World Cup Crazy Celebrations! (with Videos)

Saturday, April 2, 2011
Fans Celebrating in Delhi! 

Shirtless Guys were seen Everywhere!


Sonia Gandhi Greets the Crowd!

For once I was stuck in a traffic jam and was enjoying it!! Yes, noone complained because we had just won the World Cup!! I did not have the luck to go and watch the match in a stadium but I still felt a part of an unforgettable celebration, something that is hard to repeat in even a life time. I am amongst the fortunate fews to have recorded the historic event twice in a lifetime, but the last time I was only a baby in the nappies. This time I actually experienced it!

We first headed to GK II M block market, where fans were screaming 'Virat Kohli ki Jai!!!!'. There was high energy all around. Strangers were hugging each other to congratulate! A lot of people had taken off their shirts some had taken off their pants too! And of course there was traffic jam too. Everyone had gone crazy! And why not, it was a maddening moment indeed.

Then we headed towards the center of celebration of the capital, India gate! But alas, we could never reach the destination because of the massive jam. But that does not mean we did not celebrate. People had stopped their cars in the middle of the road and the show was on. Some were dancing around their car, while some on the roof of their car and some on the bonnet.I saw a gentleman doing the 'Salman Khan pelvic thrust' with his car! Even Sonia Gandhi was greeting the fans while sitting on the bonnet of her car!

The atmosphere was just amazing! Guys, girls, kids, adults everyone was there. And, almost everyone from Poonam Pandey to the wild fans wanted to shed clothes to show their support and happiness!! It seemed that sitting inside the car was banned by law because everyone was sitting on the windows of their cars with the heads out. For those with the privilege of having a car with a sunroof, this was definitely the best use of it! At 3 am in the night, it looked like the party had just begun. Everyone was cheering, even the cops celebrated. Everyone was stuck on bad traffic but the bad enjoyed every moment of it.

Finally we simply took a left turn to head back home. But what I had seen and felt was absolutely amazing!
We did take a few videos but they were taken in so much excitement that they all shook :( I have put them up nevertheless. You can hear the noise and feel the excitement!!

Congrats Team India!!
I think Monday, 4th April should be declared as a National Holiday!!!


And, where is Poonam Pandey now????

World Cup Fever, Cricket Fashion

Thursday, March 10, 2011
Cricket is an amazing phenomenon that unites India! If you happen see a huge crowd outside the TV shop around the corner, it's got to be India playing a cricket match. Be it a scorching hot day in Delhi or a damp and rainy one in Kolkata, nothing can dampen the spirit of the fans.

The crowd forgets everything else and screams in unison when Sachin hits a six, be it in the the stadium or the office cafeteria or the local groceries shop with a TV or the hostel common room or outside a restaurant in a premium mall or may be even your own drawing room. I am myself a great fan of the game!! And so I thought of dedicating this post to all those who love the game and makes the effort to show it as well :)

I really wish I could take some pictures myself, but did not get a chance to go to the stadium. So putting up some stuff from the web that I found interesting! Tell me which one you liked the best!
