PEN FIGHTING- A FAVOURITE PASS TIME

HEY BUDDIES,

ITS BACK TO THE OLD DAYS IN SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AGAIN… AN OLD GAME WE USED TO PLAY TO SPEND OUR TIME… WHEREVER THERE WAS A TABLE (BATTLEFIELD), EVERYBODY HAD THEIR PENS (WEAPONS) READY TO PLAY THE COMBAT… “PEN FIGHTING” :D :D :D… WHEREVER WE PEOPLE WERE, IT DOESN’T MATTER MUCH, AS THERE WAS AMPLE OF TIME FOR THE TEACHER TO COME, EVERYBODY WAS WILLING TO PLAY… AND IF THE TEACHER IS A GOOD ONE, WE COULD EVEN REQUEST HIM TO LET THE GAME COMPLETE… FUN, FROLIC WAS ALWAYS THERE WHILE PLAYING…

WELL, I GOT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS GAME WHEN I WAS IN CLASS-7, WHEN A BUNCH OF 12 YEAR OLD GUYS AND GIRLS HUNG OUT ON A TABLE TO PLAY THE GAME… OH GOD!!! THEN SCREAMING OF EVERYONE ON “WHY DID U THROW MY PEN OUT OF THE TABLE” :( … YEAH, OF COURSE, TO BE THE WINNER YOU HAVE TO REMAIN ON THE TABLE DEEFEATING ALL OTHER PENS THROWING OUT OF THE TABLE… STUPID YET INTERESTING AS IT KILLED THE TIME, AND FOUND DIFFERENT KINDS OF TECHNIQUES TO THROW A PEN OUT… WELL NEVERTHELESS, IT BECAME A FAVOURITE PASS TIME… WHEN I STARTED TO PLAY THIS GAME, I WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT MY PEN AS THE PENS WERE HITTED SO RUTHLESSLY SO THAT IT FLIES OF THE TABLE… WELL, I BROKE 2 OR 3 PENS IN THE PLAY TOO… BUT, I DIDN’T STOP PLAYING AS IT MADE ME EVEN MORE EAGER TO PLAY… SOMETIMES IT ALSO HAPPENED THAT WE USED TO PLAY THE GAME AT THE BACK OF THE BENCH TO AMUSE US, EVEN WHEN THERE WAS A TEACHER TEACHING IN FRONT OF US… WE DID GET CAUGHT OFTEN AND WERE PUNISHED TO KNEEL DOWN OUTSIDE THE CLASS… WELL WHOEVER KNOWS ABOUT THIS WOULD BE SMILING NOW!!! BUT SERIOUSLY, THOSE TIMES WERE QUITE GOOD AS THERE WAS AMPLE OF TIME AND COULDN’T FIND ANY PLAY TO KILL… BUT WHO KNOWS IT WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTING…

WHEN I WENT TO COLLEGE ALSO, I FOUND THAT THE CRAZE WAS STILL ON… OH GOD!!! I COULDN’T STOP MYSELF KEEPING MY WEAPON ON THE BATTLEFIELD!! :D :D… WELL, WE HAD QUITE INTERESTING GROUP OF PLAYERS, THE ONE WHO USED TO HAVE A PEN THAT ROTATES AT ALMOST THE SPEED OF A MOTOR, TWO GUYS WHO USED TO HAVE A 3 RUPEES PEN WHICH WAS LIGHTER THAN EVERY PENS WE HAD, THE ONE WHO CARRIED A PEN THAT ROTATED BUT WHEN IT HITTED, ACCORDING TO NEWTON’S THIRD LAW, IT GOT ITSELF OUT :D :D :D :D, WHEREAS THE PEN AGAIN RESTORED BACK THE SAME POSTION BEFORE IT WAS HITTED, WHILE I WAS HAVING A 5 RUPEES PEN, AS I HAD THE DISASTER OF MY PENS BREAKING ALL THE MOMENT… SO IT’S BETTER HAVE A MODERATE VALUED PEN FOR THIS COMBAT… SO THIS GROUP OF 6-7 GUYS USED TO HANG OUT FOR THE PLAY… WE HAD CLASS DURATION FROM MORNING 7 O’CLOCK TO AFTERNOON 1 O’CLOCK… EVEN IF THE COLLEGE BUSES WERE AVAILABLE AT 1 O’CLOCK, BUT ALWAYS STAYED UPTO 2 O’CLOCK TO BEGIN THE BATTLE… WE WERE SOMEWHAT WHAT WE CALLED A GROUP OF “EXPERIENCED PLAYERS” IN THIS CONTEXT :D :D :D… SO ANY OTHER PLAYER WHO WANTED TO COMPETE HAD TO GIVE A QUALIFICATION TEST BEFORE COMPETING WITH US :D :D :D… EVEN IF OUR CLASSES ENDED UP AT 12 O’CLOCK, WE USED TO HANG OUT FOR 2 HOURS EVEN… WE USED TO HAVE COMPETITION LIKE ONE-ON-ONE, TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP OR A FATAL FOUR-WAY :D :D :D… LIKEWISE, WE ALSO DEFINED STRATEGIES TO PLAY THE GAME… IF THE FIRST PLAYER OF A TEAM PLAYS A WRONG MOVE, THEN THE OTHER PLAYERS OF THEIR TEAM WOULD SAY, “GIVE THE BACK-UP TO THE PEN”, MEANS FORM A PROTECTION BEHIND THAT PEN SO THAT IT DOESN’T GET HITTED OUT… AS SAID EARLIER, WE ARE GROUP OF “EXPERIENCED” WE USED TO HAVE TACTICS TO HANDLE THIS… HIT IT WITH THE UTMOST POWER SO THAT EVERY PEN GOES OUT OF THE TABLE AND THE TEAM WINS… BUT THE HIGHEST SPINNING PEN WAS THE SUPERIOR OF ALL PENS… IF IN THE SPINNING CONDITION YOUR PENS GETS HITTED, IT’S A GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD GET OUT OF THE TABLE… WE HAD TERMS LIKE BYPASS, SUBMISSION ETC… WE WERE ALSO THAT ADDICTED THAT WE USED TO PLAY PEN FIGHTS DURING THE INTERNAL EXAMS OF THE 1^ST YEAR, WHERE WE PLAYED BEFORE 15 MINUTES FOR THE EXAM TO MAKE US REFRESHED…

THIS WAS A REAL MEMORABLE ONE… MEMORABLE FOR MANY ALSO… IT ALWAYS MAKES ME LAUGH ALL THE TIME REMEMBERING IT… JUST WANT TO SAY MY FRIENDS THAT WE HAVE SHARED A GOOD MOMENT TOGETHER, AND GIVEN ME THE BEST TIMES EVEN IT WAS A PEN FIGHT MATCH…
