Though this be madness,
Yet there is some method in it !
We are mad that we care about the game so passionately.
We are mad that we will be present this Sunday at 7 AM, MG Science College Ground.
Fighting summer heat and early morning sleep on a lazy Sunday morning, yeah this is crazy.
But we are like this only. Channel Volleyball.
Before the world, there was chaos. Before the final, there is chaos in the group matches.
No one is sure which Philosophers and Scientists will qualify to the semi-finals.
While the Scientists are already in a group of death, the Philosophers will do whatever they can to bury the opponents.
To unravel the mystery, to watch the creation of history, be there this Sunday.
Get mad this weekend ! Get even with your opponent team.
The madness continues this weekend.
More photos and videos and polls uploaded. Look out for the posts in this blog.

The Leap of the Tiger
I mentioned earlier that Saurabh bhai showed so much enthusiasm and agility that it was treat to watch him play.
Watch the clip below and see for yourself what I mean.
He may lost the point but he won the admiration of many a people.
Such is beauty of game. It makes you go right there on the ground and give your best.

Z to A in two games
Team Zeno displayed their A game over the weekend to clinch both the matches. The first one was easy win, but the second one tested our team spirit and also hunger to win.
In the exciting second match against Socrates the shouting captain kept reminding the team to stay focused. The team responded by giving 200% for the each point. Gaurav was safest and coolest player of the team. Even though Dhruvesh was playing for the first time, he played exceedingly well. Tarang won few crucial points in the second set, and Vinit served continuously well and kept the momentum going. In between Sanjay kept hitting cross court shots with ease. The first set was lost but it did not shake our confidence, we kept growing stronger and stronger and at the end we won.
The matches were played with very healthy spirit, though high on emotions, at the end every one enjoyed the weekend games.

Day 3 - The quest continues !
This is where the actual fun begins. Archimedes had lost to Copernicus. They had to win today to be in contention. So was the case with Socrates. Having lost to Plato, it was do or die situation for them.
Our satta bazaar could not predict which side the volleyball will fall. 50 - 50 chances for Zeno and Socrates. And Archimedes might just upset Galileo, the bazaar said.
The day began with the battle of Archimedes and Galileo. Galileo did not have their captain Hemal and it cost them dearly. Archimedes rose to the occasion and yes, they did get their Eureka ! moment to win comfortably with 15 - 6, 15 - 8.
The second big match of the day was between Socrates and Zeno. In Socrates, it was return of the Maaru Chhu man, Vishal Jaani. But if there was any doubt that yesterday's win of Zenoids was any fluke, it was all buried deep down in that court. A grueling battle that last over an hour and spanned over three sets saw that Zeno are at the top of the Philosophers with two win. Pop philosophy, anyone ?
Zenoids played like true champions and came back after losing the first set to win 10-15, 15 - 11, 15 - 10.
With so many upsets and victories, the championship is wide wide open. Who will make it to the last four, the quest continues !

Day 2 - The Juggernaut rolls
This was a beginning of a "long" weekend and Saturday, true to its promise, delivered two thrilling matches.
The poll result or our satta bazaar showed that it was going to be keenly fought contest.
Both the philosophers had good chance of winning with Zeno having an edge. While between scientists, it was any body's game.
Zeno, the paradoxical puzzler, won comfortably against Aristotle. The final score was 15 -4, 15 - 7. The captain of Zenoids (this word is our creation !) Harshal views his opinions over here.
In the other match, Galileons and Pythagoreans (hehe, these ones too are our creation) fought with vigour in the first set which the Pythagoreans won 15 - 11. In the second set, Galileons could not put a fight to lose to Pythagoreans eventually 15 - 11, 15 - 5.
Saurabh bhai proved that the rest of us are bachhas in front of him. Amazing display of agility and finesse.
