 overs.

It was the greatest ODI ever played, bringing back the memories of 1999 world cup finals.

FINAL OVER:

Well after the incredible batting performance of South Africans especially Gibbs, they were left with 7 runs to win in the final over. Lee was the bowler, ready to assault the batsman out there at the batting end. Ball 1, Boucher steals a single…… ball 2, Andrew Hall hits a beautiful boundary at deep mid wicket…….. ball 3, Hall tries to clear the in field but could not connect the ball properly to the bat and gets caught……little bit of twist here now 3 balls 2 runs to win the match but the problem was it was final wicket now and number 11 batsman was Makaya Ntini, not known for his batting abilities, has to face the music. Lee bowls the 4th bowl… Ntini nudged the ball to backward point for a single………………. S.A was left with 2 balls and 1 run to win…………Oh NO! Boucher stole the victory by slamming the next ball through long on for four … south Africa has won the match by 1 wicket!!!!

Absolutely no one has left the ground. What an unbelievable game it was…gonna be watched again and again, well it’s been a great day. South African’s proved that nothing was impossible! Superb victory!!

After the most extraordinary ODI ever, Smith was on a high, Ponting was like – can’t believe it happened to my team, Andrew hall was seen with Ntini was like saying – sorry mate for letting you in!

PS: we’ll soon witness a score reaching 500 in an ODI, very soon!!
