It just doesn't matter!!

What am I doing at 11pm in the night without already awaiting good dreams?! What the hell am I trying to do logging into my laptop at this odd hour in the night??! Why have I behaved so barbarian like and yelled at home all thro today? Why did I refuse to move an inch from where I was sitting over the past seven hours? I don't know.. And the conclusion is simple.. I"VE GONE CRAZY!!

I have always wondered and criticized people who follow cricket so crazily.

"Are these guys out of their mind?"
"Got nothing else to be bothered about?"
"Jobless people treating a game as anything but a game"

I apologize guys... If the game can make someone as indifferent as me to do all the things I listed above, it deserves to be treated more than "JUST A GAME"... The spirit that the last two weeks has induced in me is beyond my fathoming. What cricket has done to me is something I'm indebted to forever! I, never in my wildest dreams, imagined I will shout at the top of my voice for every ball, every stroke... Wept when the moment came up... "INDIAAAAA.. INDIA" is what I have messaged the most this day... Can I myself believe I chanted Chamakam for India to win this day?

It doesn't matter who you are; whether you like cricket or not; whether you know the rules or not... IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER.. For the indomitable spirit of this crazy nation, for the love my people have for the game and the title, for the million prayers across the nation, for the "God of Cricket", JAI HO!! This moment captured in my amateur words will stay with me all life just as the other one I wrote on 13 Aug'09.

I swear... on this great occasion, not to use the words, "JUST A GAME" ever again in my life... for any sport.

Sri...
