This Sunday, a few Pinstormers did what no other Pinstormer had ever done before. They took charge of their balls and showed the world that they can knock out a few pins in style.

The event was Pinbowl, a corporate bowling championship organized by DNA, held at the Club, Andheri. There were two teams from Pinstorm. Team 1 comprised of Chetan, Ujjwal, JK, Namita and Shazia, while Team 2 was made up of Claude, Vicky, Nachiket, Anjali and Chitra.

Barring a few practice (read experimental) sessions, none of the guys had any previous bowling experience (unless we count Namita’s Nintendo Wii sessions). Inspite of this, they fared quite well. It was a treat watching Claude spinning the ball (miles away from the pins), Namita counting to three every time before throwing the ball (remember Goli from Lagaan?), a supposedly drunk Vicky slipping and falling all over the floor (drunk on one pint), JKs sharp focus (on the chicks around) and Ujjwal’s commitment (in sourcing a beer from the crowded counter).

It was a fun filled day enjoyed by everyone. And in the end, being placed a decent 11th out of 35 teams, that too without any previous bowling experience was not bad at all. All in all it was an awesome experience and we’ll be holding on to our balls till the next one comes around.
