Cricket match

"Why did you move?" AW screamed. "Why the hell did you move? See India lost a wicket".

The poor data entry operator had nothing to say. Poor fellow probably got up to answer nature's call & forgot that AW had ordered everyone to stay still! A Cricket match was on, & India was chasing a huge target. Few overs left & many runs yet to be scored. We were watching the match in office!!! It was required since we had to publish scores on our website. Ours was a dotcom, based on Cricket contests. AW was the founder, owner, MD & CEO of the company. His passion for Cricket was very well known & evident with the amount of money he had invested into the dotcom.

"Quickly, now you go out. Just go out" AW was shouting now.

RD, the poor data entry operator, rushed out.

"Sudi, you do the scoring, pleeeeease" AW was back to his normal tone.

Sudi, a senior graphics designer-cum-programmer, shifted to RD's seat.

The game continued & got even more tense in the last over, when India had to score 10+ runs.

Just before the last over started, AW got up & placed his Mont Blanc's cap just next to the small TV!!!

"Thankfully Shastri is not on the commentary now" AW remarked. It reminded me, he once quoted that India hardly ever won a close match while Ravi Shatri was on the commentary.

Game progressed & reached the last ball when India had to score 2 runs. But our small office seemed to be more tensed than the Indian cricketers' pavilion.

The last delivery: India scored a boundary & won the match!!!

AW screamed "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" & got up, went closer to the TV, lifted it from the front, & kissed it!!

He then turned around & left the room with a beaming smile. We all felt a bit relieved. Not just by India's tense victory, but also to see him go.
 AW returned couple of minutes later, to collect the pen cap. He then mentioned "This time the pen itself did the trick. Else I would have had to stand on a single leg!!!!" & left the room.

Good morning
