Contra , Mario , Me . My mom and My Dad

Ahhhh.. It took me a long time to write my next one.. nevertheless better late than never :P :P
Here i go abt my craze for video games !!!
Those where the days when i was in 3rd-4th standard in Ram Krishna Mission Vidya Mandir, Katihar..
Just outside my house there used to be a pay phone by name "Gopal Pay Phone" In a small corner he used to keep a Small black and white tv and with that a set up ready to connect those cassette Video games. The people who used to come to make calls, used to see us playing the games and stand in the queue for playing next,, and the ppl who used to come to play games, would end up making few calls also.. So ho gaya na Double Business.
And i was one among the champs of that small adda.. One who could clear all stages of contra and mario :) :) [Collar up :P :P] U can imagine how regular a customer i was ??
Anyway so here is a  day of my life in katihar Which i will never ever forget .NEVER. It was a weekday and there was a function in my school late evening. So there were no classes that day, matlab full too chutti [I could play games full day and evening go to school and collect some prizes.]
Yes i was intelligent then [for those who are wondering what prizes will this guy get :P :P]. I was supposed to get 4 prizes that day. A couple of them  for a speech and debate competition , one for English Recitation and one for Scoring 3rd rank in 2nd standard final exams. So that day i was like a dude at home telling my mom, that i am gonna get 4 awards today, and this and that,,, full show off :) and that she will be called on stage too ..
My mom says, dudelisten.. Ayamma [Servant] has not come  today. So u gotta help me out in many works so that we can finish the work by lunch time, and then sleep for a coulple of hours and then go to attend the annual function. I was like OOKKKK done dana done done ..and then LEFT HOME walking leisurely ..

Scene 1 - I went to that video game shop, as i had 2 bucks change in my pocket, Played for some 20 odd mins, beat everyone ther in the shop and came back home only to find my furious mom looking after me here and there. On being asked where was i all this while i said the truth, got a bit of scoldings but then things were alright !!
Mom went to kitchen, found out that there was no oil. She gave me 50 bucks and asked me to go buy a litre oil. i bought it.. It costed me 48 rs..
Scene 2 - "2 RS CHANGE LEFT"  While coming back from the shop i couldnt control myself and entered the PAY PHONE again.
So here i was at it again, half an hour to get  oil from the the shop ryt outside my house. Nevertheless a few slaps, a few mins of scoldings and curses came my way :P :P [Ab toh Aadat padh chuki thee]

 Lunch prepared !! mumma went to take bath !! beta went again to play game . This time i had no money, I was watching others play and giving directions how to clear stages..
Scene 3 - 20 mins passed by I looked up suddenly only to find my MOM standing ryt beside me in that PAY PHONE.She started belting me ryt there and chased me till home 200-300 metres (Crossed the road while getting belted only :P :P)
Mom's hand turned RED, My face Same to same :P :P
Any way !! she asked me to take bath and get ready !!
Lunch time :- [Those days we didnt have fridge at home.] We used to keep Curd and milk and all that in my cousin's house[Next building]. Mom asked me to  go and get it before she puts the food in the plate. I enter my coucin's room , take the curd from their fridge and see that my cousin was playing Baseball game.
[My cousin had got a very serious back operation done, he was on bed rest so his dad got him video game to pass his time-1st in entire colony]
Scene 4 -
My BRO- dude Can u beat me at baseball.
Me- dude, dont challenge me !! i am a pro
MY BRO- ahh gimme a break . common mate, beat me and show.
Me- dude take out the second remote, i will show u ur worth today.
*Puts curd aside*
7-10 mins later Phatttt *ON MY FACE* *ON MY BACK* *ON MY BUMS* and dunno where all i got belted by mom..
We reached my house !! By now Dad had come home for lunch . Mom vomits out everything to him, Ryt frm Scene 1 , 2 ,3,4.. All this while when narration was gng on i was sitting on the floor with a puppy face :(..
Dad heard the story and didnt utter a word and went out..
I looked up.. saw him gng and i was like YESSSSS.. bach gaya [I am saved]
Probably he is in a good mood..
10 mins later, he returns and starts closing all the doors of the room. behind his shirt he hid a long thick BETH [Stick..] and THAT WAS IT !!
For the first time ever [and the only time i can recall] i got beaten up by my DAD..
I started shouting at the peak of my voice, My grand ma and Grand Pa are watching me from the windows and shouting at my dad, to leave me and all that..
Aahh it pained big time..
Loads of drama, then lunch together and then School annual function and then Prizes.. And then Smiles all around.
Day was over.. Ooops NIGHTmare was over PHEW !!!!

Days passed by .. Dad went to patna for a business trip for a week !!
after 10 odd days a normal evening,
Scene 5-
DAD comes home. We all are sitting and chit chatting and watching CHITRAHAAR on DD1.. DAD says , beta there is a cover on top of the almirah in the other room..Just go and get it !!
HUGEEE it was.. 1 m long, half a metre wide.. Wrapped up in that brown paper..
I got it to dad.. He's like open it..I di.. guess what was there in it..
FAWKKKKKK.. VIDEO GAME !!! SEXYYYYYY it was..
That too KEYBOARD + REMOTE wala !!! 1st of its kind in my colony..
I was like DADDDDDDDDDDD whats this..
OH MY GAAADDDDD !!!! I could not believe it at all.. Slept that nyt with that huge box lying beside me..
My happiness knew no limits.. No more pay phone.. no more cousin's house for games.. Ryt from the very next day it was a Parlour at my own place..hahahahahha
