IPL

The IPL fever is on!!! This time in South Africa.. The Delhi Daredevils and KX1P match made me feel so good, with Delhi Daredevils washing out the other team . Commentaries from Mandira and eeks her new hairstyle.. , players, Shahrukh and Preity, the overcast South African sky makes it all perfect... This reminded me of the last year IPL washout we had here in Delhi. We got 2 free tickets from the office ... each ticket worth 1500 bucks.. gosh and we were so excited. There was a lot of hoo haa all over the place ... we discussed how exciting it will be all the time. The D-day came and we all got on to a bus. Singing and playing we reached the destination. The entries had not started so we waited for some time. Finally we got in ... The place where we were supposed to sit was supposed to be a high paid section ... However, the place was a big disappointment. It was all muddy under construction with no covers. I envied the low price seats which had covered seating areas. Anyways. We were hungry so tried to get some tea ... no tea. Finally we took our seats and soon the cloud turned black with clouds. And it started to pour... All of us ran for cover but got no place except a dirty toilet. But our spirits did not dampen... WE waited for the rain to stop and came back to the wet muddy seats... Soon the sky burst again and we ran for cover. It started raining so heavily that the match was abandoned.
No we decided to go back to our cab to go home. I was completely drenched and cold..the distance from the stadium to the cab was large and it was a long dark and wet walk ... there was water all over and it was getting cold. There was a lot of jam on the road.I gave a huge sigh of relief when I reached home. Watching it on TV from the comforts of home is so much easier.
