Cricket Finally !!

I tried hard to stay away from Writing anything on cricket( the game of course) despite the eventful (aweful some will say) happenings over the last week in World of Cricket. But if you live in the country where Cricket is THE Religion ,even atheist like me cannot turn blind eye to the godly happenings around . You hear about it everywhere- the Office cafeteria, project meetings, manager's cabin, your next cubicle , resturants, the office cab and so on and so forth. And every damn body has an opinion on this great religious catastrophe which has befallen on us Indians.

But the most interesting part as far as I am concerned is the CREATIVITY the cricket lovers are showing while bashing Team India. Like we had a series of morphed pictures showing the Cricketing heros( or zeros ?) doing mundane jobs like cooking, selling coconuts and evening making Chappals( guess who) in their post Cricket World Cup life. Got another email forward which blamed the Indian's Team exit on Team Bermuda since BErmuda lost to BAngladesh despite knowing that BErmuda's loss meant India's loss as well. But the funniest and most creative was blaming Lord Hanuman for India's exit from the World cup . How ? Had Lord Hanuman destroyed Sri Lanka with his poonch( tail) while saving Sita from the clutches of Ravana( he is the mother of all Villians as per Indian Mythology) , today Sri Lanka could have been non existent and you cannot be beaten by someone who is non existent :)

But what has happened cannot be changed and so I think we should focus our life back on things other than Cricket (like for example directly discussing work at Project meeting than digressing over why India Failed._ Also use our Creativity for the better and bigger things in life rather than brooding over 11 men in Sky Blue pyjamas losing to 11 men in Navy Blue ones.
