Cricket, My fixed obsession
Lured by a magic charm called…
The butterflies in my stomach are getting agitated and are flying all over…The adrenalin rush is at a breathtaking speed- - as we draw tantalizingly close to the mother of all cricket matches… the ultimate clash of the titans – INDIA VS PAKISTAN. The stage is perfectly set- a war in every sense of it ; bats made of willow in lieu of rifles – kookaburra balls in lieu of nuclear bombs! Also, a fierce battle of emotions.
Mixed feelings - excitement,fear, tension … stalk around me like a shoal of fish… Without an iota of doubt , nothing but Indo-pak clashes evokes an incredible magnitude of craziness, sometimes FANATICISM , driving us to dizzy and frenzied heights…
We get drenched in a rain of euphoria when the men in cool blues triumph—lots of hungama, hype and hoopla… Else,??? Ah! I even shudder to think of that. The nation is at its lowest ebb, more often than not , provoking violent, aggressive reactions, marring the true spirit of the game. Passion, emotions, patriotism- everything’s fine . but hard-core fanaticism will have to be nipped in the bud. It’s afterall a game of glorious uncertainities and we must learn to embrace the scintillating success and the pricking failures with equanimity and immerse ourselves fully in the fine and flamboyant spirit of the game…
Ah… just a few moments away… eyes “quick-fixed” to the box, everything around’s whirling , as if amidst a typhoon!… mixed emotions coupled with a great deal of tension haunts me. Ah… I’m lost – kidnapped by the evergreen charm of the game…!!
