The Summer That Has Been
(The following is an attempt to tell people what I have been up to this summer. The following have been dreamed and schemed based on little incidents.)
1.The Sherpa
The temperature is subzero. Cold blizzards are blowing at more than 40 miles per hour. But the tenacious Sherpa goes on. His back is breaking under the load of 25 kg of baggage. His palms are burning due to the bruises made by carrying baggage . The cold sent shudders through his body wet with perspiration. Even in such mind numbing conditions, he reminds himself of all the wisdom of adversity - Success is made a small step a time. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.darr ke age jeet hai. Almost there. Finally there he was, on the top of the world.
(Altering the weather conditions to hot and humid, the place to platform 9 at Chennai central and the destination to compartment S9 would suffice to give you the real picture.)
2. The Cricketer
26 runs required from 6 balls.1 wicket left. Pierce Ambrose, the fierce pacer to bowl the last over. He is known to pierce through the defence of many a good batsman. (But any way who is gonna defend now?)And, the batsman on strike is Eon Cradman, considered by many as “the best” batsman of all times. But can he handle the pressure?
Here it goes the first ball. A great delivery, steps on the off and nips back pretty quick, Eon could do nothing but defend it. A dot ball.
26 from 5.Thats a classic off drive. Four runs. Nothing much wrong with the ball. A bit full and off it goes to long off boundary.
22 from 4.What will Pierce do? And that’s a SIX. Pierce bounces it hard, Eon getting under it and helping it on the way to the boundary over the third man. Pierce is speechless.
16 from 3.Two sixes and a four will do. That’s a six as well. He is just amazing, picks up the well deceived slower one and hauls it over the midwicket boundary for a six. Eon is surely the man of the moment.
10 from 2.The air is thick with anticipation.Oh that’s in the air .The keeper is running for it, dives for it aaaaaaaaand he misses it. It’s a four too. Man! He’s got luck too. The stadium has gone wild.EON! EON! The mantra of the moment. Pierce looks crestfallen.
6 from 1.The captains talking to Pierce. Here it comes -the last ball and it’s a Six...NO! He is out. So finally it comes to an end-Eon’s brilliant innings. An attempted Yorker, ended up as low full toss, Eon plays inside out. The fielder on the boundary manages to catch it with a brilliant effort. Most disappointing for Eon and his team.
(Replacing the fierce pacer to a friend of mine who has not bowled for 2 years ,the batsman to me( not batted much for the past 3 years) and runs to get to 6 out of 6 balls, leaving the wickets left and the result same, would give you the true picture.)
3.The Fitness Freak
Scott Steiner’s biceps, Hrithik’s six -pack, the Incredible Hulk’s power, and spidy’s agility .He had them all.He believed in the theory of evolution because he was the fittest and if it were true he would be surviving. Even the Greek gods did not look better than him. But it was not easy. It was one big ‘fat’ struggle. He had to sweat it out. It was only after hours in gym, miles on the treadmill, thousands of push-ups and pull ups that he has got what Swami Vivekananda asked for-nerves of steel and muscles of iron.
(“Wake up! It’s the fifth time you said you will come walking with us”
“Mom, just today. I will start from tomorrow, please.”
I guess you get the picture)
4. The Soccerer
Soccerer, the soccer loving sorcerer was considered the greatest prophesier. As Euro 2008 was close at hand, betters all over the world were requesting his services. He finally got himself signed for as much Ronaldo was signed by man u.Soccer was one thing he was crazy for. But something terribly unprecedented happened. His prophesies went disastrously wrong as three of the four teams he prophesied as the last four were knocked out in the quarters. He is currently in hiding in yet unidentified place. The angry betters are on a look out to catch hold of him and bring him to the international court of the illegal justice (deals with cases with illegal agreements).Oh the patched orb! What troubles have you brought to the seer?
(The reason the prophecies went wrong was he did not use magic. With the confidence he had in judging the game, he tried to guess the winners and went wrong)
5. The Gamer
Helm, the Hammer-the very name that strikes terror in the hearts of his enemies. Be it a battle –land or water he is the one who will win. Under his tutelage, a great many universities, monasteries, beautiful and strong castles were built. His kingdom was foremost in technology.
(AOE of course!!)
6. The Philosopher
He used to believe what he was taught to believe. Now he is asking questions. Questions which grew more mystic as his knowledge grew, for there were many answers to the same question and all of them seem equally right. He is pursuit of that knowledge which shows him the right answer or show how all these answers may fit in.
(One question he asked was -Who is God?
1. “The Guy who created the matrix”-the wachowski brothers
2. “He was the one whose non-existence I proved using the Babel fish and anyway the only answer you need to know is 42”-Douglas Adams
These were the very first answers he got .He quite believed in the existence of both the Matrix and the Babel fish, was thoroughly confused. He got many other answers which looked equally possible.)
7. The Fantasy Writer
He lives in a tall tower, high above the mundane dullness of the world. A tower that only imagination can reach. He lives in a world of brighter colours and darker darkness. His dangers more dangerous, his joys more joyous. He does not explain things. His duty is to amuse. And amuse he does with riddles, secrets and fireworks.Ah! What is life without a bit of magic?
8.The Blogger
With no posts for the last three months, he has become the absolute Blogger.

9. The Time Manager
Now, we don’t have time for this do we?
(Anyway, there is not much to be said as much time was squandered playing AOE or reading novels)
10. The liar
Why do you lie?
When something has happened, I agree you can say a few true things about it. But for each true thing there are thousands of lies that can be said. It is infinite variety that interests me.
