Sports buster
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008I was always good at sports. I was better than anybody in my school in discuss throw, shot-put, volleyball, races and cricket. That’s why you will see my house full of trophies of various events.
If I count them all they would be around 46 of them, most of them for first position.
I am particularly good at cricket. As a normal all-rounder I can bowl, bat, field and even keep wickets with near perfection. I was the captain of my school team and won three interschool championships for them. The only match I lost was against the Navodaya Vidyalaya. We were supposed to chase 104 runs in 15 overs, not a big target by our standards, but everything went wrong that day. I decided not to open and give chance to my younger batsman but it was no longer than 3rd over and we were struggling at 10 for loss of 4 wickets. I went in there and faced a few deliveries to settle in. On the last bowl of the over I placed the bowl in between two fielders. It would have been an easy single and a difficult two. I decided to take a single but my partner had different views. I don’t know what was he thinking but he ran the second run with bowl in the hand of the fielder. I obliged and paid the price and was run out. Our team was all out at score of 24 runs and we lost by 79 runs.
After that we grouped back as a team and had our plans going. We defeated the same team in the finals to win the championship. That was a special feeling.
This cat isn’t any animal, it is CAT or common admission test, the score of which is used to determine fate of thousands of students.
Previously the laptop was on parallel surface and as such there I thought it wasn’t good enough to meet the cooling needs that a laptop requires or deserves. Come on every thing in laptop is so closely packed that there is hardly a part in lappi that doesn’t cry for optimum temperature. You can’t have an ac every where and I don’t have it at my home. So the stand was necessary and I bought it cost me $ 9 so it wasn’t heavy on pocket as well.
