PS outrun OS in Cricket
By Hari Singh (OS85)
On a bright sunny morning of the 28th of March 2010, the OS arrived at the haloed grounds of their Alma mater to play cricket against the young ones residing here. Most of the team comprised of parents who were keen sports persons during their tenure in Sanawar and were happy to be back to play a good game against the PS. Bringing back many a fond memory. The match started on an upbeat tone with Ashima Bath who was sitting in the sidelines requesting Sangram Singh to be gentle with the students. A constant source of amusement that distracted the spectators was the gentle sight of the OS President falling asleep while the wickets fell. Bets were being placed as to whether he would fall off the bench or not. We were convinced that he had an inbuilt radar that woke him up just before he keeled over. Thank you Jerry for being such a good sport. We applaud thy sleep.
Coming back to actual match in play, Sangram was amazing as usual. no matter how much Ashima threatened him, it had no effect. He was sheer poetry. All this while Amarinder Aulakh(Gags) was offering camouflaged red bulls to the OS in the true spirit of distraction at work. A very ‘sunny’ Aman Bir went on to bat but alas the gods were not smiling and it was a short-lived stint at the wickets but still his jumbo smile was firmly in place. Hari Singh did everything in a hurry and clobbered the PS quite a bit. Himmat Sekhon confronted the ball as though it were a new strain of Tibetan Mastiffs to be bred…woof we say! Surely it helped that his son was cheering him from the stands. The evergreen Harbir Rommana also made an appearance at the match and was given a big round of applause.We need more matches like these to keep the school spirit soaring. Its very important for us to continuously raise the Sanawar flag and keep the morale of our Sanawarian community high. What better way to bond than over a good game? Never mind the fact that one can get to meet the students at school time. Oh I did forget to mention that the PS thrashed the OS, any defeat is a thrashing. Get it together OS and no partying the night before! Cheers to many more matches!
