Cricket: More than a game for India

It was the ego clash between 3rd year and some of the 4th year boys which triggered a batch revolt between them. Girls were forbidden to come outside the hostels (but obvious, that’s the way our society is), but cellular phones helped to keep us updated of what was going on outside. Random people were beating each other with rods and even pens for that matter; hence the authorities had to call the police and ambulance. Besides normal stitches here and there some were beaten to blood. Welcome to my college where we all aspire to become future IT professionals of India.

I again tried to be the spectator of the game to check out how people react.

Man of the match: Brigadier
He came, he saw, he conquered! The 5 hour battle came to a halt in 5 minutes. This man got the police to put fear in the minds of impulsive young crowd. He will be cursed for giving orders to wardens who force students to attend classes (Well it was supposed to be mass bunk in order to rebel) only because he doesn’t want the academic processes to be out of schedule.

Cricket Teams :(The actual Culprits)
They will walk on the road less travelled through the registrar’s office and grow stronger in their minds after witnessing the huge support they have from their colleagues. Creating a huge scene for an unnoticed minor act should be a lesson to be learnt by the radicals of our nation from these young men.

Extra players: (The ones who involved themselves for their friends.)
When a river starts, it has maximum velocity and makes it way through the hardest of rocks. Such behaviour was observed among several people who stood by their friends against the opposite team. They took and gave all they had in terms of strength and service. The wounded will gain sympathy from the ignorant friends and win popularity of all sorts from different sections of individuals.

Audience: (3rd year Girls!)
They have no say and will never be involved in the battle of any sort in this game but are an important part to sell news with the speed of light. Like fans show excitement, young women in hostels obey the mass bunk decision taken in the boy’s hostel (remember many of them are injured and would want an excuse to stay away from classes) to show team spirit and loyalty towards their friends. Now I can’t judge the Audience as I am not the spectator but a part of this crowd.

The whole affair will cool down and our university will get back to academic processes by lunch time today. Who won and who lost is for you to decide as the Umpire, are You!
