The Same Enthusiasm Like Before
After many months, I actually kept the blog aside, and did what I
want.
Today's been a very hectic day. My classmates and I had organized
a Farewell program for the seniors. I did not organize, but the Program/Party
was from the juniors to the seniors. So I did not literally organize it, but
was present there.
The Farewell Party got over around 4:30, after which we were
totally exhausted and tired. We were sitting in the air conditioned auditorium
from morning 11 to 4:30, and suddenly for the food, we had to leave behind the
pleasurable auditorium. And the sad part (which can only be in summer) was
having hot Biryani,
standing in a place without fans/wind. This hot Biryani, no wind, and my
perspiration, in all made the end bad (though the food was heavenly tasty) for
someone like me.
Anyway, after the party, I came home, rested a bit, and went with
my mom for a work. And literally, the weather was so disgusting, that I almost
cried to go home. I have never experienced such a weather before – too humid,
too hot, and the hot winds blowing – or maybe I might have experienced, but
must have forced myself to erase it from my memory. I have a solid problem with
hot weather, I guess.
What I did after that was something I hadn't done in a long
time.
Today was World Cup T20 Semi-Final India versus South Africa, and
yes, India won. And after many, many days, rather after many months, I have
watched a cricket match with the same enthusiasm like before.
I was conflicting with myself about the match – whether to watch
it, or write the blog. And the answer was, 'Watch the match; c'mon it's the Semis!'
And I believe that if I watch the match, be it Arsenal, Mumbai
Indians, or India's, we win. And I need to wear my lucky blue t-shirt for India
or Mumbai Indians, and my red t-shirt for Arsenal (provided that Arsenal is
playing on Emirates).
Anyway, I was in the blue t-shirt today, and cheered on every
wicket when SA was batting and on fours and sixes when India was batting.
The reason for not cheering India for so many months is not an absurd
one, I'm sure. Even you might be having the same reason as me – Sachin
Tendulkar's retirement from cricket. Since then, apart from my mom, my father
and I, both of us had stopped watching cricket, well, until today.
It was a great evening (though the weather sucked). I just planned
of writing a short post after the match today. I'm so happy to watch cricket
after such a long time, with the same enthusiasm (and patriotism).
I just hope India wins the World Cup.
