Whatta Match - RCB vs MI

Whatta Match Today!

You Park in Residency Road due to Traffic....Walk down to Chinnaswamy... You enter Gate 13 and 3 minutes later BOOOM!!! A minute later an injured guard walks up all bleeding .. He is taken in a stretcher and he collapses!

Then you enter the stadium and you find yourself the only one cheering for MI amidst all the RCB fans!
An agonizing wait for the toss and the match to start; in between all the calls from friends & relatives (we love you all!).
Damn you AirTel, my GPRS wasn't working.... was planning for some FB activity.
Finally at 4.50 some action on the field. Wowww - I saw the legend batting! There was something to cheer about in Ist innings while MI batted.... We cheered all the 3 drop catches and all the sixes and fours!
In the break, we got a free (and decent - better than Office caterer) meal which we tried to gobble up as somebody reserved the seats for us while we ate - Thanks Rakshith! By the time we were back, RCB innings started and there was nothing much to cheer about...We were tired of the shouting and we were hoping the match got over soon!

Finally came out of the stadium around 8.20 ( through gate 12 - where the blast occurred) and started our journey back to the car while "Indra Dev" welcomed us with a few drops of relief! In between we did hear the rumors of a few more bomb explosions and diffusion! Seems like one more exploded at AK circle and another one was diffused at Gate No. 8.


Thumbs up to all the Guards who kept their patience and let the match take place.
Thumbs down to all those who tried to disrupt the match! (Were they hoping RCB gets 1 point out of the game :-p ?)
