India won the ICC 20-20 being held in South Africa. Wow ! wow ! wow ! A victory everyone was yearning for. It’s been so long since Indian cricket team won a tournament isn’t it?
I am not an avid cricket person. Not a sports person. I was at work, but I would like to add , fortunate enough to see the last two balls played that changed things. The Second last ball hit for a six and the last one which was a failed attempt at another six.
It happened just about five minutes before I left office. My boss warned me that it might be difficult to reach the station which was five minutes away due to crackers and celebrators. That was what they showed on TV after a victory so it must be happening in real life. Du-uh ! but I had never experienced it.
Sure enough I was met with a street full of people of all ages bursting crackers then some more dancing on the streets to drum beats. Fluttering Indian flags and shouting Bharat Mata ki jai. Boy! What a sight it was. People from all walks of life, all religions, and all ages were just caught in the moment celebrating the victory. How I wish I could capture it on camera? But I don’t as a rule carry camera to work. But I decided I had to record this moment on my blog.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai !!
