smittenbyuIndia WON!!! the ICC World 2011!!!!!!!!! After 28 years!!!!! And what a win it was!!! Sri Lanka played brilliantly and India truly earned the win! We watched it a friend's place and we were thinking it was almost over for India when Sehwag was out in the 3rd ball thrown and Sachin was dismissed after 18 runs (he is the key star player - national treasure)!! But wow.... Dhoni, Gambhir, Yuvraj.... they played well! What a match!!
1983 was the last time India brought the world cup home. My parents, sis and I were in London at the time. We were flying to Brasilia and dad promised mom a good Indian meal as there would be none in Brazil. We apparently fought a lot of traffic and with great difficulty found an Indian restaurant. We were tired, we were hungry and it turned out to be the night of the World Cup finals. They had to beg the waiters to bring the food as everyone from the cook to the busboy were watching the game!
Talking about food, we had taken upma with us to share and N cooked it. It turned out to be delicious! Everyone assumed that I made it. It's always the woman isn't it. I hope this over time changes - the assumption that it's the woman who always cooks.
What was D doing? Well, she played around the living room for a while and she slept the last hour and half of the game - sound asleep even with all of us shouting away!! now why does she awaken at every little noise when we are home?!!
