India Wins World Cup 2011

This is super crazy, it is a bit hard to grasp. Honestly, I was really oblivious and was not following cricket, and was resenting people thinking they are wasting their time. But when they beat Australia and then Pakistan, I wanted to watch the final.

During the last two overs of the match, I did not want to watch the match, because I was not being myself at that time, and was wondering if I would be able to hold myself together if India does it. This is happening after 28 years. I did not watch the ceremony because I went outside in the streets to scream out loud and give hugs to as many people I could. During few moments seeing people celebrating, I was feeling a bit emotional. I did not cry though, but I believe people who actually follow cricket like a religion must have cried a bit.

Then there were fireworks all over the country, I could feel it. I would hear it, I could smell gun powder at every street. And while seeing the fireworks, I felt really proud.

We are world champions guys. Can you believe that?
