Nostalgia

By: Gabriela Yareliz

It is official- I am having serious cricket withdrawals. I have quit freaking out about assignments and failed group projects. As I look around the library I see people in complete exhaustion sleeping on textbooks in defeat. Sad story. End of the semester- 3 weeks to duke it out.

I am not sad about graduation seeing that after this I have 3 more years to study my heart out. No nostalgia there.

Possible antidotes for cricket nostalgia (?):

1] Be with the people you miss; could backfire and make you more nostalgic-kidding

2] Red Mango’s Spoonable Strawberry Banana Smoothie; it can cure anything

3] Playing cricket; I would probably get my head blown off… Harshul and Dilip can attest for my sad athletic ability

4] Watch the “3 Idiots”

I love you cricket team! And I miss you more than you know-

So to complete the nostalgia… I am sharing these clips (they’ll give you a good laugh). It’s a movie I associate with the guys on the team because they are just as amazing!

(Chatur’s speech, where Rancho switches some words around, and ‘The Silencer’ doesn’t speak Hindi well enough to know so he memorizes the crazy speech and recites it-subtitles when you click cc– I love his facial expressions and passion)

(Free Advice-Rancho’s free advice to Pia)

(Just like he imagined her- I love this scene)

“Rancho was right when he said ‘Pursue excellence, and success (Chateur) will follow, pants down!'”- (wink)

Have an awesome day!
