The 35th thing. Cricket Worldcup fever!

• Chuntu riding to college instead of taking the bus so that she can go home early.
• The HOD letting us off.
• The chairman of my mom's college declaring a half-day (Mind you the chairman is miserly when it comes to such things).
• My brother winning a ticket to the semifinals in Mohali, in some lucky draw. Chances: 400 in 400000. His ticket was worth 5k and the 1k tickets were being sold at 30k in black.
• Chubby Champion (aka Fatty) painting her arms saffron, white and green, and begging me to watch the match.
• Miss Vanity Bag watching cricket (he usually never does) in his friend's place with 10 other idiots.
• My heart racing (can't believe this is happening right now) everytime people across the streets scream hysterically, resulting in my asking my father (an avid fan) about the situation.
• Deserted streets (pity the car is not in shape otherwise I'd've tried sneaking it out).
• Now I'm wondering if Chubby Champion has snuck into the boy's hostel where they've set up a big screen.
