For the first time, I swear to god, for the first time I loved to hear Official ICC World Cup anthem . That song has been my ringtone for over a month now, but I simply hated it. It's the random craziness I carry with cricket that put it as my ringtone at first place.
So we won against Pakistan in World Cup Semi Finals to play against Srilanka in Mumbai for supposedly last world cup of Sachin Tendulkar where he possibly score his 100th International century to support India to win it's 2nd ODI World Cup after 28 years. You know what that means?? Ofcorse we all do!
A normal Indian lives his normal routine, he loves his movies and daily soaps, hates politicians and believe that Sachin is god. And go real crazy when his team do something like what they did last night. An average 15 minute travel from Madhapur to Gachibowli took us over an hour last night at 11:30 PM. There we saw approximately thousands of people on their bikes, cars, trucks, buses and simply shouting INDIA INDIA or SACHIN SACHIN. Makes you feel this one is special and really Huge!
I watched first half in Office on http://extracover.net where they were streaming match from a Pakistan's national channel, it's been fun watching ads from other side of the border...the most prominent was from HBL bank where the guy congratulates Pak team for reaching semi finals and says.."Hamare liye toh Finals yehi hain. Bass inko harana hain "...well tough luck dude.
Still loved the way Afridi carried his team, but now with all the conspiracy theories ON with Misbah's batting, Umar Gul's bowling and overall fielding efforts by Pak team, I still do not want it to take away even a minute of joy that we had last night.
It was one of those moments when nation comes to stand still and it was totally worth it!
