Time to learn lessons from the Dogs ??
It is quite strange, but incredibly true that the very moment Mushfiq Tahim of
Bangladesh hit the winning boundary against India in India's inaugural match of the ICC cricket world cup 2007, the very first thought that came to my mind (at 3:00 am, yawn !) was to create my own blog !
Though i was'nt exactly feeling sleepy, as i spent another hour playing online cricket (www.zapak.com) (I must have played about a million times and each time I chose India as my team and my opponent as Bangladesh and thrashed them around like hell penting all my fury).
Therefore this blog had to wait for 7 hours....
Pakistan ousted from the world cup by Ireland...another shocker. I was particulary looking forward for a crucial India - Pakistan Showdown.
Though I do not believe in terms like destiny, fate, god,....there has to be some reason behind yesterday, the 17th of March 2007 being the underdogs (sorry, they are no more underdogs as they have defeated world beaters)....what the world thought to be as underdogs to tear their opponents apart (snarl...growl...)
I wish I had known that this day the 17th of March would have been an underdogs day( pardon me...I will still call them underdogs...Iam sure they will be shown their place by the giants...and India are still cricketing giants... like hell I care to those critics who send those smses and emails to TV Channels...post blogs etc.. saying"Indian cricket is finished"," sack Dravid", "send Sehwag home" and so on and so forth...these critics have'nt even held a bat or thrown a cricket ball in their lives at some professional level of cricket.)
Coming back to the day of underdogs, I wish I had known earlier.., I would have rather given my Broadcast Journalism exam instead of coming back retired hurt after having gone all the way to college, (complaining of Severe stomach cramps, giddiness and setting of high fever).
If I had any idea about it being the day of the underdogs...I would have bravely fought my illness and given my exams...after all Iam the Bangladesh and Ireland of academics !

I would have basked in the glory of topping this paper !!

I don't see why someone has to actually play the game to enjoy it. Like a film critic has to direct a movie to enjoy it, or someone has to compose songs to listen and enjoy music.
Everyone wants underdogs to win, makes the world seem fair.
