Finally, its time, the much hyped world cup 2011 semi final match between India and Pakistan is going to be played tomorrow. The reason for the Hype?
these 3 reasons are enough to make people take a day off from work and sit back in their home enjoying the match. People are declaring self-proclaimed holidays for tomorrow and my Facebook wall is filled with post about the match ( this post is going to be added to those once i post it there :P )
Even our college has declared an official half day as the match is starting at 2.30PM and believe me, after spending almost 3 very tedious years of my life in this college i can tell you this for sure that college declaring a half day like this is something really BIG.
even though I am not much of a cricket fan, and me writing about Cricket on my blog is really unimaginable! but here is the post right before you.! actually this world cup is changing me.. some how I am actually following the matches in this world cup - at least all matches of India.
I even played cricket with some friends today after many years(maybe 6 or more... long time!). It was my first time with cricket in this college i guess. felt good. really needed the exercise as we are doing nothing but sitting around with our laptops these days... n getting fat :P
Though I accept, I suck at cricket - can't help it - not much of a bowler, can touch the ball with the bat sometimes... :P yeah, but I did try... and my team actually won all three of the matches which were played!!! so it was awesome :D
Enjoy tomorrow's match !! n hope India wins!!! :D

another reason for all the hype is: all the hype. its all just a vicious cycle. and the higher they jump the harder they fall! itni importance nahi deni chahiye ek game ko. :P
