Giving it a Try!

STSD Football Cup 08 finals i had a very good time playing as a forward. we had defended well and had not conceded any goals till finals. we didn't perform well in finals and so had lost to our arch rivals BTO.

We played our last league match of 20-20 cup against ITC. ITC won the toss and elected to bat first. Anyway we were short on in-form batsmen as they were not available on weekend. ITC made around 150 , thanks to inconsistent bowling. i did bowl couple of good overs but gave away some 32 runs in 4 overs. In first over of mine, i had bowled one bad ball on leg side and as keeper was close to wicket missed it and went for four. the very ball, had bowled an incutter which landed perfectly just outside off stump but passed very close by to leg stump at the same time keeping low. keeper missed it and voila that was another 4 runs in byes. got couple of wickets for same incutter ball. nowadays i am trying more of the incutter as i am getting good inswing. normally my strength is outswingers and legcutters. and one good thing that happened to me that i cant forget for long time is that, finally i was able finish off one super catch standing at mid-wicket. thanks to jhenkar the bowler. i was in...

On sunday we had a friendly match at infosys campus scheduled at about 8:30am. so was planning to wake up at around 6 am as i was not sure how much time will it take to reach there from cv raman nagar. i first heard the alarm ring at 6 am but finally woke up around 6:30. and after having some tea starting around 7:10 am. was pessimistic about the traffic towards electronic city but found it to be a cruise ride. as fly-over construction was going on, missed the right turn towards entrance of e-city. luckily there was option of U turn and reached the ground. The security personnel was letting us in as he had not received the intimation mail from people on their side. typical nature of these men to show what power they possess! finally we were let in after lots of walkie talkie, hand signals talks among security personnel. what a ground was it! loved it at very first sight. i didnt see my captain losing toss, but as everyone does it, the toss winning captain elected to bat first. arun an...

Here i am planning to pen down my cricketing experiences. so do check out occasionally about some interesting match encounters.

So we did had a family day which was absolutely fantastic. my father, mother were much interested to see the new campus. we started a bit late from home as usual at around 11 am and reached office by 11:30am. Unfortunately, as we got late, i had no option but to avoid the traffic on old madras road and so had to take the pathetic road from mahadevpura. believe me this mud road is a true roller coster of sorts. The first thing we did, was showed my cubicle to parents. Then had coffee from e-cafe. Then showed the cubicle of my section manager which we had decorated the earlier day. The theme was a cricket ground. As you might have guessed, the ground was not that picture perfect. actually the earlier day me and my colleagues were visiting nearby wings to check out the cubicle decorations. seeing this, we got inspired and decided to decorate our cubicles. but being lazy , we finally decided to decorate only one cubicle. so we started by around 2 pm and worked on the idea of ground till 12...

On 17th Nov, 07 we will be celebrating family day at work. this is the first time, that i will be bringing my parents to office. i am very much excited to show them my cubicle, my machine and all my collegues with whom i fight, rag juniors and of course play cricket! so wait for more details of the day...
