20-20

Fans hanging precariously on medians, gates and window-sills,
Acrobatics outside television showrooms.

Drivers slowed buses to a crawl to read the score
Crackers made feverish sales.

Mysterious illness afflicted office goers who stayed at home,
Brothers' phones disappeared into oblivion

One pal walked into the loo and lo....Sreesanth magicked the wicket.
Lock the lucky fella in the wash room! A divine spot to pray for deliverance.

Women gave up soaps and served curd rice.
the boys needed all the prayers.

Dead silence after the last over,
we were still catching our breath.

And then a wave broke,
My thiruvanmiyur pal mistook it for a tsunami!

Colour, cracker, cheer and cricket bats celebrated.
Team India won 20-20!
