So the celebration continues and its ecstasy all around! I just do not have enough words to explain the feeling right now as I am completely overwhelmed and so are all the Indian fans. Of course after having had a busy day at office & shouting at the loudest possible voice in the office cafeteria/pantry, I am feeling too tired and would have been off to sleep any other day; however, the euphoria is such that it has given me an extra dose of energy to write a little more. After all; what the world has witnessed just now happened to be the biggest cricketing extravaganza that turned out to be simply phenomenal. India beat Pakistan by 29 runs . The excitement generated from this match would definitely continue for a long time to come. CONGRATULATIONS to the Indian team & their supporters!

The sad part was that I did not have a holiday to enjoy the match ball by ball and yet it was really great to watch the enthusiasm in the office pantries and the cafeteri...

So here we are. The Indian cricket team has let it slip yet again and I am a disappointed cricket fan as anyone else from our country would be. Truly disappointed; more so because I was very confident of an India win today. Yet India should not take it as a stumbling block and go ahead in the tournament with this loss as a stepping stone as they had their share of the positives too. A few can be pointed out as below: Their openers yet again giving them a great & swashbuckling start with both Tendulkar & Sehwag delivering vintage knocks. Especially Tendulkar’s looking more solid than ever and never at any moment has he looked vulnerable against any attack in the competition. I am sure everyone would agree that it was quite an uncanny collapse in the last 9 overs which, I am quite convinced to take as an exception. Gautam Gambhir puts to rest all the speculation by hitting the second fifty in this world cup making Indian batting li...
