Why are you so ugly?


Swalloops!

"Why are you so ugly?
I was 15 years.  Moved from RV High School to Columba's high School.  Because RV High School was closed since it has to become as Government Arts College where I came back to study Pre University Course.
St.Columbas School was famous for Hockey and Foot ball and not for Cricket where my heart was.  The neighbouring St.Joseph's school was famous for Cricket.  I was playing cricket for private small cricket clubs.
There was an invitation from a cricket club through my class mate Chandrasekar to play for them.  The opponent team was kind of professional team full of St.Josephs students.  Our captain was also from St.Josephs.  Shaffiulla khan.  Stong, fair skinned and light brown eyed big boy.  Known for hard hitting the cricket ball.  But on this day, he didnt play well.  Our team could post a nominal score as target.  But I was big success with bowling. I use bowl fast.  I had this shoulder which generates good speed.  I captured 8 wickets out of 10.
And Shaffiullah team was winner.  I could see he was very pleased.  He invited me to play for his team regularly and he said that they have matches every sunday in this lake grounds except when there is water in the lake.  At the end, he asked me with sincere face, "Why are you so ugly?"  I was dazed.  No words cameout.  I didnt realise i was ugly perhaps. It wan eye opener.  I didnt play again for this team.  I never went to this area.  This question was lingering in my ears until breakining point.

After breaking-point, this statement has no value with me.
