A big pain on the grASS and with the clASS

Refresh.......:-(.......Refresh........:-(...... That's what I've been doin' right from 9am and this damn page can't show anything other than "England tour of India
1st ODI: India v England at Rajkot, Nov 14, 2008" + "England wins the toss and chose to field"..

Amma calls me up as she does daily, and tells me what to do, what to cook and what to eat. I keep saying my usual Seri(Okay-->In tamil)..
All this Cricinfo stuff because my office doesn't subscribe to Neo Sports. I am sad and so are ma counterparts.
We keep flipping through channels and then, Live Cricket!! India v England. Damn!! We never thought DD(Doordarshan) would air it. Happy that we don't have to press F5 to keep refreshing the page, half immersed in the match, we literally forget that we're done for the day. Sehwag smashes 2 consecutive balls o'er the fence. 39 to 51 in just 2 balls?? cOoL..
Karo Zyaada kaa Iraadaa is the ad, Aviva life Insurance. Damn, these advertisements are a pain on the TV glASS.
Running to to ground zero, I board my cab. Hyderabadi Traffic!! One should drive on these wide roads to perfect all the skills of driving. A car from the left and a bike from the right and the cab driver switches to his abusive mode.
Here's where I switch to my Sony Walkman mode :-P. I let the cab driver vent his anger and I have my earphones plugged deep into ma ears, volume at its highest. Saab uthiye aapkaa ghar aagayaa, and I wake up startled. Sign the sheet and open the door. I find my brother here and my first question is "Bunked school ehh??" and he replies in his arrogant self " A big pain in the clASS", it's Children's Day.
I give a glance at the fuse box and find that there's no power!! :-(
Sleep time....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
