HEIGHTS OF FRENZY!!

It has been really long since I have posted anything here let alone access our own blog (embarrassed smiley!) I found this to be the apt moment to write one when one cricket match has captured the imagination of people around the world and not just the participanting nations in the match!

The bitter sweet Cricketing rivalry of India and Pakistan in can cause an instant rise in the population of butterflies in our tummies :) And that is even before the match actually being played out! The anticipation causes such furore that today in the morning, it took me extra effort to handle all the hyper-energetic pushing and pulling in the local train :D People have been so vocal about their views for the last few days (compare that to the nervousness which led to excessive talking during the appraisal :D).

On the point of being vocal about views, we have come across amazing chatter from all forms of social media communication leading up to this match. Most of the chatter has been in good humor (read: downright abusive! :D). I am recounting some of the most entertaining (and clean) parts here:

• MTVIndia on FB: 1lakh for a 10k ticket, 17lakhs for a 10 second TV commercial, 22k for a one- way flight to Chandigarh, productivity down to 75% in the fastest developing nation in the world, that too on the final day of the financial year!!


• Afridi: We won't let Sachin make a century in this match! We will be 93 all out!!


• Teams qualified from Group A: Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka. Teams qualified from Group B: India. Moral of the story: Lions walk alone!


• 1:7 bet between Dr. Manmohan Singh and Asif Ali Zardari - If India wins, Pakistan hands over Dawood Ibrahim. If Pakistan wins, India hands over Mayawati, Raja, Jayalalita, Kalmadi, Mamta, Mulayam and Lalu!!


• FB status from Pakistan: Beware of the green TSUNAMI!! - Comment: Tsunamis are BLUE you idiot!!

ENJOY THE MATCH EVERYONE!! :)
