Call it a day .. or The Day!!. It was maniacal fun !!!

Arun, Me and Abhilash , started off from my place around noon. Joined the rest of the gang and after a 10km journey reached Paintball Arena. After a quick round of intro into the safety instructions we split into two teams of 11 players each – The RED Team and The GREY Team.

I have to be honest. Me and Arun had our doubts on Kaashif. He has played Counter-Strike with us and he is infamous for his friendly fires. Well we took our chances and included him too in our team.

9 guys and 2 girls in our team. We let the girls guard the base and shoot anyone who dared to come close. They also did the recon work.

Round 1, was in our favor. Me and Arun, paired up and we were able to sneak up on the other team from behind. On the way we took out two opponents each. After that just shoot’em from behind and enjoy the kill. But joy didn’t last long, i got hit on the shoulder and has to leave. But we WON!!.

The fun part was that. Kaashif and Abhilash had paired up. But once the match started they both went their own ways.

Round 2, they beat us. I didn’t had much of a choice and was shot on the hand.

Round 3 – To everyone’s surprise, Kaashif lead a suicide attack. He just charged into the otherside. They were just left confused and we took advantage of that.

Every one was exhausted after this round. I faced the grim reality that i had far less stamina than i had thought about. Running, crouching and jumping up again had proved too much for me. The afternoon heat was unbearable. After each round all of us would just crowd near the water dispenser.

Round 4 – i will remember this very clearly – two head shots .. wow what a feeling. That was short lived when i realized that i had run out of bullets and had to withdraw.

By Round 5, we were all exhausted and once we advanced and ducked behind a sandbag we just stayed there. Legs were too heavy to be taken around . That was it. The opposition just advanced and we were sitting ducks.

We lost 3-2

Phew … what a day .. all exhausted and not even a bit of energy left in anyone. Hungry to the bones we headed out to the nearby dhaba. Ate our hearts out.

After that it was long tiring journey home.

Enjoyed every bit of it …

Heading to the same place next week too…
