Rummy:An Episode

It was saturday!!,after a round of window shopping ,bird watching and junk food munching i was lying on the sofa watching tv,after an exhaustive week at office (:p)i was finally in my zone. Saturdays are never complete without a game of rummy,especially if my grand parents come home ,then rummy is always on the cards!(pun intended :D),so after swimming through sambar,rasam and curd it was time for some action.Players ready and raring to go!!(read previous blog for detailed description of each player),first to deal was my perriappa..i just love his skill on the cards..he just wields it like a magician wields his wand!!..in his hands the cards look like they are alive , listening to every command from their master..falling out one at a time in succession.The first game was bad for me..my cards were so bad that one look at them and i called scoot!!.. periamma won that game,it looked like it was one of those days when joker's would play hide an seek with u and forming a rummy would be as easy as finding a needle in a haysatck!!..round after round my loses were mounting and round after round i was loosing interest!!!.Cards can really get on ur nerves some times..u would have so many chances..but u would never get the right card..and there would be days in which u would have only one chance for a rummy and the right card would just come and sit in ur hand..just like as if it was destined too!!!.So as u can see it was turning out to be a frustrating day until the champion of champions came to the rescue.It was the last round..and i was lying flat on the ground!!! too much loss (this condition is popularly known as 'body press' in my famiy) just when it looked so boring..my grandfather lightened up the evening..usually when the pros are not playing,they would look at the cards of other players and would try and help them out..my perriappa was looking at my grandfathers cards and had identfied that he had all the 13 cards set and had won the game..but my grandfather couldnt recognise this and took almost a good part of 10 mins to declare..it was so funny listening to the comments flying all around..fortunately i could video some of it..but u have to understand tamil to get the hang of it..enjoy!!
