Cricket is our religion and Sachin is our God.

Yes, here cricket is a religion. Though it was disasterous performance in World Cup, our team still has some juice left. New generation's 20-20 cricket where only 20 overs are bowled is on its peak because of 20-20 world cup. And when it comes to cricket, it doesn't matter which caste or religion you belong to, it doesn't matter how much money you have got in your bank account, all that matters is SCORE!!!!!

Well, who the hell cares about world-cup, for us victory against Pakistan is our world-cup. And the picture below shows that only. This is a coffee outlet outside my office building where there is big flat screen TV (I wish I had one at my home) and those in my office just like me, who usually don't see sunset are there to see the score. The time I took the picture, match was topping its suspense and crowd was building up. We did won this match but I missed that fanfare and sweets at my home. As soon as we win a crucial match against Pakistan, whole place is out of there homes barring those who don't like cricket. And then sweets are distributed, trumpets, fireworks and what not; they dont celebrate even my Birthday like this!!!!



If I don't mention Sachin here, this post would be a waste. He is world's best batsman, started playing 18 years back when he was only 18 years old. Unfortunately, he will retire soon and I know lot of us will miss his cricket. HE IS THE BEST. He has won us so many matches single-handedly. Ok, that's enough of praise, nobody is going to gift me ferari for this!!!!
