Years ago, in the last year of the FIRST batch at RECW, we used to play
aDDu in a hostel room nearby, whenever there is a free hour.

Once we were doing that, with two decks, and eight players! (turufu ceppina
vALLa mukka always prevails, over the same card from the other party). It
was drizzling. Soon it was time to go to the next class. Power Systems by
yetirAjulu. Most of our class of 11 were there in the game. We decided to
cut the class and go on with the game. The next day yetirAjulu asked us
what happened. When he was told that we were there playing aDDu, he said he
would have joined if he knew!

Many times we played with six or eight people, alternate persons belonging
to one team. It was difficult to keep track of cards discarded. But it was
fun.
