Catch That Lost The Match Of Life


Table Top was their favourite place. The Sunday morning dose of friendly match between two houses was a must for boys from Vidya Vardhini Boarding School. Nikhil and Chinappa, otherwise the best friends ever, fought like the adversaries on the field.

One Sunday changed everything forever. The match was about to be tied. It was the last ball of the match. Nikhil was at crease and Chinappa at the bowling end. Blowing fire, Chinnapa delivered a Yorker. Nikhil, quick on his feet, hit it for six. 

Chinappa shouted, “Mohan catch it.”

Mohan had his eye on the ball just like everyone. He started inching back. And before anyone could realise, he slid off the cliff… 
                    ...Never to be traced alive.


Nikhil and Chinappa, visit the Table Top, hand in hand, to pay tribute every year on the same day. 

         It was the catch that lost the match of life.

      AS a fiction, I had the liberty to end it on the positive or negative note. Had it been positive, the tale would have lost the essence. So decided to end on sad note. But in real life, I wish, both Nikhil and Chinappa could have rescued Mohan!
