Diary of a cricket widow

Note: This article is not written by me but I came across it while reading TOI Television is my rival in love and marriage IPL has turned many men into addicts      I became a   widow  at 22. My husband was alive and well and sitting right next to me,   munching on a packet of chips. But he did not respond to my voice and when I looked into his eyes, I saw a rectangular shape glittering   with tiny men dressed in white. The terrible   cricket  disease that he caught in his teens had taken him away from me in the   prime of his — and my—life.   First, it was just a mild attack of one-day matches, then came the more serious Test match fever and then the final blow was the dreaded IPL, which finally carried him off, leaving me bereft and alone. Though his body is still with me, his heart and soul belong to the   cricket  goddess. He eats, breathes and dreams   cricket . At night, when he cannot sleep he   counts the runs Sachin made in the last match. Our dau

  This is esoteric post only for Comp. Eng. Today I was having DMS (DataBase Management System) lab.  We were currently working on Oracle 9i made by oracle corporation. After the lab I went to parking as I was going to bunk all other lectures. In the parking, I saw Pawaskar Brothers.  If you don’t know them or saw them then let me describe them.

Let’s cut the crap… The thing is we got a fantastic treat by AhmedAli, Finahas, Vishwa, Gajjar and Jenil. If you are regular reader of this blog then you must know Vishwa, Ahmad and Finhas. Jenil is one of the most studious guy of our class, a good programmer, always makes jokes about only two persons :”Dukhi” and “Vaghodia”(the mystery about this will be revealed later). Gajjar is ……hmmm…………Gajjar. I don’t think I can write anything about this person. He may be a good person but every time I met him he was talking about some nonsense. By the way, these 5 persons were winners of this year’s FP, a college event. We 25 persons were invited into party. It would be boring for you to read all the names in the list. So I introduce them as the time arrives. It was 1:30 P.M. and we were really hungry. I was sitting in the comp.lab. wi
