SKELETAL JOY (1)....

Lets wind the clock back a few years.Final year at school. And we had a new reason to reach school those days...'Pen fighting'....almost half the class were bonkers over it...few even used to play it behind the back of the teachers....Apart from free time the lion part of the play took place at our very own 'library periods'. The celebrations, the bickerings the shouts were reason enough for the principal to BAN us from the library. It turned out to be a blessin in disguise..As soon as the bell rang all of us would make a beeline for the Conference Hall(the new 'STADIUM' beside the Library)...Inside the library the noise were not that frequent thanks to Laser uncle( wasnt it??? )and the librarian of course......but conference hall was our kingdom....

Talkin about pen fighting...It was real fun. Any number of people can play it (2 or more ).PENalties were nice.....The pens were really important..stronger ones would fare well coz you can knock out the opponent pens from the table in a single deadly shot.

One fine day Kripaharan G , (a legendary pen fighter ;)--every one of us were, for that matter) came to school with something that worried others... He had in his pocket..a rocket pen..his Dad had received as a compliment from ISRO...it was kinda unbeatable and soon it was banned from the competition :)...another fine day Philip Mathew came with an even stronger pen...it had the head of a skeleton at its tip.....It was so strong and heavy that if an opponent pen came and hit it; the opponent pen would fly out of the table ..while his pen wouldnt move an inch.....but there was no need for BANning this one. Why???/......
