Welcome to a brand new year fellow RRCCians. Lest I post this note while the
year slips into the second month of 2013 and stop being as new anymore, I
thought I might as well cover something off this week and tick the “frickkin
rrcc blog update” off my to-maybe-possibly-damn-do list. I don’t want you
to falsely start thinking that this is going to be one goodie goodie blog-post.
Please be assured that rest of this post will be mindless rambling much like the
earlier ones dishing out stuff with fake concerns and affection, much in the
same intellectual league as the Big Boss series (don’t you dare smirk this off…I
know everyone of you in RRCC is a major Big Boss fan).
Congratulations to all the still-existing RRCCians who’ve survived about a
half year of madness. Kudos to their strong spirit for not having freaked out at
Sachien’s cyber-stalking activities, which includes for instance sending stern
reminders to non-FB-active RRCC members by showing them a log off all the tweets
and FB posts they were involved in while claiming to be too busy to post into
the RRCC page once in a while. No, before you jump to conclusions, Aman Singh
genuinely posted a “miss you RRCC post” all by himself and apparently he wasn’t
drinking either in doing that nor was he forced to do so by Sachien.
By the time we ended the year 2012, RRCC had already witnessed a lot of
events..some for good, some for better, some for no goddamn reason. The concrete
surfaced Harmony Square gave way to an as-uneven-as-dinda’s-run-up Rivervale
Oval which was eventually upgraded to a matted pitch where even Venkatesh Prasad
could have bowled a lethal bouncer that did rear up until the batsman’s
crotch. A 10 member start-up that was RRCC at one stage, grew
steadily into 20 , 30 and before you realised there are now 80 odd RRCC members.
A 14-a-side game on Saturday was no longer a myth but slowly began to be a norm,
even during the monsoon savaged month of December. Harshvardhan Rao was no
longer the sole bidder of no-show business, in fact a variety of contenders came
up until eventually Nipun Sharma stamped his authority strongly on it and even
this we know will change once Lokesh Singh is given more opportunities to not
show-up or say a Suhel Pallan who’s already looking a great contender.
But all the same we also do know that some things will continue to be the
same in 2013. For instance, Rahul Dube has been part of the RRCC squad for
longer than Cheteshwar Pujara has been in the Indian ODI squad. But still both
have played the same number of games for their respective teams. Just that we
know Rahul has paid and procured a team jersey while Pujara we feel might have
been short-changed by the tight-fisted BCCI (unless someone can post a pic of
Pujara in Indian ODI jersey). We also know exactly that Sachien will continue to
show up in jerseys with different names like Nishant, Neev, Rudra, Marco etc
just to test out which Jersey would give him that much needed change in fortune
with batting. If rumours are to be believed he’s got a collection of 50 such
jersys and lets not get into the discussion of who pays for it. Harry we know
will still be as blonde as he was and Himanshu will still keep detesting waxing
his back-of-the-neck mane just as Dev P will refuse to use a lingo that
doesn’t have to be represented using an infinite number of characters such
as “@#$@#$!@$!$!@$!@$!@$!@$!@#%#$^%&%^&^*%^*&(*&^%$#”,
when translated for subtitles in accordance with Singaporean-censor board
guidelines on open usage of unparliamentary words. Maddy & Dev P, will
continue to believe the “BTW” stands for “In Between” when colloquially
speaking. Vijesh Kukreja will continue with post-now-delete-later
activities on FB and keep sharing youtube links on crappy 90s songs until he
runs out of them in the year 2050 by when Kothai Manickam would have quite
possibly finished growing his moustache completely, but still waiting for Rahul
Dube to make a debut appearance. And lastly but not leastly this blog will
continue to maintain it’s cheap quality, stark with humour deficiencies
and linguistic levels only better than Rakhi Sawant…but with blogger following
as massive as Debasis Mohanty fan-club, it’s quite unlikely anyone is going to
be complaining. (Sigh!.Sob!!)
In short – A lot has happened and there’s a lot more to happen. With that in
mind, not sharing one bit the same enthusiasm that Munaf Patel has for
fielding, let us all look forward with gusto for what’s in store for 2013@RRCC.
Might a be a tad late to say Happy New Year, but still well in time to wish
us all “Gong Ci Fa Cai”. Stay cheerful RRCC.
Cheers & Kind Regards,
