Today is a special day for all the cricket lovers in India as India is going to play with Sri Lanka in next 6 hours for a place in Super 8 of ICC world cup. I have never seen so much anticipation about any match. Everybody is cricket expert in his/ her own right and giving his/ her expert opinion (as if their opinions hold any value for Rahul Dravid & team). I have even seen people (including me), who don't even remember when did they play cricket last, giving their expert advice. I am tired of listening: India should bowl first, India should drop Agarkar, India should play Pathan.
In my office, people are forming group so that they can watch match together and support Indian team. Some people are wearing blue shirts (I am not wearing blue and if you curious about the color I am wearing today, it is ..... RED) to support team India. I ask those people, who are wearing blue, that Sri Lankan outfit is also blue. I am not sure how many people are wearing same shade of blue as that of Indian outfit.
Newspapers are filled with cricket news (good for me but even I am not used to reading 7-8 pages of sports news). I pick up newspaper from the apartment door and front page is cricket. I always read first page thinking at least I will get some news about country, world, neighbors, etc. but these newspapers are disappointing me since the last 5 days. Anyway, I will keep reading all the sports news till they publish.
Just now I have got an invitation from a friend of mine to watch cricket at his place. He has invited me with family (thank god) so that all of us can enjoy (hopefully) cricket, food and drinks (no specified order). I am still not sure whether I will go to his place or not. Need to check with my wife (mentioning my wife because I have got complaints that there is no mention about her in my blogs).
Tell me guys who do you support? I know I have lots of personal things to do but still I will watch match. I may wear blue while watching match to support Team India or I may not wear blue. Because I don't care about blue. All I care is the Team India winning. So guys and gals, get ready for the match. Support team India. They need us right now and I am asking support for our team from all of you. As Nike says "Just do it" and don't think about it. I am sure we will win. And who knows that Indian win can fetch you a surprise gift.

Well mate, you've referred to your friend before referring to your wife... That will cause another complaint :)
Good point. I think I will have to manage that in my next blog entry :-)
