A mixed day - Steelers won:) India lost:(

Yesterday was a day of mixed feelings, India lost to Pakistan in cricket by 7 runs. I knew after the last test match that we had a dim chance but I know India has the potential. Perhaps, they get nervous when they play Pakistan...whatever the reason, we have to accept that the team these days is not performing too well, damn! We could get a series match ticket at our school for $25, but I guess with this kind of team performance, they are not worth so much time...Tendulkar plays, the team wins was the motto of the Indian cricket team and ICC for long. Sachin hit a century yest, so what; Pakistan had a Salman Butt on their side. Anyways, that was the sad part.

The good thing is that Steelers won the Super Bowl! We are the world champions now! It was all crazy outside on the roads; the South side had everybody on the streets with beer in their hand and slogan on their lips...The station square area again was blocked for the crowd on the streets. Happy people, honking on the streets; it reminded me of Bombay. Saw the match at a freinds' place with a gang of Steelers fans to keep company, chakli and chips and moong to munch on, paav bhaji for food; and the atmosphere could not have been better.
