We miss you a lot sweetheart

Since I left the college, there has been a small group of KRECians who have kept in touch by meeting every (almost) weekend to play football. Initially, it was either cricket or football, but then some time afterwords, it had decisively tilted towards football only.
It really makes me happy to see that that group is still so much enthued about getting its weekly dose of football every week which leads us to the essence of this blog.

Background:
The last few weeks have been hectic for me in terms of balancing office with PGSEM because of which I have not been able to join this group for football. What happens next is amazing! An email chain starts off with a trickle of random pjs and digs at others to commence to this humongous email by our beloved Hooda (didn't know till now that he like writing so much so much :D)...I give you all, THE email of the week (if not the month):


Hi Folks,
It was a nice sunny day on Sunday, 27th of July, 2009 AD (after death of Christ) and early in the morning was looking so fine. Glittering reflection of the sun, when it touches the Dew Drop, the sweet chirping of the birds in the bushes, singing for the unknown mate who’s flying somewhere far in some other place. The very first shock in the morning (as generally I’m not habitual to clocks), and with rolling here and there on the bed for few minutes I finally opened the eyes in the frustration, why someone has put the clock in my room. My remorse suddenly withered away with remembering the football meet in Jeevan Beema Nagar ground, which everyone affirmed in the eMail.
In slight mood of happiness with the blinking of the eyes I glanced at the clock which was slowly passing the 6:00. I put the clock on hold and started my standard procedure with the nature’s call. Just it happens every time that nothing goes as smooth one thinks of in life, I misplaced my jersey somewhere and knickers also ain’t dry. I was trying pretty hard to remember but I lowered down my enthusiasm and replaced jersey with the normal T shirt. Putting iron on the sim, dried the knickers and started searching for the pair of socks which our beloved Baba (piyush Kaushal) gifted me. I still remember the day when he presented the pair of shoes and socks and how with the valuable gift he smartly contrived me to be part of the celebration called Soccer meet. I did feel like being dragged to the ground due to some conspiracy but lately realized the wonderful phenomenon of the affable meet, the chuckling of the college mates and the warmth in the first meet. Are they smirking or laughing at me coz I was novice, I really don’t know, but I enjoyed every bit of it (even Sarcasm).
Anyways, getting back to the track, I remember those moments when I was searching for the socks but for this case also I had to go for the change (to normal socks). I thought, now everything is gonna be fine, like a log flowing in the river but I realized that my contact lens solution is finished. I try using water and putting those lenses in the eyes and rushed to the ground, reaching where I can’t find any similar faces. I suddenly looked at the date in my cell phone to make sure, if it’s not April fool and after confirming called Baba to confirm if we’re playing today. Baba half asleep nodded which ofcourse I can’t see through the phone, then I asked him again the same bloody question, and he in his feeble voice (due to sleep) said yes and I asked him to accompany me as I’m alone in the ground and he told me to wait as Marathali folks would be reaching the ground in 10 mins.
Guys, I have waited for trains in India (which always gets delayed), the DTC(delhi trasporation corporation) buses which never reached the bus stop on time specified in the table, but this wait was different, as I was in the excited but, bubbling with exuberance and waiting made the time move so slow. I remembered the relativity theory of Einstein that the Time is also not constant (well that’s the only thing I knew about relativity theory :P) and in that situation I was feeling so much in state of affirmation to the greatest scientist of last century (It doesn’t mean we’re on same plain though :P).
So in order to relax my nerves I took the lime juice and by that time I saw the group of junkies were coming with their apparels on and I knew for sure they’re Krecians.
With automatic response from the pituitary gland I recalled everyone I met on first day of assembly and suddenly realized that we’re not missing much in number but total view. So I thought C’mmon what’s the meaning of the view, if there’s only 1 guy less in the team, but guys it was a substantial difference, I was really thinking in a single glance that our team size has been dwindled in half. As the time passes by, we all realized a big difference in the overall team but the reason was not apparent to everyone of us. It wasn’t due to numbers, not certainly due to quantity and we all somehow over the span of time realized the funda leanred in college, Qualitative and Quantitative analysis. Guys I was so poor in all this sort of analysis, but subconsciously college prepared me for the big differences (anyways I couldn’t notice the small ones, even until now). All time during the play, we’re missing something, something really important, really mandatory, without which everything around us seemed in bits and pieces rather in wholeness. I remember the great philosopher who said the individual sum is always less than the whole sum and again it was a moment of truth for me.
As we all are engineers, so for the sake of the group let’s represent the same thing mathematically,
Classic mathematics,
• A+B+C+D+E = F (final result), only for quantitative methodology, but this doesn’t have any weightage as generally we count total 11 players in usual match (like Indian voting system, every person is equal. So eqn becomes 1+1+1+1+1 = total no of players)
• Now, in modern mathematics k1 A + k2B + k3C + k4D…. = F (final result)
So, considering all the payers which generally plays (0.1)1 + (0.1)1 +(0.1)1+(0.1)1 +(0.1)1 + (0.5)1 = 1 (the total result) or ultimate team. So the biggest point here is this that all the players get the weightage of “0.1” except 1 with the weight = 0.5 (so guys any guesses who’s this guy)
• Moreover, in reality, k1A + k2B + k3C + k4D…. < F (final result) – {yeah individual sum is always less than the whole sum – example all the desktop PC parts combined together will be the Sum of all the parts plus the function it carries called computer system). So any one guy specifically with the weightage (0.5) misses the game make the huge difference in the overall result (coz it’s not DVD player we’re missing, or woofer, but guys we’re missing the CPU and how can any PC work without that) So we kinda feel the same deplorable condition the financial world is going through for last 6 months (well in our case 6 weeks). Anyways, we miss our dude and hey without you calling the game is not even game man (Like Chinese movie playing in Bangalore theater and that too without the visuals) Well enough for today guys. Have Fun, but with the loaded gun (Sid – the bullet, C’mmon load our gun)


Phew, I wonder how much time would it have taken to write that email :)
