Cricket

Stupid addictive game! Daridra...

What with our "young and dynamic" team lifting the T20 World Cup (and heavy suitcases of chaching! also), cricket fever is well n truly here..

But one segment of the society has traditionally been against this captivating sport..Specifically, it taking up substantial TV time! Aha good guess mah friend...The moms in the houses...

Somehow, with them, the josh is never at the same level as the males in the family...Maybe they don't appreciate the beauty, the art, the small technicalities or the rather embarrassing and funny Sreeshanth histrionics!

I had a chance to run into a living exception to this rule monn monne...After supplying me with some yummy gas gase payasa, she kindly reported the score; And as I was heading towards the front door, she watched an Aussie batsman execute a rather crafty fine sweep towards the usually vacant fine leg region and exclaimed :

"Ayyo yaaaaaaaru illa alli fielders...Idanna nodtaa iddre naane hogi fielding maadana ansatte!"
(Ayyo noooooobody is there fielders...This if i keep seeing let me only go and do fielding i feel)

Rather cute, what!?
