It has been quite sometime since I saw them. The old Scorpions Venki and Ranga had to come to Chennai for some reason and they decided to come to Velachery where the other Scorpions Vignesh, Shyam and me are. When Vignesh told me that they're coming here this Saturday, I didn't know that I'm going to have an awesome 2 days. It was indeed one of the great times I had in this life time. Nothing so special - what we did was what we were good at - cricket. They came on Saturday, late at around 12 in the noon. When we were busy planning what to do - either to go to a movie or to go to some nice place in Chennai. Shyam was on an early morning shift, so he joined us late at around 3 in the evening and when he arrived home, we were still deciding whether to go to a water sport theme park that was opened recently in Poonamalli or just to go to the beach. Ofcourse, we had plans for the night!
As soon as Shyam entered, he decided we play cricket - just like the old times. It seemed to be a good idea, but rather one unlikely because we normally play cricket on Sundays only. The other guys around our area didn't know that they are in for a surprise and Shyam made some calls and fixed the match. It was just like the old times, Venki brought his buddy Gopi as well and they mingled into the group very well. We were indeed surprised by the number of people turned on for the match and it was fun to be playing with and against the fellow scorpions. The insults (the one where Venki got out off Gopi) the surprises when Vignesh took catches and some usual's where I always get hit by the ball.
Vignesh told some lies to his family and brought his car for us to go to a friend of his's place. Being a family man is not always great, pff! We took a long ride there with all the jokes cracked and catching ups. Night rides and a special place to hang out - made our day! We had a great time there, the one was very special. We got up early in the morning and headed back to Velachery and continued to play some cricket. The time between after match and lunch was the relaxing - we just slept, coz we had a lot of time to talk the other night than to sleep! Vignesh had arranged a very special lunch at his home and invited us all there. Shyam, once again, had an early morning shift and joined us directly for the lunch.
It was a great lunch - Thanks Vignesh! We were at Vignesh's home for about an hour after the lunch and the time that we spent there was awesome! Vignesh's 7 month old son was so cute! For some reason, he kept on staring at me (well, he didn't smile at me, but something on my face felt so curious for him!!)! While Shyam's new toy that he brought for Vignesh's son kept him busy, we again had some nice talks and the evening time once again, went on cricket. We missed all our fellow scorpions today! When Rajesh, not a fellow Scorpion, but a mutual friend (err... our room mate in Pune) for us joined us after the match, I felt like I was back in Pune in my room!
The time that we spent together was magic and we have plans for some more like this!
