I saw a forward in my inbox after the India-Bangladesh game.
It was one of those marginally humorous jokes that you tend to read - the kinds that get twisted a bit here and a tad there before being sent out for their bouts with our spam filters - till you must have read ten different flavors of the same joke.
When I read through it - I thought to myself that it was funny in a gloomy sort of way - one of those that attempt to draw a silver-lining smile from you from an otherwise gloomy cloud. It did make me smile though.
But looking back in hindsight - that forward in my mail-box was a cruel cruel one. It was plain sadistic ! People ought to think before forwarding such cruel things !
It is just a game. I know. But it has been a bad bad day.
Here is that cruelly humorous forward.

HER DIARY
Day night, I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a cafe to have some coffee.I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment. Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk, he agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong - he said, "Nothing. "I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving.I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love u,too."When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore . He just sat there and watched TV. He seemed distant and absent. Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed. I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep. I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep.I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else . My life is a disaster.
HIS DIARY

Thats what happens when a billion plus crowd is after single game with sheer madness.
Guess, BCCI (if not other already doomed sporting bodies) can fund and encourage other games in India - and reduce the high stakes in cricket n so the pressure on players. Take me not wrong n this not in defense of our cricketers but naturally we are not as offensive as Aussies and Proteas.
But ya Insha-allah, our men in blue will do well :)
yup ! It is true that cricket being the focal point of the entire population gives rise to unrealistic expectations.
Insha-allah I too hope the men in blue do well in the future !
