ok.....so i have lived up to see India win the ICC World Cup. yeh dil tho certainly maange more now. if it was kapils devils way back in 1983, now its Dhoni's Dashers in 2011. the excitement is just so immense in the air. that last six which Dhoni hit, was hit straight int our hearts....n then, oila, it blew it away, dint it....one second, i could not believe my eyes....but it was a dream come true. memories of 2003 when we were literally grounded by the aussies and later when we crashed out in 07 is all history now.....unwanted, to be forgotten history. but when history repeated after a whole 28 years, it certainly did in a MAJESTIC way. gritty young chaps, with a super young heart sachin did it for us again. these youngsters are heroes of not just this cricket frenzy nation but they went on to display some truly heavy emotional capabilities while they were playing. under pressure,the chase was indeed like lil drops making the mighty ocean.seemingly coming easy, the flight towards the end by dhoni, was just sizzling. yesterday i just wrote about the excitement that i was in, i am totally immersed now, only to be carried on to the IPLs. But the world cup is a totally different ball game altogether and its massive. well done TEAM INDIA. this was certainly a well deserved one!

Cricketing excitement ....i am bowled!
Its great to be once again pulled into by this wonderfully stupid game. The game which has given us demi gods, which has given us stars, so that we can not just look at them an be amused, but also follow their path, wherever they seem to be leading us to. I used to think that post college and the short working life that i had, i would get over this addiction. yes, it was, an addiction. To be glued to the TV every single time a match was 'ON'. It did not matter whether it was a 50 over one, or a 20 over truce! if there was a cricket game , i would be there.
Now that i am nearing my exam time, this was the most apt occasion for the world cup to happen. Really. Two more months to go, before i fire my guns all over, the Indian cricket team would have exhausted theirs! A world cup and an IPL following it, there is lot in the baggy for a cricket lover this summer:)
Cricket is truly becoming that game that transcends barriers, isn't it? good to see the teams playing that my best friend calls me up the next day only to narrate how she managed to get her way with the TV screens turned towards her, as she has a collar on! Poor her, but she seemed all happy for that inconvenience turned a blessing. she was dancing all the way. we all had done that, in this country. Dancing to the tunes of our wishes turning out to be true. i hope we can get crazy, if the cup lands in Dhonis hands. I am sure, it would be a well fought one!
That I am Back Again!
Long Long time ago!
I used to write frequently in this space
then came a time
when i drifted away
now is the time, the right one
to start again
the times of writing, of musing
of wondering what would amuse others!
not that i found out how,
but i seem to be interested more now.
thats all, and thats it.
only to say, that i am back again!
