Most of us had been complaining about how impossible it was to watch a match in that small TV hall.And only when it was impossible for us to watch a match, India went till semis and that too they were gonna meet Pakistan in the semis. Total disappointment and adding to it was our lab exam.
We were so clueless to what we were gonna do and what a shame it would be to not to watch an India vs Pak , that too a WC match and that too a semis.
And suddenly someone from the hostel says " they are gonna screen it in a big screen". There was a huge smile on all our faces , and even people who generally are not interested in cricket became excited .All of us ran to the TV hall to catch places (not chairs, ground). It was so much fun to sit on the ground and hoot and scream for every ball whether it was of any significance or not.And by the end of the first innings when we thought we wanted a break, the crowd made it impossible cos once you get up, you need to stand for the entire match. So we made up our mind "lets sit here for the full match and its ok even if its an innings break, cant give hunger a higher priority at the cost of a seat".
There were a lot of incidences that made it even more memorable. There were a bunch of people who would start clapping even if it was a wide ball. According to them the ball didnt hit the bat and the batsman didn''t run and so out of love for their country they believed they had an awesome bowler who has been attacking the opponents well.
And how some girls managed to appreciate a player for his fielding when he was not even on the 11 squad :P:P and I literally had to turn around and tell her "He is sitting in the pavilion cos he is not there in this match".
Not to blame them, anyone in this world will be excited to watch an India Pak match. For once I'm thankful to PSG for marking a memorable moment in our lives in hostel.
By the way India is taking Sri Lanka on 2 April 2011 in the finals. Hopefully we win this WC cos even god would want Sachin Tendulkar to lift theWorld Cup atleast once in his life.
To watch India lift the cup, all of us in the class are going to go to Sudharsan's and Saranya's house to watch the match due to the inconvenience caused to our butts in the hostel and for the heck of togetherness and fun and to make life at PSG more memorable!!!
And we are gonna paint oursleves and indulge ourselves in all the possible crazy activities , and to show our support all of us wore blue dress to college today .:):)
PS: Thanks Sudharsan and SD for it and we hope that your family will be able to put up with our non sense!!:P
