The Road To Zonals.

Hi.. Folks. Im back with a good news.. Our college(REC) proved to be too good as a cricket team..in zone 2.. We clinched the Cricket Zonals2008 hosted by the Anna University..There were 2 teams to beat before the grand finale..The tourney seems to be very short cuz of the knock-out stages.

The first one we faced was The Anna Univ..Anna Univ s certainly a tough side to beat.. They had PROFESSIONAL players in their list starting from the fiery shakti kamal to manoraj... Be it any team you gotta have that bit of luck.. Winning the toss we bat first..It was a surprise decision for me to open the innings alongside the giant Thirumalai. We scored 140 in 25. It was definitely a winning total but who knows ,25-25 cricket s anyone's game. We bundled them for 130.It was our day and we sailed past them..Our bowlers had a good length and the initial wickets proved vital..

Now to the second one.. against the SVCE.. Its a good team again ..They had a good mix of the bat and the ball.. Winning the toss we set a target of 139. Initially their scoring rate was faster than our's.. But the leftie Arun provided the initial breakthrough and from then on it was just a child's play.. The idea was clear.... give the single to the opening batsman and cut the singles for the new batsman..thus keeping him on strike all the time. It was indeed a good game plan and they were all out for some 80 odd runs. Now winning the semis. We enter into the Finals werein we play Mamallan.

Again we won the toss.The Toss thingy seemed to be in love with us cuz every time we make a call , they respond..Lolz..As the team started gettin good starts from us. We had to open yet again a new innings. They did not have an outstanding bowling attack, but it was pretty decent one. Unfortunately Malai got dismissed for a few runs, So i thought i had the responsibility to take ma team to a good fighting total. Rao was in. I could breathe now. Wot a man he is.? I have always been a fan of his batting. He clears distant boundaries with ease. Those are a treat to watch from the other end. C'mon man ,The first ball he faced raced like a bullet hitting his bat over the cover boundaries. wow !! i thought .. super shot..Wot else i need.?? Now i just had to rotate the strike and he's always there for the bigger ones. We blended soo well and put a target of 151 in a 20 ovr game. Imagine half the battle is won already !! And Our bowlers were all perfect .. hitting the right areas and giving us the confi. And the victory did not come just like that.... we fought it out and the winning moment was very emotional .

The guys were into tears and it took me some time to come back into existance. Wot a Victory ....REC Wins Zonals. Thats a real honour for all of us. Its never a one man show. Its always a team game, Every player has contributed something or the other.This s the moment that i will always cherish in ma life !

"CRICKET IS MA RELIGION and SACHIN ma DEMI-GOD."
Cheers !!

One Love .....

The day we parted :-( ,

The day you said you found a better guy,

The day you said, "i did not respond",

The day you said ,"i did not show love",

There i lay disheartened,,,

I felt something hard on me,

I couldn be as chirpy as i was..

Ppl really thought did i really exist..(?)

Im here folks , still alive .. But without a heart ..

Dear,Do you still need it.. ..???

Im sorry for being very stubborn,

But i wanna say,I Still Love Yo sooo much !!

....Letters.....

Letters are precious,letters are nice,

They are full of salt, sugar, and spice..

Letters are fun to read and write,

To those who are far from your sight.

Nothing matters to write a letter,

To make someone feel more better.

Letters reveal the secrets of your heart,

Show you are together though apart.

Letters convey wishes and blessings to you,

Showing that someone cares for you.

Through letters you can send regards to others,

To parents,teachers,sisters and brothers.

An affectionate bond is shown through them,

To me each letter is worth a gem !!

Life After Exams !!

There is no greater torture

than waiting for results after exams---

Science,or commerce,humanities or arts,

It keeps nagging at our hearts !!

This is the time for all kinds of numerology,

After all its human psycology.

In the End...,

I neither enjoy ma holidays

nor i utilise it in useful ways..

It turns out to be a mere waste !!

Yours,
