Software A beats Software B by 7 wickets!

Dr. GB Stadium, KG Gardens – May 28, 2005:

In the scorching summer heat, it was the clash of the tech geeks, with Software A taking on their colleagues Software B. Software B, in coffee brown tees, won the toss and elected to bat. The match started with an overwhelming number of extras and one could hear the crowd betting with each other on how many extras would be bowled in an over. The fall of wickets was steady, but S/W B never had to worry, because the run rate was always up thanks to some generous extras. They ended their innings with 76 runs with everyone raring to take a few glasses of water.

The situation was not very different with Software B also flaking in the sun by bowling too many extras. At one point, S/W A had more runs in their kitty as extras than actual runs. The climate soon changed sour, with rain looming large in the skies. One could see that S/W A was rushing in to finish their innings and took a well-paid gamble. They hit hard and soon after the drinks break, the match was over with S/W A winning the match by 7 wickets.

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
