Andi kali { cashew nuts game a]. This game is usually played by boys.5 or 6 will participate at a time. It is a a game with simple rules. The advantage is that in the end the winner gets lot of cashew nuts which can be sold and the amount is usually used to buy candies or roasted pea nuts very rarely books or a pencil.
We collected cashew nuts from the trees. The fruits will be eaten and the juice if smeared on our dress will leave marks which can invite the fury of the mother . Because the mark can not be removed in those days as there was no chemical available.
This game is played at noon after lunch. A fairly big hole is dug in the ground..A line is drawn on the ground at a distance normally a hop and step. Equal no. of nuts are collected from each. There will be a fairly big nut with each one used a striker. This nut is known "Wala" . One by one throw the wala on to the hole from the line. The priority of playing will be decided according to the distance the wala was lying from the hole. The nearest gets the first chance.A certain no. of nuts is collected from members according to the stock available with each.
The first player throws the nuts to the hole. Some nuts will fall in the hole others scattered out side. If the no. of nuts inside the hole is in multiples of two, he loses the chance to proceed, other wise a particular nut lying far away will be shown and he has to hit it with the wala.If manage to hit he owns those nuts fallen inside the hole, other wise the next player in the priority will repeat the game This will go on till all the nuts are taken.
That requires skill and accuracy.. Here also quarrels are common,but we are friends next second and will go in search of another frolic.
