the one with all the poker


So those propagators of the chaos theory nd the butterfly effect had a point maybe-an occurence tht wud otherwise hv been unnoticeably insignificant turned our routines upside down-all be it fr a single night!!
so it so happened tht while we were mundanely consuming our dinner,a chicken leg from our very own shitij's plate brushed the sides of our "vegetarian" frnd shashwat,nthin special abt it except tht we hd addy(again our very own dear frnd) fr company,those of u who know him i need'nt say wt happened nxt but fr those of u who dnt know him,he gt all wound up n agitated in his own very typical way,which really cant b put to words,but thn this one wsnt all abt wrds...
the veggie-non veggie arguments reignited with the veggie side represented by addy of course n aptly supported by shashy n saraf . the pioneers of the non veggie side were shitij,of course,pd(pravanjan das if short forms flummox u) nd yours truly....
now its impossible to win with addy on arguments..(those who know him would be forcefully nodding thier heads at this point of tym)....so we hd a better way..a more manly way i must say..the fight would be settled over a game of lan poker....jst fr a prelude this game had become somewht of a sensation but the journey to the zenith of excitement had just begun....
now the moment a challenge sort of thing kicks in,it gets people all worked up no matter how utterly irrelevant it may be..the moment the match ws decided it ws followed by loud swearing ,belly shaking n n*****e pinching(last 2 by addy exclusively) which made more than a few heads turn towards us,now cmon we hd given our dull little mess smthin to rejuvenate itself with..
so we started debatin over the consequnces of the results, the details not worth mentionin in a respectable society to be honest,nd more than nethin we jst wanted to play so tht eventually took a backseat..
so the game started..positions were taken..nd it started in the most unceremonious way possible fr us,with me pulling off a disaster in the very first round..the loud and lewd shouting tht followed made students n even authorities to run over n enquire if all of us were being tortured by some hellish pain...but nthin cud dampen the spirits tday..nthin
the game tht started as a disaster ended worse..we lost in a matter of minutes but challenged fr a best of 3-challenge -challenge accepted...but then when u think things cant go worse they actually do,we were massacred,oh so much humiliation we nd the non-veggie community had to suffer..the stories of our defeats were spread loud n wide...but we took everything in our stride n extended the challenge to a best of 5( we always do this nd it alwayys gets accepted bcos the basic aim is to play)
fully aware of the do or die situation,we went with concrete strategies n boy did we put them into effect-the game ws taken to the next level-we played professionally and truly outclassed our opponents though thy never made it easy,but the comeback had begun,the tables had turnd,we cudnt stop here,we simply cudnt..
game 4 ws a roller coaster ride,wt started out as a thoughtfully planned out venture ended on a purely different note-it had become really intense,no one ws prepared to sacrifice an inch,whn suddenly our very own shitij started feelin sleepy...if u were lookin fr a blessing in disguise u cudnt hv found a better one....in a carefree stroke of brilliance(actually brilliance my ass,it ws pure fortune,it always is) he whipped our high flyin opponents,we were back on level terms...now laugh all u want but all of this had been mentally n physically taxing on us..so the GRAND FINALE was postponed fr a later day..
watch this space for more....


P.S.-the title has been borrowed from a frnds season one episode(hope thy dnt sue me)...the episode ws fun but nthin comparable to the fun v had tday...
