Cricket

It is ingrained into the DNA of every Indian. We have no choice, we are ONLY good at THIS SPORT (it's starting to change now).
These bases have DADA-bonding. It joins two bases with one. Ind-genius.

It's assumed to be abnormal if you don't know anything about cricket. An outcast, an alien are some names that these people are called. Even though you might be not up to date with the current events of the cricketing world but everyone will some idea about how the Indian team is performing. The rare ones who don't know will be marginalized.
Akhil(the one crying) said that Harsha Bhogle played for India during the 90s. His friends lost their shit.
Currently, everyone knows everything about Kohli: How he shits, how he eats, his Kudli and how Anushka breaths around him (Talking about Anushka, their marriage was a crossover episode of the infectious cricket and the shameless Bollywood media, it was a great orgasm for the editors) It's beautifully summed up in this picture.

The true face of Indian cricket can be seen in th Maidans of Mumbai. I went to play in Azad maidan once and I was in awe by the size of the place. It had 22 cricket grounds. I saw kids as young as 6-7 year old playing cricket seriously. These kids have decided that their life is going to be cricket. They go to the Maidans to play train all day and night while at the same time I was learning how to not to shit in my pants. It was inspirational and a little bit concerning to me. It's just a game, right? Not for them at least. These kids are the real example why cricket is considered a religion in India.

We take great pride in our talent in Cricket. We are considered to one of the best teams in the "world". We have been world champions...Wait a minute... Is it fair to be called world champions if only 10 teams play? Weird. At least it is better than American baseball, they call it "World series"... "World"

*chuckles*

Don't take me as a hater. I love the game, I still play it to this day. If there was a sport I would like to play before I die, this would be it. You'll find me playing cricket (proper, not the tennis ball bullshit) 5-6 times a week in college. It's the only sport I have some sort of talent in. Until class 10 I wanted to play cricket professionally.But then studies and reality hit me (I wasn't that good and my fitness was shit) and I left my cricket coaching classes for the JEE ones (That's another review).

During cricket matches everyone becomes Harsha Bhogle. They'll bullshit their way through the entire match. Their thinking process is simple as shown below:

Put the "a" before Millionaire. My English is bad enough.

Even the commentators leave nothing behind, they are the world champions in being "CAPTAIN OBVIOUS". Especially the Hindi commentators, people who don't know Hindi are spared from the ear-bleeding commentary they concoct. I am looking at you Akash Chopra...


Rating: 10/10=1=1/10. I'm sorry, I can't turn my back on the sport that has given me so much pleasure. East or West, Cricket is the best.

Local Trains

This is what happens when something is too cheap. Can you see a train? I see a human centipede A train travel's quality depends on 3 factors: Space in the compartment Number of people Cheapness of ticket It seems while maximising 2 and 3, they completely forgot about 1...like completely. How is it physically possible to fit so many people into such small spaces? (No " that's what she said" jokes) The only other place I have seen so many living creatures in a single place is a bee-hive. It is amazing to see how people get perplexed by the sight of other passengers fit into an already Indian  filled train cabin (you know it's a quite a lot if it is Indian filled), it looks like they go into some other dimension... Who thought the gateway to some other dimension would be some local train station 40 km from Kolkata? It seriously feels like living in an armpit. We'd give the game "Plague Inc" a good run for their money by ac...

Chappals (Sandals)

Image
It's a bikini for your feet.   " Look at that *insert derogatory   terms  to demean feet* "                                 Chappals are comfortable to wear whilst keeping your feet dry and cool. However, it's more than that. They grow into your feet. In hot and humid (basically Indian) conditions, these dinguses are very suitable. No other accessory bonds with your body like a chappal, it's almost like a "mother hugging" your feet.  The oldie but goldie Chappals                                                           (Sidenote:National Footwear, eh?) Chappals: They are Cheap... (Because it consumes less material to make) comfortable to wear Healthy for your feet The only pro...

Bis-kut

Image
No, I refuse to spell it as "biscuit". You only get the emotion when you say bis-kut.  Without it, all evening snacks would be... I don't know what to say, I have never had just plain chai.... ever. Let's just say it is blasphemous to do so. Their coupling would topple the popularity of Viruksha, easily. (Although, not as cute) Saath janam taak ek saath But you can have bis-kut alone, any time of the day, anywhere in the world. It is sort of a universal food, (kind of like Maggi) and it takes no effort to make... because it is pre-baked. But unfortunately, they don't possess the power (or the nutritional value tbh) to be a meal (if you brave enough, it can be, not advised). I once had one entire packet of bis-kuts for dinner because there wasn't good food in the mess... My stomach disagreed with the choice of food, and a few hours later gave me a piece of its mind. My stomach after gulping 2 packets of dry mari-gold There is a clear cut met...
