Be Bant Da Cup

Hello Folks!
Seems like everyone's busy with there works, studies and so on, So am I. I don't do any of these but I still don't get time from playing cricket, parties and so.

Just Came from a wedding party and it wasn't the best one. First of all, how am I suppose to do bhangra on Gidha or a romantic song???? Secondly, there was no pepsi at all!!!! My Turban was good though, and just in case someone didn't liked it, it was a new one...:P. I don't tie it all the time, but when I do, I feel proud if it. Also, I just like it how people react when they see me after a long time.

Well that was about the party, talking about cricket now. I have got off to a great start here in Canada, Hasn't been the best of the starts for the team as we have had 4 games and 2 of them have already been washed out having won the other 2 comfortably.

The last game was  a great one for me as I got useful hands in all the departments. The best part of it was the bowling where I took 3 wickets in 7 overs, all of them coming in 6 balls and all of them were bowled, what was even more amazing was that all 3 of them pitched on middle and leg and went on to hit the top of off stump. I still have the picture in my mind, it was a great feeling. Also, took a splendid catch while fielding at the second slip. It was a leading edge of a spinner's bowl which was travelling very low to my left.

So far, we look like the team to beat in our division and hopefully we will win this division. Lehgo Lions!!!!

You can check the rest of the stats of this link: http://www.bcmcl.org/index.jsp?form=matchrev&r=matchrev&game_number=104&season_id=2013REG

Meanwhile, Mom, Dad and brother are back, which means that I can enjoy more on the field without caring about my clothes and injuries. Hoorayyyyy!

Reporting from Canada

I'm kinda so excited to write this post that I've been planning it for the last week or so but that lazy part of me stops me from doing it when I think about writing 2-300 words out of nothing.

Well First of all my flight wasn't as bad as I was expecting it. It was very boring but I wasn't tired enough to feel like jumping off the plane or not to wake up for 2-3 days, probably because I was excited about the new place but for a moment  I was shocked when I landed and I saw the freakin 1990s airport with same model cars moving around the runway and all. I was like am I in Canada or in Somalia?

Talking about now, I'm having quite a great time here, got a lot of great new friends all thanks to Priyanka (Why my auto correct shows it paprika??)...:P and a few of them of my type as they can understand my double meaning talks. It was tough in the first week when I was totally messed up with locations and I was trying to change from my lifestyle in Dubai to a new lifestyle here in Canada (Especially adapting to the weather) But its all good now just apart from University.

The best thing about this place is that I feel like being in Developed Punjab. Almost half of the population is of Punjabis and I guess the second language is Punjabi too! Sounds surprising but it is! And the best thing is to watch old people sit in the park and play "Seep" (card game) in groups.

So all I've been doing here is trying few new things like playing tennis, trying to adapt to woody stuff (wooden houses, they are very noisy), to adapt to the accent and to drive a lot around the city and to drive slow(most difficult part). Oh and I go to University too! once a week and that too I've a class with Priyanka and Deepika  its the English (Hogayi padhayi) you can expect the rest with me being the way I was in TCS. Sunir lal was better than this teacher though. I miss him for the fights we use have.

Some of my friends have Bhangra in the University tomorrow and I'm not in it! but I'm still so excited about it. Excited to see them do it in pairs with "Female partner" and I'm like CRAP! I should have been here much more earlier..:D

Well I haven't been to many places around here so I can't differentiate much between this place and Dubai but to what I feel I think this place has a great weather apart from the fact that it rains around 9 months (Reminds me of a poem. remember?) a year and its much greener here, Apart from that I don't feel anything special about Canada and also when I tell people that I'm from Dubai and I tell them the facts about Dubai they are basically stunned for a moment or two and at first they can't believe it.

And yea I've found a few cricket clubs too and might contract with one of the clubs next season. Already excited about that.

Last but not the least I love Dubai!

Hello bloggers!!!

Hola amigos...
Nice to see myself back!
So finally we are free, Exams are over, today was the last and the most awaited exam of the year "Maths",well it didn't lead up to its name as it was very easier then expected,
Was a long gap between my last post and this one,forgot the concept of writing as well...:P
So, as we are free and school is over its time for relaxation, enjoyment, rest at least for a week before we all go to our native states in India for further education and some for holidays, some might still stay here....:(
All the exams were cool, although had many distractions throughout, the biggest one was the cricket world cup with such awaited and interesting matches it was never easy to concentrate and with all of us being hardcore fans of cricket, but somehow managed to skip some hours for studies and did well in exams....:D
Time for some enjoyment now, so planning to roam around and visit some interesting places and capture some moments before we all get separated.....
Gonna miss all those hours spent with my friends,teachers and class and books too although not much...:P...:(
