Chak De!

It took me a while to recover from our performance in the world cup and until there is a wave of younger players coming through, my interest in Indian cricket will not be the same as it used to. However, the T20 world cup has surely ignited some of that latent fanaticism that is buried deep inside most of us Indians.

I go to one of those new age gyms which have a flat screen TV attached to all the treadmills...so you don't miss even a second of the mindlessness that TV brings with it. I finished my workout and was walking out past the treadmills...they were all occupied and 9 of the 10 treadmill TVs were all tuned to the highlights of last night's fist clenching, punch-in-the-air champagne performance of India putting it across "favourites" South Africa. No other sport or team can replace this sensation for me. I had a huge smile as I walked out...win or lose, we are like this... only!
