And He said me No Thanks....

While returning from office I spoke to my friend regarding dinner & then we decided to cook @home. I was walking fast towards R Fresh to take some necessary items........Oooo it's started raining & I was almost running as I was not in a mood to take shelter because R Fresh was near by only....

Sir... Sir.... I heard... Who is this... some fraud he will put me in problem... I thought...

I had a look @him... He was in old cloths, bending his hands & legs in a particular shape... I was damn sure that he will cheat me.... He was not moving @all & mercifully looking @sky as if he is saying God please stop it..... In same way he looked @me.... Gosh......... what to do.... I thought....

Ok... I approached him.. He said .... I'm handicapped kindly help me to go on footpath.... I saw footpath was hardly 1feel above road..... I thought again that he will cheat me.... & decided whatever.... I wont' give him a single penny.... No I wont'..

I tried holding his hand but suddenly he holded my hand very tightly.. I was a bit scared.. I looked @him... he was still looking mercifully...

I tried pulling him towards footpath with vow that I wont give him money.... I pulled him successfully to footpath & helped him to sit down @ door step of a closed shop..... He looked @me smiled a bit & said thank you.... I moved towards R Fresh... I thought God saved me..... but moved back again I asked him "Do you need anything else".... I thought "anything" for money in my heart.....

And He said me No Thanks....

Down the Memory Lane - II :: Bangalore

***Kindly, read Down The Memory Lane - I :: Bangalore before this post.

It was bright sunny morning in a new World.... Everything was new. I had never seen such fresh air......... Aaaahhhhhhaaa.....slow, fresh, juicy. ............ hey, who are those people. ......... o my god so many people.... ok..... ok........... these are another teams.... O my god..... fast fast..... we have to get ready for inaugural session of National Baseball championship.

With all other team we Bihar team participated in march-past & all other events...... Being a good NCC cadet I was given charge to lead (???) last row & leftmost column so that even if some guys do some mistake it does not look rubbish...... I had never performed any kind of march-past in front of so big crowd.... it was just like a dream..... dream which came true....

After inaugural session, match started........ I can't recall exactly with which team was the first match, but when we were playing some very important person came. We were instructed to line-up............. I don't know whether he was S.M. Krishna or Devi Gauda or someone else but I think he was definitely then Karnataka CM. First he met with our opposition just standing opposite to us & then he met our head & then our head started introducing him with us...... I was just thrilled when he shook hand with me with a big smile.. then with manoj just standing after me... Manoj was the youngest in us..... suddenly he received a pat on his back from that VIP for being youngest......... me the poor....... all thrill went off in dreaming of being youngest........... ok..... then match started again........

*********

We had a great lunch.... especially I can't forget that fruit halwa.... ... hosts were so religious in serving us....

In each & every match which we were not playing we used to keep shouting despite lots of exertion... 'pitcher-pitcher roll the ball', homer-homer...... like that.....

During tea time everyone were having tea, since I don't I was just standing there... One person came to me and asked 'you don't want anything' no I said.. why? If you want I can avail you milk............. yummmmmmmmm milk...... yummmm.... hunn... I want....... he went inside stall & quickly offered me a glass of hot milk......... I was so happy........ & my every frnd including some new from other teams were wondering.... & they tried their best....... they went to the same person & urged for the same........ No...... no...... it was for him bcaz he was not drinking tea... u all were driking so we can't offer you............... huoooo huoooooo .... I was the king..... ok... prince........

Before official dinner we had decided to have that Dosha & yummmmmm chatni again....... so, after dinner we all ran to Chatni Man....

During afternoon we have visited nearby areas............. whatever we used to see were like we were watching it on TV.... clean roads, so much of trees everywhere........

I think Bangalore was really beautiful in March 1993....... the month & year I arrived here for first time for participating in Sub-junior National Baseball Championship. The 'big stadium' was I think Cantireva or Cantiriva or like that & that 'a bit round shaped' bus stop was majestic. And that different Dosha was I think Set Dosha but where is that yummmy chatni.........

Thanks & Regards

Down the Memory Lane - I :: Bangalore

We all were so tired. Everything was shaking, after a long journey of Patna to Bangalore via Madras in unreserved coaches. We were almost 9+7+3 or 4.............. One guy fell on track itself....

After coming out we were guided to bus stand by strangers. Bus stands were a bit in round shape. Soon we got a bus. Oh, my god what a speed................. Some got the seats, some shared & still some stood up.......... We were just trying our best to look inside & outside to get a feel...... but at such a speed in young night, I was hardly getting anything. What I got was roads were big [wide], not much of traffic..... unhhhhhhh ya & lots of trees....

We got down at one place. Almost, no people were there..... our head instructed us to count ourselves.......hey 1 was missing........ My head was smart he had noted the bus no. He took another bus & instructed all of us to go inside a big gate..... we entered & sat down on cemented area..... We were very serious about that guy......... soon our head returned with victory...

He leaded us inside.... it was a stadium..... big stadium...... I had never seen such a big stadium........... But, no one was there... our head started shouting....... Koi Hai........... again Koi hai........... I asked my head permission for shouting............... Is there anyone........ Anyone here........... then I shouted 'Munde', 'Yen Ri'.......... one man appeared............. Ha ha... I was the winner...... He approached us.... My head introduced him ......... It was already I think around 9pm or so....... he showed his helplessness in arranging foods but he arranged one big hall with lots of metal cots... & he also guided us to a down-lane just opposite to stadium.. where we ate a different kind of Dosha with so delicious chatni......... we also purchased Modern bread & Jam from a small shop 'Sri Devi'.....

While retuning my head asked me what u shouted....... With a winning smile I replied I shouted in Kannada...... he just looked at me with a Great smile.......... After returning in hall some of my frnds asked me about my Kannada knowledge then I told them how I learned some words from an eng. student who was a Bihari & he was with me in whole journey........

Then a ................Good Night.................
