Yes!!!!!! India Won!!!!!! Whoopppeee!!!!
World cup fever!! What do I say about it?? It's like a madness which creeps through the bones of every Indian and makes even the most serious and sane person completely lose control. Even I'm not excluded from this insane behaviour. But it's the bloody World Cup!! Who cares about being sane and normal and or so calm and Boring!!! Cricket is in my blood!! It's my religion!! I love the game.
My colony has literally gone crazy. A huge projector was set up and we had a DJ and the entire
colony danced and celebrated. It was an awesome experience. People have jumped in the pool. There's live music!! Its like a National Day Reunion!!
Cricket is something which unites everyone together. Enemies become friends. It's like the World War is won. And if it's against Pakistan, it's like an all out war!! When you're watching the final its like War!! And when patriotic songs like "Vande Mataram " come up, you cant help but just swell with pride and love for your country...
And the best thing I love is the superstitions people have.
Sit in that position with your legs crossed. Put your chair in this angle and don't get up.
Start shouting slogans like-
But it's even better when you do all these things and then an opposing wicket falls or a four is hit. It may not be logical but it rejuvenates you and makes ulyou feel involved.
I have loved the World Cup And I'm super proud my country has hosted such an awesome event. It gives everyone a sense of pride and a boost especially after so many fiascos like the CWG scam or the 2G scam.
I didn't get an opportunity to go for the World Cup. Maybe some other time.
I loved my crazy "Supporting" sessions for England and South Africa...But watching the Final was just amazing. I felt so alive. And I Love my Country so much at this moment. I feel so complete at this moment. Its hard to describe how important a team is to you. Although Cricket is just a sport, it just means so much more. I did support England ( sometimes even versus India...) but it never made sense. It didn't mean so much .
Most people might say i just like India now because we won.. But I think it's because I've realised what I truly am. I'm Indian!!! And I'm Bloody Proud of it. I may love British TV or African safaris or even some Brit or Saffa cricketers, but it's just not as important or as long lasting as the feeling you get when your own country does it for you...
The World Cup Is Over....
The IPL is yet to come!!
Rooting for Mumbai Indians!!

OR
"Who can ?? Zaheer Khan!!
Kiske sar par Hoga Taaj? Yuvraj!!
( On whose head shall sit the crown? Yuvraj! The Hindi word for crown in Taaj which is why it makes sense) But it's even better when you do all these things and then an opposing wicket falls or a four is hit. It may not be logical but it rejuvenates you and makes ulyou feel involved.
