Desi Fun(da) ... and more.
Well two weeks of thrilling action coinciding with the Turin Winter Olympic Games came to a soft ending on March 1st here at IEC. We had the MICO sports grounds to ourselves to finish off all the outdoor sport finals and it turned out to be a great day to have fun and basically sweat it out, be our competitive selves. Many of my team mates turned up, especially since we intended to kick some ass in basketball, only to be denied in a thrilling loss right in the semifinals under the blazing sun.
It was an awesome day and for the first time I could see the really competitive and not so competitive side of people out there. Got to know some more faces in Sun and that was good too. But as I say there is just one winner at the end of the day, all the people following them are just the losers. So well it wasn't as eventful as I would have liked but hey I aint michael jordan or lebron james you know;)
But the real bummer was the dismal turnout. According to the organizers, and there were 50+ organizers/volunteers, there were nearly 600 participants in all the games. I guess their script didn't do a SELECT UNIQUE * from PARTICIPANTS | wc -l (those duke fanatics!!). It looked asif there were some 100 people who participated in all the sports. Well what was even stinkier was the fact that though transportation was provided people didn't bother to turn up and cheer their pals out there. For all of those who did not come, FYI procrastination is good sometimes to get your mind in tune.
Anyways we had a wonderful time. We got trained in the art of not being winners in nearly all the games. But Alok and myself managed to win the Foozeball trophy. Joe Triviani and Chandler Bing deserve all the credit! (also Ramesh and Joseph from our QB days)
