We leave for Madras today. Infi things left to be done. We have to get the Tshirts from CST, the MP 99 from Selection Sports, get my ticket cancelled and Anish has not even started his packing! Anyways, we leave for CST at around 10 and when we reached Selection Sports, they told us that the rackets were on the way here and it would take atleast an hour for them to get here. The Pioneer Sports guy told us that the Tshirts had not been printed! And that taklu guy started giving us fundae that its human work and humans fall sick and so its not necessary that work can always be done on time. All of us tried to shout on him a little but the idiot was too much for us. He told us to collect the Tshirts from some third place. It was approaching 1 o clock now. I also wanted to get the chain of my kit repaired. So Anish and I went towards the market in search of someone to do it. Didnt find anybody. On the way, Anish managed to get a cool RBK tshirt...BTW, we didnt have any cash left at this stage (just to compound our difficulties) and my cell had exhausted its batteries. Finally we went back to Selection Sports and the rackets had still not arrived. We were getting very late already...I finally decided to go to CST and get my ticket cancelled, while Anish waited at Selection Sports. Meanwhile, Mittal and Bizza had started calling us up and asking "kahan ho? Jaldi kaam kyu nai kar rahe" which was really irritating! There was a long queue at the ticket cancellation counter and I got into that. Anish ka finally giveup ho gaya and he left from Selection Sports and decided to go after the Tshirts. Finally around 3:45, I could get my ticket cancelled and Anish had managed to get the Tshirts. I then went to Sel Sports and also got the rackets. It was already 4:10 by the time i reached CST back and we were supposed to gather at SAC at 4!! Good thing I had my cell switched off otherwise I would have had frantic calls from Bizza and Mittal and Anish! Finally reached insti at 5 PM, just dumped everything I had somewhere and started running all the way to SAC. Got 5 calls from Mittal and Bizza as I reached SAC. Anish too had just managed to reach the insti and we made it to the bus!!!! From the expressions on Mittal's and Bizza's fce it was clear that they felt we were doing lukkha there and me and Anish were too tired to explain anything. After saying Goodbye to Mittal we left for Dadar.


Coach cracks everyone up with the sleeping bag comment. Bizza’s berth was not confirmed and so we were tinking of some solution. Coach had a sleeping bag and so we decided to put it down between the berths. But coach says “ Why don’t we sleep in slots??” first we thought it was a joke..! Evidently, Coach was Making a serious suggestion!!!!


Bizza cracks Judgment by CHEATING. Keeps throwing cards of other suits in spite of having cards of the current suit. STUDD ADVICE AT WORK!

Width of the sleeping bag is lesser than Coach’s Width yet she manages to squeeze in. Studd wastes half an hour trying to understand how!
