I'm watching a cricket match after years, not taking after Momania who's a HUGE cricket fan.
I used to play cricket every other day with the boys down my road.Until the day they realised I was a girl and stopped playing with me.

We also used to play 'Paper plate cricket'.KG's in the making.Roll up a ball,run to the kitchen and pick up an eversilver plate and get the entire Amra family together along with some extra fitting friends.We used to assemble in any vacant room in the house.Fielders were all over the place.Behind the TV,standing on the bed and some even near the door risking it being opened onto their faces, but then again..the things we do for cricket.The rules were simple.A four when you hit the wall and a six when you hit the ceiling.We used to breeze through the game but for the small hiccups when the paper ball used to tear or just neatly unfold itself.

There was this one match where my cousin next door(Yes..the 6 foot hulk from Venketeshwara) and my elder sister sobbed over.It was a World cup match.If you guys could remind me which one it was, it would be nice.

My mother is a HUGE fan.She used to make us sit down with a notebook and pen and ask us to draw dots for the number of runs the other team scored.And everytime India scored a run,we had to circle it.That used to be the highlight of the game for me.Momania was talented.She can scream,yell,shriek,cry and gasp all in one go.Especially when her 'Sachin Baby' 'Sachin Kutty' 'Sachin Kanna' comes onto the field.And then there were the superstitions.If a wicket went when someone entered the room, the person was never allowed in again because everything that went wrong in the match was only his/her fault.And the position we were sitting, sleeping or standing in had to maintained.Even if some unfortunate person ended up being upside down that second,he would remain that way till the end of the match.

I hate test matches.But I'm finally watching one.After all,Irfan's got himself a nice hat trick in the opening over of the match.Why does Dhoni's hair look orange?Perhaps it got 'sunburnt' ala TJ style.

Tubby's due in ten days.She's got herself a nice fat belly and eats anything.We don't have to tear out bread sides for the finicky spoilt pest anymore.Heated arguments are all over the house to which part of the house she's going to give birth in.My insensitive younger sister wants us to give it to the vet and bring her back with her babies after a week.My father and I have secret plans between ourselves to keep a puppy.Both mother and sister have threatened to leave and move to a hostel.Now he wants to keep two back.
Mwahahahaha.
Now I know where my evil side comes from..

Sigh...
