Diwali went by and frankly speaking, it was not as enjoyable as it usually is.
The only enjoyable part was going to a place called ‘Champahati’ to get the crackers. Not that there was anything special about the place and neither did we get any amazing crackers there. Basically what happened was that I heard that one could get good crackers out there and that we can go to that place by local train. That was enough for Varun and me to try that place. We had no idea of what kind of place it would be, what would we get there, how would we get back, etc. Basically it was a sort of a mini-adventure – another attack of craziness and it was this feeling of craziness that I really enjoyed.
In fact this time I wasn’t waiting for diwali as much as the day after diwali – India vs. Pakistan at the Eden Gardens. Though India lost, it was a wonderful experience. The electricity in the atmosphere is breath taking. It cannot be described in words. One has to be there to know what the feeling is to be there. The Mexican waves are just wonderful. Thousands of people rising in series one after the other is an awe inspiring sight. The noise, the frenzy, the madness – it feels as if one is in a different world altogether, the real world outside is forgotten for that period of 7-8 hours. That is what is most special about watching a match at Eden Gardens.
Well I don’t have much more to write now… more later…
