Day 2 : The 2011 World Cup Semi Final

March 31, 2011

What a match it was last night, certainly worth the guilt I carried for taking an half day from office. And, I thought it was a lot of fun. May be some Pakistani players were paid to boost Sachin's luck. I witnessed at least four catches that they missed. It did pay them dearly at the end. The last Pakistani batsman, who I am told is Misbah, was almost sleep walking through out the match and woke up only at the last overs when it was already too late. I am glad the Indian team lived upto all the hype. The noise that the city was making last night after the match was overwhelming. The fire crackers and incessant noise, everybody was too excited to sleep. Most of the people are late to office today after having a late night yesterday. Also I see so many groups around discussing and having a postmortem of the match tomorrow. Its amazing how much effect a game can have on our lifes. ** Added Later My parents have recently moved in to his new apartment and it was getting tough for them to get hold of the concerned people to get their internet and cable connections. Mum has been cribbing since last 2 weeks having denied her regular Saas-bahu quota. But come the semifinals of the World cup, Dad got hold of the cable guy and managed to get the cable connection the same day morning. Men I tell you...all are the same!!!
