After a hectic week at office I finally got the weekend off. My li'l cousin came over to stay at my place on Friday and that kinda forced me, not to work on the weekend. My uncle and aunt are leaving for Kerala on Monday, so they decided to stop over at my place for the weekend. Its fun to have these small family get-togethers. The focus shifts from me and my day to day mess-ups to my lazy cousin Karan (and his mess-ups).
Friday ended on a "high" note. I went out with my friends for a boozy evening. And boy what an eventful evening. We were in our elements after 2 beers and a couple of whiskeys and thats when my friend Rajesh casually put his head on Viral's lap and ended up getting his ears burnt (as weird as it may sound). Since Viral was smoking..some of the ash went right inside Rajesh's ear!! The ash still had some fiery splinters and burned his ears a lil! ..umm..i guess the exact amount with which you can make fun of someone. It was really funny. After dinner we laid down on the lawns at Sector 18 and stared at the night sky..promising ourselves we would stay on the grass the entire night. However, the mosquitoes got the better of us and we had to go back home. We all stayed at Viral's place, since we had a cricket match the next day. Actually, we were highly inspired by the IPL and hence started our own league at the office. We also shamelessly named it the NPL (NEC Premier League). Anyways, saturday started early..5:30 am to be precise. We got up..all sober..and raring to go. We reached the place a li'l late as we stopped for some chai on the way. Anyways the match started with 8 ppl per team. I bowled after a loooong gap of 5 years..but I was happy I had not lost any steam. Although I bowled some wides at the beginning. They posted 70 runs after 10 overs...a target which was easy to chase. Although we did have some early flutters but we managed to win with around 5 balls to spare.
Back at home, I met my cousins..had a nice beery afternoon..and slept the afternoon away. I was tired as it is from playing. In the evening we went to my other cousin's place for dinner. Since my family firmly believes that "a family which drinks together-stays together", we happily finished up a bottle of Smirnoff before finishing things off with an awesome dinner.
I got up today at 7. My cousins wanted to play cricket. I was game for it cuz the weather was really cool in the morning. Plus I also have my matches next week.. so I would get a nice practice session. Back at home sweaty and hungry..we all had a much needed breakfast. The rest of the day is gonna be filled with video games...ohh..which reminds me..its my chance to play.
