A whole lot of sand. 30 guys. A lot of adrenaline.
Ok, maybe we are hyping up our football game a bit too much, but MAN was it one major battle....!!!
Undeterred by the presence of some prickly bushes, the brave souls made every effort to get ball past goalie. Our game of part karate-kungfu kick demonstration, part 20 meter dash races and part kabaddi-cum-wrestling did not produce many goals, but it sure did raise up a lot of desert dust and get some flabby-boys lots of exercise!!! not to mention lots of scraped feet! :)
 
yes the above was the scene from our second BBQ event at Mushrif park. Learning from last time's BBQ :) Qasim arrive early and qabza-o-fied a BBQ spot complete with shade!  Having assembled at around 11:00 we quickly started a game of uphill-downhill football on a patch of desert sand and prickly bushes - the best place available near our BBQ spot. after what was probably one of the most memorable football games we would ever play in YCP, we all headed for juma prayers at the Mushrif park mosque.
 
Post namaz started the same ol BBQ ka maza. Lighting the fire - which as always proved very interesting to most!!! While the cooking continued - lead by Nouman - the boys had a couple of games of penalty shootout and volleyball. Meanwhile Zeeshan and Sami went over to get the Biryani from the Association - might i add at this point there were some very hungry ppl amongst us. :)
 
Biryani came. BBQ got complete and we got down to business! FOOOOODDD! And did it all taste awesome! Lasani made some great Biryani and Nouman's supplied chicken was zabardast! much better than our last attempt at a BBQ!!!! :)
 
Post food someone had the bright idea of playing cricket using the narrow footpath as a pitch. there was the usual anti-cricket protests from qasim and talha, but the game went ahead anyway! Undeterred a game of badminton started amongst the non-cricket playing folks :).
 
We broke for Asr after which it was time to take leave. We were all EXhausTeD but it was worth every body ache! Can't wait for the next BBQ!!!!
 
Oh we managed to forget the camera this time too. however Abdul Rehman did get a couple of snaps with his mobile cam.
