Today was an unusually hectic day as compared to the previous few that I've had to endure. Signs of life finally seem to be emerging from this thoroughly bored mind! The day began with an ominous deadline set by my mom to------CLEAN MY ROOM!!!.......Though on most occasions, I would have ignored it citing various excuses, this time it was followed by a threat...to disallow all outings before tuitions begin unless the task is complete by NOON!
As you can figure, that was just about the wake-up call I needed! Spent most of the morning throwing out piles upon piles of papers, notebooks, textbooks, answer sheets and what not! Laboured for half a day and finally completed my arduous task by abt 1-30. Following the completion of my chores and a quick lunch, I headed off to Poojapura for a game of cricket with the guys. The game turned out to be pretty exciting. While the opposition consisting of Kiran,Akram,Appu,Ashwin & co. posted 62 in 10 overs, my team consisting of Sidharth,Riaz,Aravind, Abhikith,myself & others, managed to chase down that total with nearly 2 overs to spare, having started off at a brisk pace. I chipped in with my spin bowling seeming to generate uneven bounce and turn from the track, causing problems and eventually earning me the wicket of Kiran, at a very economical rate as well! The highlight of the match were two lofty sixes struck by my teammates, both of which cleared the ground, one resulting in a lost ball, while the other was recovered successfully after a long search!
Following the match, Akram,Hrithwik and I left the ground at 5-45, catching an auto to head off to New Theater.....having had to lend cash for Sivin and Arun Lal and Hrithwik's tickets, I found myself stretching my wallets at the ticket counter! Arun Lal's absence in the movie hall further pissed me off! But the movie itself was excellent! A large audience consisting of Prathik,Ron, Me,Akram,Mathews,Sivin,Aditya,Ajith and Tao watched the movie together and it was definitely one of the most entertaining movies I've watched in a while. The film ended at about 8-30, and so I walked away uptil Overbridge, catching a bus at 8-55 and reached home finally by 9-30. It was a great day, a refreshing change from the regular routine of orkutting, blogging, chatting, watching TV and sleeping that I've been following recently, almost as a new mantra or lifestyle!
