Soon I was enjoying watching others play more than playing itself!! It was fun to watch Josyula and Dinker’s match. More fun followed when Shailesh Dhawla came to play the mixed doubles dressed as a lady aka Chachi!! He was paring with Shubham and they played Josyula and Ashita(for these two it was a warm up match :)). The match was lots of fun for all onlookers . . . I felt real appreciation for Dhawla . . .the one who dares to make fun at the expense himself for others’ enjoyment is worth being appreciated . . so I promised Dhalwa a treat after the match. . . Dhawla asked whether he should come as he was dressed and I thought that would be a great fun .. so I agreed ..
As we were getting out of the campus we crossed an aged couple was taking its night walk. The lady first looked horrified and astonished seeing Dhawla who was looking like a perfect ‘Gay’! But soon she realized that it was a prank and started laughing. We went to Hirnandani – Smokin’ Joes (because Pizza Hut was overflowing) and had dinner there. My my! We did attract a lot of stares along the way and in the snacks-bar also. In fact while we moved through Galleria (Hiranandani’s Shopping center) I asked Dhawla to walk with me hand-in-hand .. that was it!! We found many more staring at us . . the adventure was worth it!! Finally we got back and the autowaala, I think, really mistook us as he was taking us to Vihar Lake instead of NITIE and was more than astonished when we told him to take us ‘into’ NITIE.
Anyway, that was all – finally I stayed on the court to watch Josyula and Ashita play their Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals !! I should say I enjoyed watching both of them play. Both are committed and talented players and while I was watching them play I came up with tag-lines for both
“Josyula doesn’t play with the shuttle; he plays with the opponent’s patience!”
“Ashita doesn’t try to win; she decides to win”
PS: ashii also won the women's singles the day before . . .
I have learnt a lot today by just watching people play; hope I can use it in my own play in future. Baaki as the post name suggests !! As of now ..life’s coooooooool …. Life mein abhi bahot saara Tiwst hai !!!
