It was the cricket fever all over. A new format of the game was taking over the world. IPL all the way. It was cricket, cricket and only cricket on TV for some days now. So decided to see it live, on the ground. Samaresh arranged for the tickets, Bangalore Royal Challengers vs Chennai Super Kings.
Left office early, gave some lame excuse. Took the auto. Expected a traffic jam and parking problem. I was looking forward to it. Had never been to a cricket stadium before. And Chinnaswamy is one of the bigger stadia in India.
Nothing could have prepared me for the spectacle waiting there. Live music and dance. Sivamani on the drums. Teams practising on the field. Although could not see any player clearly, it was easy to make out who was who. After much wait the game began. It was nothing as seen on TV. This seemed so easy and simple. The ground looked small, the pitch short and catches easy. TV really makes thing big. As expected the home team lost. Will watch the matches on TV only. That is better.

I guess you wanted to make a point to the gentleman (knowing you, you certainly intende to make a point), whether you did right or wrong is altogether a different question.
I would put it this way, You wanted to convey a certain thing to him, were you actually able to do that?
Sometimes certain questions do not have answers.. Are these initial signs of becoming a philosopher?
Govind, u've ur commented for the wrong post. am pasting ur comment for at the previous post
Could have written more apart from the obvious... i am sure you would have observed a lot of "different" things that aren't always obvious.
Agree to the fact that the game is very simple, looks very simple in a stadium and most complicated on TV.
But your conclusion lacks something!!
