I'm amused and surprised by the amount of time,money and energy that Indians (and the nation in total) wastes on Cricket !
First they pick them and put the cricketers on their heads.., making them celebrities and superstars, doing Poojas and Havans (the jaws of my colleagues in US just dropped when they heard this !!). The media and the press and the companies have made cricket an Industry.
Why is a sport so god-damn important for us ? Will these "cricket-fanatics" put their time in some community service or protesting the corrupt politicians ?
