Poker Fever ..!!
Back in August 2008.. Its 10 pm in the night .. and I haven't yet decided which movie I should watch... then came the Guru Nitin muddana with his Mac Laptop and said "bava.. neeko manchi movie choopisthaa ..!! ". I was excited to know what that movie was.. and kept my lappy aside and joined him. But to my dissapointment, it was Casino Royale movie !! I said no wayyy.. Im not gonna watch this boring movie... bcoz I don't know how Poker is played which is the main entertainment in the movie. Then Nitin gave me some gyaan. He opened the Texas holdem Poker rules page and explained me the game.. and then I watched the movie.. This time I liked the movie very much.. From then I started playing Poker.. Added the application in facebook too and started playing it online daily.. for atleast one hour.. Its such an addictive game that I used to skip some important things bcoz of this game. Finally I had to remove that application from my profile.
Next week I went to Puchu's room where our enthued Junta stay.. It was saturday night. Unfortunately Nitin muddana also came along with me. Any guesses what happened next ? yess.. Guru started "bava meeko keka game nerpisthaa ... Poker ..!!! ".. then came our Giri saying "naaku thelsu raa !! theen patta lekka untadhi adhey kadhaa.... !! ". Finally nitin convinced them that its not the game they are thinking and taught them how to play poker... guys started playing poker that saturday night.. 2 hours happy.. then started struggle... Raj kumar ( The Mancherial James Bond) entered the game.. and looted all our money... we all bought in again.. and played second round. Now, its Raghu Rajan's turn to become the Bond. Likewise , the game continued till 7 am and the result is.. we slept till 4 pm on sunday :D :D. Right from that weekend, we are playing poker without fail. In the mean while our Sridhar Bhosale came up with a new concept called encouraging the opponent (rechchagottadam).. If anyone wins.. he says" mama.. nenu vaanni baaga rechchagotti raise cheyinchina.. naaku commission kaavale.. " And Sirish.. invented new techniques to steal chips from the table and other persons bank..
The twist in the tale is.. One fine morning, on the way to the office, my roomies (nitin muddana and Sandeep Gummadi) saw an ad in Mumbai Mirror about the sale of Poker chips for just Rs.2000/- and that excited our Guruji Nitin and he borrowed a one rupee coin from the auto waala and called me up and asked me to order those chips. I ordered those chips on the same day.. and finally we got our poker chips after a week.. They are nicely packed in an aluminium case (reku dabba).. and it was looking so Royal.. there were no limits for our excitement.. inka asalu aagale.. yentane.. photolu digi facebook la upload jeshnam.. Sandy, who was not paying any attention to the game till then, also learnt the game and started playing it. The next week we went to the guys room with this chips case in hand.. and guys were also excited to see them.. Our Giri came saying "arey.. baaga feel vasthundhi raa !! ". We started playing that night too.. but with new excitement.. and Raghu rajan became bond twice.. and the story continues....................
