It was just last year that we had seen an EPIDEMIC called FIFA World Cup… But 2011 is witnessing something very explicit… very extravagant… the frenzy that’s infecting all… ICC CWC 2011… being held in the Indian Sub-continent… And the last two matches played n WON by INDIA have added to the severity of this infection… In India… CRICKET by far is the most superior religion ever seen on Earth… The players are treated as God and the God is the ultimate end stop for all the prayers related… The way people pray for the results to be good for anything is nothing compared to what everyone prays when it’s INDIA in the field… Right from the 7 year old to 70 years old, everyone is glued to the television sets when there’s a match played… Everyone’s more concerned about the wickets then their health … Sleep, Hunger… nothing…n literally nothing can come in way between cricket… And in the last two matches… The Atmosphere… The Pressure… nerve wrecking… 1 st match… INDIA vs AUSTRALIA… everyone just...

“Aaj hum ghar ghar khelenge” “5 baje garden chalna hai, jhula jhulne k liye” Good old days… we all used these kinds of simple sentences in the daily life… As kids, this was life… A ‘no’ to these was a big big setback for the day… Food seemed tasteless if the neighboring friend was on holiday somewhere… it tastes bad even today… only the context has changed… Childhood was the most amazing phase of life and there can be no allegations for that… Few days back was chit-chatting with a special friend who had been baby-sitting his niece and was telling his ordeal with the kids around… these 5 year olds have a world of their own… for them we can be either most amusing or most disturbing all at the same time… When no one’s around we are a World to them… and the very next moment when his/her friend arrives we are no one to them for the other kid becomes replacement… they are smart enough to use their brains and use us for their amusement… especially when it isn’t your kid, he/she makes a perfe...
