Victory Virus

What started as a casual visit to a friend’s place turned out to be a fun filled day……………………… Myself and my hubby were invited to a friend’s place to watch the finals of India and srilanka match at their place, I was all set to go, ofcourse not just to watch the cricket match but I can spend time with my friend and have fun…………………


Having said that I was a non-cricket watching person and was never interested in that, for that matter I was never a sports person since my school days, I was just into academics and then I would participate essay writings, just a minute, etc but never into sports……… It was my dad and my brother who were very crazy about cricket and I still remember my dad used to come home early whenever there was India versus Pakistan or simply India versus any country. I used to feel when was my turn to touch the remote control and change the channel to something which I can watch, yes to that extent I used to not watch cricket matches………………… My brother used to get full liberty from my dad to go out and have fun and shout on the streets once India wins the match, and ofcourse I have seen my brother having such fun many times, and I had told him, well if I was a guy like you even I would have had all these fun, for which he would just laugh and go away without saying a word…….

My husband enjoys watching cricket matches, and I can proudly say that he is the main reason for my transformation of watching the cricket, the excitement what he created for me was amazing it was as if I was going to the field and play for the country, sounds funny isn’t it ?? my first match was India versus Pakistan, the semi final match of the world cup 2011, most of the news channel were speaking about this match, about their reviews, opinion, their favorites and suggestions for both the teams, well all those things were making me more excited to look forward for the match…………. With my hubby’s help I tried to understand few cricket terminologies and watched the match, wow it was indeed fun and was a nail biting experience……………… Infact i was urging my hubby to not change the channles during commercial advertisements, well that was silly of me India had beaten Pakistan in the semi finals to make it way to the grand finale, that very night myself hubby went out and met our friends spoke enough about the match had ice cream and left for the day bidding good bye………..

Well out of the blue I started talking about my previous experience that is just to say how much of transformation has happened to me, from being a non-cricket watching person to someone who watched cricket (ofcourse I don’t understand completely even now, nevertheless i still enjoy watching)

Last night’s cricket match victory was something which was really very special to everyone who wanted India to win the match and who were constantly cheering up, yes even we did, especially when dhoni hit the final 6…………… by now we all had were smitten by the victory virus, myself hubby and all our friends went to streets, raised our voices and shouted so much and had loads of fun, and saw people on the streets who were enjoying and having fun just like us…………………

Well we wanted a reason for celebration and it turned out to be the world cup, wow now what can I say about that……………………….. I enjoyed every bit of the final match, more so I enjoyed the enjoyment and the way we celebrated the success…………………. I had felt many times why do people shout when someone has won, why can’t they keep quiet, but yesterday I experienced it myself, and now I know why it happens like that, its sheer fun and pure joy………………………

A reason to celebrate the success in your way with your people in your style, having said that I had a blast and a fun filled day……………….
