Saturday 19 June...we went to a suburban shopping mall in mumbai,for the same thing as always...Window shopping and to get out of the weekend sleep.... Don't know what happened but that place was so crowded...we had something to eat in the food court..but the very next thing required , a place to sit and have that stuff was nowhere ,the place was jampacked...it felt lyk dis planet is shrinking.Thats why this average no of people per sq km is increasing.....and to make the matters worse was India vs Pak ODI...people were there to have glimpse of that too... Had to search a lot but couldn't find a place to be on..so started having the food stuff standing at a corner...but all that turned to a pleasure when the match turned hot..bhajji hammerred Aameer for a six..and it was all india...we won that match b 3 wick's....the roar in the crowd was like anything else...That moment had thrill throguh my body..and as always i again felt PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN!!!!
