THE GOAL AND GOALKEEPER

SCENE I : I remember around one year back during the Durga pooja vacation, I was showing my friends the pictures of kgp. Scrolling through the "My Pictures" folder her picture popped up most unexpectedly, pouring sweet old memories from the past. It took me a second to come back to reality and realise that this picture was not supposed to be shown and I quickly scrolled forward.

SCENE II: The same day evening we were roaming around in civic center (bhilai) , when one of my dear friend caught a moment and asked me about the picture. I told her the whole story with a smile on my face all through the narration.

In the end she says: "Chau ... m also a girl !! and let me tell you my personal experience..... YOU CAN SCORE A GOAL EVEN WITH THE GOAL KEEPER STANDING "

I inquired : " YEAH .... BUT CAN U CHANGE THE GOAL KEEPER??"

SHE says: "possibly....if u keep on scoring goal...the manager might change the goalkeeper...or the goalkeeper might give up himself"

SCENE III: four of us(sethi,sanki,chitku and me) were sitting face to face in the digital EC lab, busy with our irregular, senseless, hillarious BHAAT. All of a sudden chitku stares at me and says : " yaar... YAAD A RHI HAI"

I SAID: "let me pass on a funda to you.... YOU CAN SCORE A GOAL EVEN WITH THE GOAL KEEPER STANDING"

and then there was a few moments of silence in the honour of the big statement... I could see the spark in chitku's eyes :P . Then we decided..." lets play the game atleast...we may not win...but lets try first ... we will push each others tempo (both being too lazy for such events)... god knows one of us my win"

SCENE IV: 2 weeks later, we were again at the back bench of Soft Computing class, while professor Sudhir was teaching some properties of genetic algorithms (which we were ofcourse not listening to) . We were evaluating our performance in the game .. counting the goals we scored (none)... disheartened ...disappointed...realizing that we dont even know who the goal keeper is ... what are his strengths and weaknesses ...how do we beat him !!.

Somehow, even god wasn't happy to see sadness on otherwise cheerful faces....so .... all of a sudden this comes up as a concluding statement to the topic prof was teaching

Prof: " SO, if u cannot change the goal keeper ...change the goal"

We looked at each other ... and laughed... and laughed so loud that the guy who was sleeping behind us woke up with a shock :P

Now comes the question that why is this in my blog after 1 whole year...well...we were in the lab today when sanki pings on gtalk saying
" yaar woh kya tha goal changing goalkeeper wala funda kya tha?"

and looking back into the past one year i realized that a few of my good friends have knowingly/unknowingly used her FUNDA and it has worked out for them ... they did score even with the goalkeeper standing..... being thousand of KM's away on a training... or being close enough to be called next door neighbors.... and CHANGED THE GOALKEEPER!!

PS: To chitku if he reads this : "WHAT SAY ?? " :D
