Its 1:34am of 23rd of September,hardly an ideal time to be writing blogs,but then it was that kind of a day,or rather,night.Well,am referring to the India vs Australia semi final of the inaugural Twenty 20 World cup,which concluded half an hour ago,with India hunting down the kangaroos in a roller coaster of a game.
Sports is a great unifier and its evident when it comes to cricket in India.The match started with somewhat subdued start from Sehwag and Gambhir,the former getting out rather cheaply,folowed by Gambhir and then it was Yuvraj's turn to take centrestage.He carried on from where he left against his six-sixes-in-an-over act against England just three days ago,and changed the entire momentum of the game,aided later by the skipper for the tournament,M.S. Dhoni.
Then started the Aussie chase of 188,and as expected,we didnt get an easy win.They kept coming at us and at the end,it was thanks to an excellent 17th over from Harbhajan followed by two more from R.P. n the villian till then.. Joginder Sharma,with Aus needing 22 off the last over,which he wrapped up giving six runs n bagging two wickets.
This indeed is a very special phase for Indian cricket and as a fan you can't help but ask for more.The final is still to come in 48 hrs time and no one could have written the script better..its India vs Pakistan at Johannesburg!!!
The last three days at Durban have seen India beat England,South Africa and Australia and the rank outsiders Indians have excelled in every department.Durban seems to be a venue where we can just not lose.
Apart from that,there's not much happening in life,except the poor sessionals papers in which I skipped two papers and would get under ten in three of the four papers I wrote.All the friends seem to be too busy with their own lives and that's what I'm trying to do,with a lot of success,I must say.As for the studies,now its the time to alter my lifestyle a bit so as to get more involved with work and keep myself busy.Let's see how much I succeed.
And yes... today I somehow managed to download the song I'd been searching for,"Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney.Not that I'm too much into these foreign singers but then,some songs just take your heart away,and this is one of them..
