India won the world cup today. Dint think I will be able to sy that in my lifetime after the seniors had made so sure that the baggage of history would be carried for generatins on. but this is different. This is a generation of of irreverents, who dont give a rats ass to the history of cricket or for anything else and who just do what is to be done. So Mr. Dhoni you just did it. Take a bow. you deserve it. You will talk about this for the rest of your life just like ol' Kapil and inshallah you will have the other world cup in your belt too. but today you have helped me enjoy my beer. Like Amitabh said in his ad" Kya waqt hai hai zindagi jeene ka" what a time to be an indian.
I saw Shahrukh Khan there today and was wondering - where are are the rest of our senior players. Probably tending to their injuries or their 'commercial' commitments. its quite a shame that a film star has the time to be preseent in a crucial final a\while our seniors spend the time at home balancing their accounts. Guys have a life.
I guesss Shahrukh was there because it was his fitrat - his nature. At short notice to cal up a few of his friends for dinner, say chak de india alound and ask for tickets for himself and his son. But it was a good gesture. At least he was there. just like that - almost. I wish I could do that someday. God you are listening right.?
But my pet grouse for today or atleast till this hangover lasts is - Where the F@%^k are the seniors? Tending to their injuries? Shame. Howeer, having said that, this much is for sure. I, am priviledged. I thank God for giving me this opportunity to enjoy my team's win and that too after beating Pakistan, England, South Africa,Australia and Pakistan again.
God - Bless my team. May there be consistency of the Australian kind.
As for me, I will tend to my hangover tommorrow and chart some course for myself for the day. Like they say 'in the end its you and your toothbrush the next day in the morning'
Over and out
