College Chronicles .... Part -- 2

Returned to new campus after holidays. It was business as usual after few days of roaming around the campus and surroundings. Started playing cricket on top of our building in the evenings. It was a lot of fun and a novel experience as well trying to play in a controlled manner. Fun carried on for few days. Like all good things this had to end . On one fateful evening , our campus in charge caught us playing . Were given a lengthy lecture as usual and bats were taken away from us. Sun slowly was getting into his groove . This meant exams were round the corner. In the place where we had our food in  campus , there were  few lemon trees. On a  fine night , during one of our breaks from study , one thought popped out of no where . Why not play cricket for  relaxation !!!! We had tube lights on the roof  .. So no problem of bad light . Next bat and ball. We being aspiring engineers , and just in college , there was no dearth of innovative ideas. After due discussion , we zeroed in on writing pad and lemons. Two of us were off to bring lemons. Brought enough of them from tree. This was awesome. We had lots of fun , enjoyment ... Of course cricket is incomplete without controversies and arguments irrespective of where it is played .. Had plenty of these as well ... Continued playing even during the exams. I can't comment on the effect it had on our marks .. They were quite good .. Could have been better .. But who cared about 11th class marks ... Our goals were higher .. Lemon cricket became part of our daily schedule .. It  came  to an end when we had to shift our base again ..
