The afterlife of India Vs Austraila

Finally, after IPL , there was a cricket match taking place in Delhi. The IPL season turned sour as the match which i went to see got cancelled due to rains. For this one, I and some of my friends somehow arranged the tickets. It was said that the tickets were sold out within hours of opening of the ticket window.  So even getting the tickets was a big achievement ( that to at the last moment).

The match was to start at 2:30 pm and we were at the stadium at 11am. We thought that we would be the first people to reach the stadium, but to our surprise, there was a more than 100 meter long queue at the gate .

The enthusiasm in the crowd was AWESOME. Even awesome is an understatement. The match started at 2:30 pm sharp. I always heard in TV, the cheering done by the crowds for the players. This was my first experience at it. Cheering for Sachin (Saaachiiiiiiin………. Saaachiiiiiiin….. ) was something which i will never forget . Sachin was to complete his 17,000 runs in this match. But he never did. Never mind, India still won the game. The experience of seeing a match, live at a stadium, against Australia and that too in Delhi can’t be put in words. I am specially mentioning Delhi because of the innovative cheers for Indian players and abuses for the Australian players can be done only by dilli waley .

It was cold that night. I guess , this was the main reason for me catching cold and then a high fever the next day ( ohh yeah.. guys don’t wear sweaters , that too when you have girls around ). I had a project submission coming up the next week. My exams were starting in two days and having fever was the best excuse one could get for not performing in exams .I had even missed two Mock CATs for this match. But then i guess, watching a match at Kotla , that too India Vs Australia is worth it .

Today i received my Indian Navy SSB call letter. I had applied in Indian Navy under the University Entry Scheme. I am still not sure if i would join if i clear the SSB, but then i really want to see what is SSB all about. I am hearing about this SSB since i was a kid. The SSB dates are clashing with my Engineering semester exams, so i have to reschedule the SSB. I am hoping that they do, else i have to miss this chance. Going there would be fun as i would have some of my best friends with me there and i am really looking forward to this trip   .

I had promised myself that i will not write about the exams that i am having  , or about the preparation schedule we have , or the entrance exams i am lined up with . So , this is it
