Badminton memories!!

Badminton, though it was not my cup of tea, I tried so hard to keep up my skills. Pavi is naturally blessed in it. I was chosen for the school team because I & Devi sprung a few surprises with the racquet in District games. Well, I'm not here to talk about the tournaments that I'd played[I could clear only the zonals, I was not-very-great-but-decent at it.] but the practice sessions we had had.

Bunked classes would equal the no. of attended classes. Despite of our English teacher Mrs. Glory's laments about our attendance every time we get a call from our PET Sir[I don't blame her, she's cared way too much for us] we were just desperate to bunk, adding a sting of jealousy to the rest of the classmates.

I could recollect...
The mixed doubles with Maharajan & Sarawin, which was so much fun because they went easy on us. And floppy games with Asha & Nisha(The Williams sisters of our school), the show-offs we do on the days of tournaments all dressed up for the games, the immense support we gave to Madhuvalan. The Veera sisters were very supportive too. We had cracked up laughing when Maharajan gave fake 'away' statements to a particular school girls when he was asked to keep a watch on the cock(which were well inside the courts), and so many more...

Even after we'd passed out Pavi was able to retain my name. [If she's reading this... weren't you, baby??] She brought laurels by winning at the State levels. Proud of ya!!

We had savoured every moment at the shuttle court. To my shock, it was renovated into a cycle stand when I last visited my school. How pathetic????

Bottomline - It was my beeping* game!
* you know what I mean.

    @Maharajan

    You gave a false decision actually when you were the line umpire in Vikasa school match :P .. It was during my district match :P .. Finally they found that you were Sivanars student and made some other guy sit in that position.. I even remember the way you told those girls to leave the cock as it is out hahaha :P

    Volley ball ah? Athella oru game ah?
    It's our game which had Ace priority.

    @Maharajan
    Yeah Devi is a silent killer. Class A was always better than B!

    @Suds
    We can't blame the school, Suds...We practically have so less space for a ground.

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

Spark + Magic = Love spell ??!!??!!

There was this talk going on in one of our extra-curricular sessions about 'RELATIONSHIPS'. Well, a few talked about their friends and the kind of relationships they'd had in their past and the regular crap. And then rose a gentleman amongst us and started talking about spark, magic and all that. The obscureness in his speech interested me to a good deal and moreover I strongly agreed with what he told. This is what he told[in my own words of what I could perceive] "All may tell the various reasons for their love, and why they liked their friends, but the fact is that there’s always this spark, or hidden magic that attracts people and make them fall in love or even friendship. The magic strings each other and builds the bond." [Seemed he'd been hit by a thunderbolt like what happened to Michael Corleone due to Appollonia Vitelli in Godfather ;)] And the person who was heading the conference did not agree with him[Of course he was counselor or somebody, he...

Have you also ever wondered?

Have you also ever wondered?????.... What will happen if you pray God sincerely for something and another person prays Him sincerely for the opposite? How do the ice-creams jump by themselves and fall graciously in all the Amul ads? Why on earth does Vijay act in the same storyline even when he knows that he's the punchbag for the current youth? Why do the girls want to be of Zero-Size even though it looks the ugliest and physically so repulsive? How the hell we complete books of 700 pages in a single night before the exam, while we can't do that during the whole year?(be that a novel)   That during the examination days when you sleep you get early morning dreams in which too you'll be reading, so that you think that you're revising and all the same continuing to sleep until 8 and wake up to find a lump in your throat...[This terrible thing happens everytime with me ;)] P.S - The list may have a few additions in the near future.
