Sports Day!
ReplyDelete~~
The day started early. Nike woke me up @ 5:30. (bugger)
Naresh, me and nike started from kothi to paradise @ 6 AM
As usual, the hyderabadi IITH bus driver said he will reach paradise in 5 mins @ 6 AM.
We started @ 7:30 from Diamond point near paradise, picking up people on the way.
Finally after going through desert, crossing mountains, oceans and a few cows, we reached the metal factory where the current IITH campus is located.
~~~~
Our first impression on seeing the campus was, "where is the campus?"
:) We were expecting huge labs, buildings, workshops, ad-block, library etc, etc.
We had to manage with one flat warehouse structured hostel "boys Hostel". And the real insti was 2kms away(which was the only multistoried(2) building they have!)
But the priority of the moment was quickly shifted to food ! (we were all hungry!)
We entered "the mess", and i was "macha, same seats as himalaya opp godav in iitm".
And to our surprise, paratha's and Chai-coffee glasses were also similar.
~ We quickly munched away the breakfast, took few snaps of noticeboards and moved to the Battle Zone.~~~~
Since we arrived a bit late, we adjusted our schedules a little bit.
~~TT~~
We started off on a winning note with PAN IIT's Invincible TT team of Ashwini Chadda and Ajay Gupta - IItian team was like "jahanpannah tussi Great ho".
~~BAdi~~
At the same time, in Badi Court, We were on a losing streak!
There badi insti no.1 was standing and making our teams run from one corner of the court to another. In 30 mins, we were 2 matches down.
(Pasha-Shailesh and Dinesh-Naresh both lost :P)
Somehow we managed to regain some lost pride when Godavari-Saraswati Combo of IITM (Mahek and Nimit) beat there team of Badi no.1 and Sports Secretary!!
~~Anyways this was just the beginning. ~~
The iitians were smart. They knew that our numbers were limited and participation would be a bit repetitive, so as the day progresses we will get tired. We moved to cricket after two games(TT and badi)
~~Cricket
LO. SHOCK OF THE DAY. We were asked to play with GLACE BALL. Naresh, who went to Gym for three days and had done extreme preparation for the Cricket match, almost ran away from the field. :P
We also came to know, that the IITH cricket team practices everyday from 7-9 in morning. They have been doing it for past 16 months.
We unanimously agreed to play with glace ball (although everyone was shit-worried about balls getting tampered in the process :P)
We won! (the toss) and elected to bat.
We had only one strategy in mind: if we do very badly, we will bat our innings and get lost. :)
The Team: Mr. X, Dinesh, Sanjay, Nimit, Arun, Mahek, Nikhil, Pasha, Ajay, Ashwini, Naresh and one IITH electrical Prof.
Somehow, We managed to put up 82 runs on board after a blistering, mind blowing and ball-saving 4-5 runs from two overs start, by our opening batsmen :P!
Mr. Extras top scored for our team. :D with 25% of the runs coming in extras :P only Two people managed to reach double figures. :P Most were happy to get out and pass the guard onto the next batsmen. :D
~~ But with only 82 on the board we were a bit worried. We started off well and picked up a few wickets in the first 3-4 overs, until there real batsmen began to dominate. We had a very high scoring over from sanjay and a never-ending over from Nike to cheer us up! Poor Naresh didn't get a chance to take ha-trick for which he had practiced in Gym for three days. :P
Khaled from IITH was the top scorer (i think) who was making fun of bowlers and hitting them all over the ground.
~~End of Part 1~~ Lunch Session~~
"Tu kahaan tha, kal raat" - Popular quote quoted by Pasha on the field.

After the Pan IIT meet @ ISB, yesterday i got to meet few guys at a informal yet fun activity.
ReplyDeleteThe day started for me at 5 am (probably the first guy to wake up for the meet :D) . Reached Koti to join with Mahek at 6 am. Nikil joined us in a while.
Like Mahek already explained in lengths about our wait for bus and the sun broke up while we were still killing our time at Yatri Niwas road.
I was excited about cricket but found the match too formal with stints of opponent teams shaking their hands before and after match !! and yaa the full set up of pads,glouse, helmet and worse the mat. While others were dead scared to even open the match, Guptaji and I bravely entered the battle zone and faced the furiest first couple of overs, paving the way for others to play the relatively easy spin attack . :P
Thanks to extras, we could put up some decent score on board. Curse the extras, we lost quickly and I didn't get to bowl .. :x :x
Highlights of Cric :
1. Sanjay bowling a full toss and getting the batsman bowled at leg wicket.
2. Nikhil's never ending over. :P
3. The IIT H asst Prof playing in our team was named "Solid State" by the students . Prolly he teaches Solid State physics to them. When he bats, shouts the audience "Solid batting", when he bowls "Solid Bowling". "Solid hein.." was being chanted by IIT H students..
4. Aniket mimicing the ad by saying "kal raat ko kaha tha..."
5. The match was initially for 12 overs and was extended to 15 due to the flow of our runs. But when we bowled, we actually wondered "Why the hell it was changed to 15 overs.." :D
6. One IIT H guy at the end saying "we were instructed to bowl pretty safely..so that not to scare those guys..(Pan IITians) "...i felt grrrrrrrrrrr.....
The IIT M guys (Mahek, Nike and co ) were fultoo excited for footty but there were no "Hand of God" shots to be seen. Infact we barely managed to cross the 3/4 of field twice. Thanks to Chintu @ IIT H. Clearly the lack of practice was evident enough as the guys had their breaths full.
Kudos to IIT H guys who practice on a daily basis. I suggested few guys to excel at Inter IIT sports (atleast in top 5 slots) to gain quick visibility across IITs. Going by their infra and campus, it will take years to actually get a feel of IIT environment.
The breakfast (bread butter jam) reminded me of my grub at IIT R. I made a point not to touch it and was contended with paranthas. :D The Lunch was decent . Happily missed Samosas at snacks.
The ulti shocker was the students at IIT H were unaware of NARUTO !!!!!!!!!! and i took my external HD to get some collection of 24. :D Obly i understood they wouldnt have none if they havent even heard about Naruto. To satisfy myself, i managed to copy some movies. :-)
It was a fultoo fun event yday. Made some new frens and had fun at sports. The bus ride was kool . Some of us event slept in the bus on our way back to hyd. I also got to see Mahek's galli car driving skills. ;) More participation could have actually prevented guys to play all kinds of sports, thus not tiring too quickly.
@Mahek Sahasrabuddi
abey ..mera saamoohik balatkaar kyu kar raha hein be? (in ref to prev mail :P ) Infact my Gym training helped as it was not too painful today. Anyways next time lets go for a kill with IIT H guys ;)
