Kiriket
It’s cricket season, so I decided to throw in a post for the latest WC bug that seems to have bitten everyone :) I am not a superstitious person, in fact I don’t believe in chance, luck. I am a staunch advocate of the fact that if anything can turn things in your favour, it’s your own hard work and perseverance. But all of this ideology flies out of the window the moment India is playing. As a true patriot, I too wish that India wins in the end by hook or by crook (though it would take a miracle and a lot of ‘beautiful’ quotes from the likes of Siddhu and Gavaskar to achieve that now). So there you go, I have to make my own set of contributions to help the men in blue, as a matter of fact a lot of us do it. The craziest of such rituals me and me motley crew strongly believe in and most importantly, they actually work! 1. You badly need a wicket, step out for some fresh air for a few minutes, guys go for a quick smoke, coffee etc. you come back and lo there goes a wicket!...rushing to the rest room even if it is absolutely unnecessary apparently doubles the chances! 2. If you want to repeat a fab performance from an earlier match, all the items on the snack menu on that day would be present today as well. Some take this one step forward and wear the exact same dress, a few though don’t bother washing it though….nasty bunch I say! 3. If it’s a do or die match, make the most nervous member (which somehow is always yours truly) to miss the match, India will win it for sure and mostly it would be a historic one (the most successful one in this category was the 1999 WC match against Sri Lanka in which Gangs and Dravid were so awesome! My ‘friends’ sent me shopping for a few absolutely unnecessary stuff, making me run from one shop window to another looking out for the scores. I missed the entire Indian innings) 4. Pray! Yep, god apparently listens to your prayers mostly on these days, what else can he do when almost 1/4th of the world is crying out for one thing? I remembered we prayed fervently for rain in the 2003 finals, which we did get, but then no use :( 5. And a few bad omens as well, you expect a boundary or a 6 and are not batting an eyelid, and there screams your mobile to tear you away from the tv screen; the batsmen is sure to be dismissed before you end your call. We keep our mobiles switched off for this reason :) 6. We don’t finish out drink until Tendulkar has crossed 40. If one of us empties our glass before that, he’s gone for sure. But this technique has failed miserably lately as god hasn’t played the way he used to for years now :(( 7. Power cuts. They are often not bad, only on most occasions, a batsmen is gone by the time the lights are on again :( So you got any crazy rituals to narrate? :) Song on: Unakkul Naane Mood: Okay Labels: General

but i kept my mouth shut for 2003 finals, too risky u see :))
overheard from a neighbouring cubicle abt the bermuda match;
voice 1: huh whats the big deal, it was against bermuda for heavensake, gali cricket!...400 againt them is nothing, even our bachas in the streets can beat them
voice 2: this is too much, what exactly do u guys want, if the score less than 300 u say, even against bermuda they couldnt get a record breaking total....and when they do, u say fu fu, it's after all bermuda what's the big deal...what is ur problem in life....bache ki jaan loge kya

opponent team ku cool drinks la diarrhea pora maathiri ethaavathu mix panni kuduthitaa..fielding time la avanga rest room la busy ah irupaanga...oru 1000 run adichu win pannalaam :-)
Hey naan technically 3rd.... so molaga bajji parcel :D
Sat neenga yennoda clone'a??? Many things that you have listed I too follow... Especially the crucial matches that India play if I watch, they will lose miserably.... So I started avoiding watching crucial matches of India... Mostly highlights or retelecast than paarthen... that Ind Vs SL match, then the match where sachin hits a major knock against Aussies in Dubai... All great matches I never watched live...
I like the aussies... But when Ind and Aus play there will be a big fight between my heart and mind... because my heart supports India and my mind supports Aussies...
That snack thing also I follow religiously... Last worldcup every match we bought chips, tiger biscuit and pepsi... :)
Best thing was during Ind Vs Pak... When I was eating a particular Tiger biscuit.. Ind started playing well... so until we finished the 50th over I was like eating that one tiger biscuit... If I stop eating also something not in favor to us will happen so... anil maathiri konjam konjama antha biscuit saapten... intha cycle gap'la my roomies finished everything thing else... :(
If someone starts playing well when I change my sitting posture... then I sit the same way even if it is uncomfortable that way....
I mostly wear the same clothes to keep the good spirits on :)
I do all this only while watching cricket... otherwise I am a staunch advocate of the fact that if anything can turn things in your favour, it’s your own hard work and perseverance. :D
ah! nice post..
me too in the same ship.. if i c a match where india has to win and if i watch and expect God to fire in all cylinders, i will be disappointed :(
mostly highlights in youtube these days !!!
yes yes, sitting posture helps a lot. i have got back pains because inspite of being uncomfortable, i wont change my sitting posture if India plays well :)
at home, i always have my pillow in hand when watching :P
ippo vera edhuvum thonala.

as god hasn’t played the way he used to for years now :((

aiyo solladinga... biggest misery and mystery why GOD is not playing what he is capable of.. the other day against bangladesh, i was just wondering why he does not take the attack to the oppositions. afterall, arent they minnows power infinity for GOD ?
saga,just now read ur comment.. same pinch with sitting posture :)
naalu peru nalla irukkanumna namma odamnu nogunaalum thappilla :)
Ada en kekkara. Oru dadava hostel la match mattama pogude nu we were sitting on terrace and wondering how r we going to win. Suddenly our boys started to take wickets. Inda veena pona sentiment naala we stood there till the opposition was all out -(
Looks like these little sentiments do matter :-)
