When Eventful is an understatement..

What do I do when a handful of amature Indian and International tennis players meet at My College, to play for $10,000? First I volunteer to help and after the first day of event, I get my left knee rolled, and I leave the next day with a cast from my left thigh to the left ankle. Not exactly what I had in mind for the study holidays, but I actually ended up studying. Here's how i got rolled: I had been doing a lot of running around for the college during the build up to the event; I ended up catching a really bad cold ( The Headaches came free wid it); A lot of stuff had been going on in the hostel then which involved late nights; I was recovering from a back problem etc. On top of all that I skipped breakfast on the day. So there I was walking around doing my volunteer business when MBA people ask me to help them get the court ready 'cuz Vasu (the guy in charge of maintaining the court) had gone for his cup of Chaya and with him his entire team of "Experts" ("Coolikar"). So that meant we had to clean the court and get it rolled. I helped them with the roller. There were four of us pulling the shaft. The sun was'nt really "Merciful". After a couple of laps, I blacked out. Before I hit the floor however, I came around and did a somersault and tried to roll out of the rollers way. My left knee however was'nt really very lucky. And thats how I got my cast. I'm not sure Ill play again. Exams are on their way. One almost down, three more to go.
