This Is My Cricket-Related Post

World Cup, 2011

30-03-11, Tuesday

India-Pakistan (semi final)

03-04-11, Saturday

India- Sri Lanka (final)

So I had a tri-colour patch on my face all afternoon.

So I bought a food+drinks+hookah combo to watch the match on a Big Screen Projector.

So I danced to the 'dhol', each time India scored four runs.

So I 'discussed' the first innings with some friends and some not-friends.

So I was hugely disappointed by India's performance.

So I felt a lump in my throat because Pakistan had only 260runs to chase.

So I obediently went out of the room when it was established that each time I entered, Pakistan scored.

So I smiled for a little more than few seconds when We Won :D

And I'm not really a cricket-person.

Life and its many ironies.

Summer afternoons are gloomy on most days. 

Then there are those days, like today, when you sit in air conditioned surroundings to cheer for a team you only half believe in, for a sport you only half understand.
I think it's the feeling of a country being one.
OR just sudden pangs of wanting to conform.

That'd be all.
