The World Cup is ours!!

Wow!! I really can't believe we won the World Cup! I belong to a category where I don't know half of the cricketer's name...but now I do. To hike up the spirits I went and got jerseys and stuffed our fridges with edible snacks to keep the non-fans interested too :) But the fact is that I lost interest the moment Sachin was out. I so badly wanted him to score a century. But eventually became enthusiastic to watch it partly because we were doing pretty ok...and partly because of Chetan Bhagat's super funny tweets! I had a ball laughing at all of them especially the one where he tweeted about how Maggie should be endorsing Malinga since he endorses the product :D and also about all the kids going 'mummy bhook lagi hai' when they see his yellow highlights :). As much as I hate making sarcastic comments on people or laughing at any, this man, Chetan is just too funny to ignore. And he sort of does it in a harmless way. Another funny tweet was how easy it is to gift Sreesanth a birthday gift- a comb!!! Ok ok.. I guess I need to stick to the topic now... I was checking out Android apps (which are ultra-cool) and got back to watching the match after I heard a lot of yelling and hooting. Something right was happening and so I decided to watch it for the sake of cheering. This is also the only match my sister would have sat throughout... talk about patriotism! The ONLY event where you can they see the whole of India united.

On one end a friend was consoling saying the real match is over when Indian won with Pakistan and this is just a for-the-sake-of-it match. On the other end I heard another friend supporting Srilanka for Jayewardene’s undeterred attitude towards doing the right thing at the right time! There were some funny moments where an uncle claimed to have seen the world cup win in his dreams and was just watching the game to prove he's right! Amidst all this action, my heart went out to the game when I saw Gambhir doing exceptionally well. Few minutes before Gambhir got into form, my whole timeline were filled with tweets of abusive nature and wotnot. I hope all these abusive people realize that they are not perfect and how sometimes a little bit of motivation can really boost the players at such a tight situation! Save your energy abusers... it's not the time yet! Anyhow, Gambhir and Dhoni had this amazing vibe on the field and kudos to them for their intelligent batting strategy. There was a look on Sangakkara's face towards the ending where he knew there was no chance but fought it through with dignity. That look is the look of an undefeated hero. They must have settled for a tea cup but they will still remain heroes for putting up such a tough fight.

Yuvraj Singh !! Whatta man! Just couple of months back he was slammed for being out of form and for being a party animal who is a total womanizer. At that time I was also angry with most of these players who kept partying during IPL series where Sachin, on the other hand, was sleeping early to remain in form. I thought it was the end of this guy but the way he got back and shone right throughout the world cup series is impeccable! Now that is exactly what I call success. The best part of this whole game was that a legacy is coming to an end and is being taken forward by the next worthy opponents. To have Sachin out was planned by God only to show that the future is as bright and shining as ever. The youngsters took over this game beautifully making the winning moment a dedication to the God of Cricket. It was the perfect way to tell Sachin that after him they will carry the responsibility with pride and dignity.
What a fantastic way to begin April 2011 and feels nice to not have to use the 83 video clips every time we discuss about the world cup. Need to pinch myself to see if this is all real...uh-oh!! Mummy bhook lagi hai :) ..Just saw Malinga on TV...thank you CB for making hairstyles a powerful appetizer :D

The IPL has attracted so many eyeballs over the past few weeks that the ladies have even decided to take a break honce upon a time. With SRK taking up the cadgels for the Pom pom girls, Maharastra is not too happy with it. They apparently claim that watching their exposed figures jumping up all the time doesn't give 'shobha' to our culture. One thing , camera for sure need to be placed at another angle. A very purpose effort of the cameramen have lead to this debate ,for the way they capture the movements are even more obscene than the tiny clothes the girls adorn. Anyways as they are never blamed for whatever reasons , there is absolutely no point in banning the girls from doing their job. If it's the fear of opening a world of pain for your child's eye then you might as well stop watching Sania play, Dhoom 2, Fear Factor, Roadies . Infact they should put a ban over Sidney Sheldon's books and for your own good, just sit at home and stare at each other. Coz whatever you wanna do ..be it going to night clubs, or a mall, or the beach, or the slums, or even watching cricket could currupt your mind in a zillion ways. It would be awesome to have a book named 'The World Of Pain -100000000000 ways of corrupting your mind'. Oh.. it would be great coz then we could read and understand what could harm us right? Oh-uh.. but we have a problem.. who are we going to ask to write? A Cricketer?..who has good experience in their link-ups with the glamour world... or actors? ..who have got into so many controversies that it would be a good chance for them to count the times? No-no maybe we should ask one of the ministers to write. After all they are the one who talked big like 'Womanhood is of sole importance in India.. and how can we tolerate such obscene stuff on woman? It's a shame for us and the women' and blah blah.. so since they have 'acheived' the 33% legislatures for us women .. who could be better than them? Keep pondering guys.. and do suggest me your 'wanted author' and to add on spice.. also write the reasons for choosing him/her. TIA
