Yesterday I enjoyed a cricket match played between India and Pakistan. It was a semi-final match and a knockout match. India won the match and step forward to 2011’s Word-Cup final. Now final is between India and Srilanka, which is on 2 April 2011.
I saw the match in hostel. On our floor all room students contributed Rs.100/per 3 students from 1 room. We rented a TV and a connection for semi-final and for final. There was a complete rush of students on third floor. All the students were fully energetic and cheering for India. Claps on every boundary/six and number of bad words can be heard. There was a great unity in that crowd and complete madness for victory.
Worse thing was that there were 1-2 students whose stomach was filled with strong acidic gases and they use to blast a lot of bombs in tensed cricket situation, again lot of bad words can be heard. Then someone arrange a perfume/room-freshner, so whenever a bomb blast a perfume was sprayed in air in front of the air-cooler.
After every wicket of opponent team, student use to stand and start dancing madly. I will always remember this match. There are a lot of small things which I have not mention in this post.
Anyways, India is now in WC-2011’s final and my best wishes are with Indian Cricket Team.
Love.
