Suspension for Passion

Cricket WorldCup '96 - 1st match: NZ v/s Eng at Ahmedabad. Me and some guys from school (9th std.) had planned out to watch it live (my first time)... Got tickets 250/- each. Gracefully went to the principal with a leave application with genuine reason. Princi poured water on our hopes... :-( He said that education is important than entertainment. Had it been India's match, then he would have given a second thought to it. We argued and told him that tickets have been bought. But Education again won, this time over Money.

Came out and thought about it, Do we really think so... do we care !! Naaaah... the match was ok, but experience was awesome !! But what to do the next day ?? Dad comes in handy in such situations. Doc's certificate that "Keyur Gor was not fit to attend school for two days".. So other day was a deliberate rest day... But others had gone to the school and had been caught by the Princi and were kept out of the class whole day... they were kind enough to let Princi know that I had been there for the match too... Ball was in my court... what to do... again, do i care. !! Naaah... went to Princi next (3rd) day indicating that i had went to see the match 1st day and was not well to come 2nd day... he was so understanding, that without any fuss... he handed me the suspension letter and said : 'You are suspeded for two days. Come with your father the third day'. Gr8... can watch 2 more matches !! (not live of course)... went to school on 3rd day with dad, and was gracefully taken back into the class ;-)
