AC/DC's playing - Back in Black ..and am sooo happy right now! India won the world cup in style. The day actually started pretty bad, with me having a nightmare that India lost the world cup. I actually woke up with that! I got soo shook up by the entire thing that I got up at 7:00-7:15 am eastern time and rushed towards my laptop to see the score. Thankfully the nightmare was only a nightmare. India were managing pretty well at restricting the Lankans. I freshened up...talk to my folks at home and got back to the match. That was when the last 5 overs were left and when the Lankans went berserk! I couldn't believe they reached 274! Well, at that time I thought anything less than 300 would be easy for us. However, we could not have a worse start than Sehwag getting out at the 2nd ball off the innings and Sachin getting out before the 10th over. The entire cyberspace was like - "Its over!" .. "It's so dissappointing" and shit. And thats exactly what makes the Indian fight back sooo beautiful. All the so called "loyal" supporters had thought that the game was over and that India had lost the cup. Well, that's when we had a match at hand, Just when the chips were down...we scripted the most memorable world cup win. I swear, I spent the entire day glued to my seat, "reading" the match. I watched the entire Indian innings on cricinfo. But I enjoyed myself. I had my speakers blaring out metal as I saw India chase down a total that skeptics thought it wasn't possible.
Anyways, after the match, me and Akash just HAD to celebrate. We went to our usual liquor shop and got us some beer. We just finished all of it just now. Well, it was my b'day and India had won the world cup after 28 years...so we had to right!? Well..all I can say right now is that I'm happy my b'day was a day after we made history! Although I miss celebrating it in India but I guess we made most of it. What an occasion!
