The Truant Tales

Expect nothing. And I'll live upto it.

Look out for the Mafia

Two days ago, while playing cricket, I tripped over and hit my jaw against the hard tar. From then on my teeth have been paining.

The two nights after that, I've been dreaming about getting abducted by the 'dentists mafia'. Is that normal? or am I just an anti-dentite?

This is completely normal behaviour.

Except for the bit about playing cricket.

bigsmile ....In India, playing cricket on the road with no regard whatsoever to traffic is pretty normal.

That also explains why 'dentistry' is a booming business here.

When I was a kid we played cricket in the road with no regard to traffic, but at the time the road outside our place was a wide mud track down which any vehicle that dared venture could never exceed around two mph.

We all felt that was pretty safe.

But the surface wasn't particularly conducive to the making of a high run count...

We play in a busy cross road. So there's always interruptions.

And we're surrounded by loads of cranky neighbours who would whisk away the ball the moment it lands in their property. The moment that happens, the batsman is out. Due to this and a million other rules, the scores are never double digit, and the matches last only 15 minutes or so.

Something I could never understand. We used to play single-ended cricket, so we always chalked the stumps onto our garden wall.

The opposite direction was open fields. Why didn't we stick up twig stumps that no one could deny hitting on that side of the road instead of constantly bouncing balls off our front room windows?

Come to think of it. idea Why didn't we just play two-way cricket in the open fields?

I guess 'Better late than never' wouldn't apply for this case.

We play one sided cricket too. But thats out of no choice. A stone suffices as the bowler side stumps.
