In a stunning coup d'etat, dissident units of RRCC chose to branch off and start a league of their own. The unexpected coup happened as the gap widened between the two classes of RRCCians and the N+2 well-versed upper echelons started imposing discriminatory practices against those not so N+2 educated a.k.a the lesser mortals. Sensing the rise of the rage and discontent Captain Sajan engineered this bloodless coup in an attempt to take immediate control. The captain who encountered sour instances with the larger than life organiser of RRCC, made his displeasure known about people who did not help him and instead scuttled for dictatorship. The captain in cricket fatigues read out from his prepared notes:
" In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful; oh, great people, the battle will continue. The great one had chosen me to lead the battle. In the name of God, he who ignored me then, will worship me now. He who argued with me then, will wag his tail for me now. He who accused me of posting silly suggestions, will like and share everything I post now. I still remember how I craved bowling 5 overs or a second batting chance, but what was merely requested then, shall be forcefully grabbed now. I hereby issue this fatwa"
The startling news left many a RRCCians spellbound. Rama though was little amused “I salute the man’s sportsmanshit spirit” is all he had to say though, in his usual non-chalant diplomatic style. NKK however showed a more thoughtful stance.. “it’s all good as long as we are conducting ourselves well as friends and neighbours. There are certain rules within which you conduct yourselves, some are good conductors and some are semi-conductors ;)” Intrigued by that comment when we tried looking into the ninja dictionary for the exact meaning and prevalence of the word conductor, the result was baffling. We were spellbound to say the least. This is what the ninja dictionary said:
Con·duc·tor/kənˈdəktər/
Noun: A person who conducts, A person in charge of a train, streetcar, or other public conveyance, who collects fares and sells tickets.
Himanshu seemed a bit more nerve wrecked than most at the outcome of it all. He didn’t know which wing to go with, heart said something and mind said something else entirely…a similar state that Anant Found himself in. “In my circle of friends i.e Dravid, Kumble, Srinath..we never had any such issues to face..especially Dravid and I we got along well, given we belonged to the same class during our engineering days”, said a tense Anant. Maddy was very selective with the words he used for his comments and all he said was “who cares. The one who gives me bowling is the one that gets my loyalty OR may be not or may be. Kuch bhi. I can bowl well so if you allow me to bowl and encourage my strategic full-toss deliveries, you get my vote” and he went back to morphing images from social media sites and forwarding it to people around. VK was at his flaky best and all he had to say was “I wanted to say something, which in my mind I did say; but deleted it off now. So all I can offer is a recommendation of a totally unrelated youtube link” and promptly he shared some youtube links on shady songs from the blockbuster hit movie “Sajan” of the golden literature&arts era that was the 90’s (Nadeem Shravan, Anu Malik, Vomit, puke and faint). The Mumbai gang of Jitu,Rane and Shingte said this in chorus when asked for their points of view on this whole affair: “As Sainiks at heart we don’t mind a bit of clash. We thrive on these aggressions and busting these rebel outfits comes to us as naturally as overacting comes to Kareena Kapoor..But we are just worried that we might end up digging the wrong pitch unless there is clarity in advance on which team plays where”
Sachien was visibly upset on many counts but he had this grave allegation that Sajan stooped to really low levels of humanity by posting this on one of the social media forums in a bid to advertise RPL.
“RPL: We are just a group of people looking to get together and have little fun, recreation, chit chat etc”
It was beyond us and we couldn’t comprehend what offence this innocuous posting would cause to Sachien or RRCC for that matter. At which instance Sachien swiftly took a printed our version of that posting with a marker/highlighter and walked us through the coded hatred message that lay within, something that mere mortals would never see:
“RPL: We are just a GrOup of people looking TO get togetHEr and have LittLe fun, RecReation, Chit Chat etc”…all of a sudden we saw what seemed weird but admittedly clever too. Reading between the lines was taken to another level altogether by Sachien, even surpassing that wise American called George Bush Jr. Once he pointed this out there was not a single line of comeback that could be offered. We just STFUed and ended the conversation , suffixing it with a politely worded threat which is an American expression popularly known in Singapore as ‘beep’ on TV and discouraged the conversation from going any further.
