The Epic Blog of Sarthak Goyal

2.30AM

I had just gone for sleep. Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up. "Hello, Sarthak. We are in great trouble, need your help urgently."

Few hours earlier.

My friend, Manhar's family were out of station and he was all alone at home. He was just killing time, trying to study for his semester exams. There entered the Bhutani (another of my friend), to accompany Manhar in his loneliness. They spend some time together and then Manhar committed the first mistake of the night. He asked Bhutani to stay at his place for the night. And this was just the beginning of things to follow.

11:00PM

Bhutani felt the need of some food to feed his ever-growing stomach. Manhar's stomach was also growling. With Bhutani's bike standing downstairs, they locked the house and moved out. This was apparently their second mistake of the night, but they will realize it only after their return.

01:00AM

After satisfying their appetite, Bhutani and Manhar came back. A big surprise was waiting for them. On the door, they realized that THEY HAVE LOST THE KEY OF THE HOUSE! And without it they can't enter in the house.

So, there they were standing helplessly outside their house, glaring each other's face at 1AM in the night, with hearts in their mouth. "Where could the keys have gone???", they were wondering. But the more important question was, "What to do now?!!"

Frantically, they decided to get back to the road and try to search for the keys. And yes, that was their third mistake of the night. Searching for a small key on a road was never a wise decision, but they didn't realize it could be that worse.

At a speed of around 10km, thrice they went to and fro on the 4km stretch hoping for their luck to shine but that wasn't going to be the case that night.  In-fact, in the middle of their third try, BIKE's GEAR CHAIN BROKE OFF.

Now not only they were without shelter, but without transport also. Plus they had to carry the bike also. Luckily, Manhar and Bhutani had their communication devices!

2:30AM

I had just gone for sleep. Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up. "Hello, Sarthak. We are in great trouble, need your help urgently." I got a bit worried. But then they explained me everything and I, being their true friend, would have loved to see them spending night on footpath, but then the class 3rd quote of 'A friend in need is a friend in deed' struck my mind and I invited them to my place.

I woke up and informed my mother and made arrangements for their stay.

3:00AM

Pushing their bikes for about a km, they reached my place at around 3am. Manhar and Bhutani were visibly startle of what has happened with them. The thought of lost keys, stranded bike and, most importantly, of their parents reaction were still giving them jitters. But for the next half an hour or so, the three of us were only LAUGHING!

At around 3:30AM we three went to sleep and the tragic night ends.

The upcoming morning

While I was still sleeping, Manhar and Bhutani woke up and left my home at around 7AM. They tried to find out any locksmith but none was available so early in the market. They went to the market for breakfast, but shops were still closed. So they randomly decided to enter the jogger's park and complete the 1km lap (I am glad they still had so much energy left with them). After completing the lap, they laid themselves on the grass for next half an hour.

After which they moved on and took the number of a locksmith and called him. He promised to reach the house in 15mins, but after repeated calls reached there in 1.5hrs. The neighbors offered them some lunch and in the meanwhile the locksmith completed his work. They could enter their home once again!

After the night, Manhar has decided not to repeat the mistakes again and to keep a distance from Bhutani. While Bhutani, he is still busy in getting his bike repaired!

(@My friends: You keep on doing such incidents and I will keep writing blog on them.)

Do comment. Thanks.

Despite loosing all their three super 8 matches, for me India is still the T20 champ. Actually every player had some "genuine" reasons for not being able to perform. I have listed the problems of some of them below:

Virender Sehwag: Unfortunately he got injured. A ball hit his head and two of his hairs were damaged. So he has to leave west indies for hair transplant.

Gautum Gambhir: Gauti-veera bhai bhai. He couldn't have betrayed veeru by performing in his absence. That's called real love..err.rr..friendship.

Yuvraj Singh: haven't u seen his stomach? He is pregnant, dude!

Suresh Raina: His contract has clear mention: "No Short Balls". It's not his fault if bowlers breached the contract.

Yusuf Pathan: He himself doesn't know why is he in the team.

Rohit Sharma: He didn't want to get away from the title, "POTENTIALLY a great batsman" by exploiting his potential.

MSD: He didn't want mumbaikars to again face the traffic jams as they had to after 2007 win. (He is so caring!)

Praveen Kumar: Bappi da was again donating one of his chain. So he had to go there to collect it. (He already has 7 of his chains!)

Harbhajan Singh: Revenge! from MSD for the IPL final.

Zaheer Khan: Actually he was in a big dilemma about what to wear at the nigh party. Now tell me whats more important, cricket or party?? of course party na!

Ravinder Jadega: undoubtedly the man of the tournament. BCCI threw him out of the IPL, and he single-handedly had the team India being thrown out from T20 tournament.

Piyush Chawla: He wanted the selectors to know, what the whole world already knows, that Ojha and Mishra are far than him. Thats why he deliberately bowled bad, so that selectors don't repeat their mistake.

Dinesh Karthik: He was still wondering what his call to Murli Karthik has to do movie with the movie,  Karthik calling Karthik.

Ashish Nehra: Look at his face! First give him some food and then ask him to play. You can't play a malnutrition person in the team.

Murli Vijay: He was still praying for yellow jersey to hargeez wins, not realizing its blue! All his prayers went waste!

Vinay Kumar: Ya, a player of such name was there in the team and even played a match !

Umesh Yadav: He went there, enjoyed the parties and came back. He wasn't even bothered to carry drinks, coz none of the batsman stayed that long on the crease.

And the biggest reason of their failure: Cheerleaders were not hot!
