This is a third person view of the situation, and has been scripted in a narrative format. Once again, the whole situation is sketched as seen by the author of the story. If you disagree with the author on any thing, please feel free to comment and let the world know the truth. What follows is a brief description of the events that took place a few weeks before ramzan and a few days after the post-failure-picnic-CS-fiasco.
Linking back to the post on September 2, 2007.
Absolutely unexpectedly, GecKo’s petition was heard this time and more than one ppl for the first time ever agreed tht the location for gaming should be shifted to a new place. So a hunt-team was setup to look for the new home for the pack of CS fanatics. The team comprised of, the leader ofcourse the issuer of the petition, GecKo, GhostRider and Hashmi.
GecKo was extremely pleased with his effort and was excited about exploring new places apart from Scorpionzz. Ghost was just slightly interested whereas, Hashmi was more interested in getting his mobile sold out. But GecKo appreciated their positive attitude and enthusiasm with which they accepted GecKo’s proposal. The two game zones in the nearby locality were the ones at Neepa and one near kala-board (the fake one =P).
Luck was perhaps not with GecKo and the gang or it was with Ali bhai (Scorpionz owner), because when the trio reached the spot the area was sunk into darkness (no not that some evil lord had took over…it was the tyrant KESC that uses its absolute power on the electricity of Karachi to shut it down at the time we need it most). Anyways GecKo and Hashmi went together to the said place (NEEPA) and gave a MISSED-CALL to Ghost as planned. Then during the time that Ghost took to join us Hashmi went about trying to sell his ever-so-precious set. But as I said luck was not with them that day, and Hashmi couldn’t sell the mobile phone. Ghost joined them and after a little wait (for the electricity to resume – Hashmi still trying to get rid of the mobile) they all went into the Game Zone to inquire about the place.
The place looked ok and had two thin-long rooms in front of the entrance. The team realized that they were the match rooms in which the matches were played. The two rooms were located on the right hand side and on the left was the entire hall covered with snooker tables. Now I realize that if they had chosen that place as their new home the CS nights would surely had gone into trouble because few of the players in the squad have this habit of ruining others day by doing the OTHER thing (in this case playing snooker, you know those few…Abis I would love to name here…he would have definitely gone for the snooker and hitman wud have definitely followed..ooppss!! did I say too much? =D). But due to the unavailability of the most major asset required then, the electricity, this trip was useless. The team asked bout the rates, they were not VERY different but were a little here and there of wat the guys were paying now.
Sooooooo…after one failed trip to the place the search-team decided to hit the other place and give it a chance. The other place was again not very hard to find and after a little of-the-course driving the team was set on the right track (thanks to the guy-who-couldn’t-sell-his-mobile-that day). The ‘trio’ reached the place and were not very impressed by it, it looked ordinary and small. Anyways they asked their way in and when they stepped in, their jaws dropped to the floor in awe (that was the best and well-chilled GZ I had seen…besides Volcano on Gulberg). With the working ACs and the comfortable airplane styled seats the GZ gave a sleek look and looked comfortable and homely. Perhaps the team had found a new home atlast. GecKo in particular couldn’t keep his expressions at ease…he was too excited…he felt “now atlast…I can show the others how well I can play without the latency and unavailability of proper gear issues“ (he meant business then…with a wicked smile on his face…unaware of the fate to come over him in the next few days). The trio asked about the prices there and went on their way feeling happy and excited about their effort.
