India has been ousted out of Champions Trophy with Australia defeating Pakistan in a breathtaking end to a superb match.
I am HAPPY..... I just let out a big whoop when I heard this. I don't have to worry about missing matches anymore when I have to attend a friend's birthday or engagement party. I don't have to dangle out of the train door so that I can catch the update on FM radio on my cell phone. I don't have to irritate anyone asking them minute-by-minute updates. Furthermore, I am happy that we Indians have saved ourselves the embarrassment of riding to the semis on the shoulders of someone else's victory (in this case, Pakistan - our arch enemy). Thank you God, we are out.
Indian Team is HAPPY.....I think I heard a distant whoop from the Indian team dressing room too. The Blackberrys are already out and ad shoot schedules over the next several days are being planned now. A new clothing brand, a new saloon to be inaugurated, a new girl to go out with, a new vehicle to be bought, parties to go, ramps to be walked. Haa... thinks much more important that cricket. Things much more important than the country and dreams of a billion people. Thank you God, we are out.
Journalists and Editors are HAPPY.... They can write up corny headlines, write big articles on how such a waste the team is, how the Indian players being cash rich don't bother to play for their country blah blah blah.... Sells the paper, earns their salaries...
Indians are HAPPY (guiltily happy)..... They can go back to their pessimism, can go back to bashing and name calling, make for great talk between strangers. Yipeeee...
So did really losing matches and being ousted out of Champions Trophy make everyone happy... I would think so.. Afterall patriotism and playing for the country is all bullshit.. Its just pure business, pure business after all.
