Well ...lemme just post this to further my own insights than your.
See,i have lived in almost every part of india and am south indian by origin, but i can't muster up enough logic to figure out how sportspeople in india attain this heroic status in india and how all these matches affect me in any way posible.
Dont write me off as a impassionate boy, but i have grown up charading to be the gung-ho cricket fan cos that was what the crowd expected of me.
It was only after i got enough guts to tell my friends that i DISLIKE cricket that i was accepted to be who i was....its like transexuals in bangalore.....
Please explain me why these people think like this?....do they orgasm with self-respect when they watch dravid leading a team because they lack what is infront of their eyes??
