Cricket up close...

Ah yes. With the IPL bandwagon hitting the city. It was kinda difficult to go too long without bumping into one or other of the cricketers. Andrew Symonds and Adam Gilchrist were the first two that we bumped into. Unfortunately they were also the most arrogant of the lot. Didn't have the time to pose for a snap before dinner while they were still waiting to fill their plates. Seems like it was too much effort for them to stand still for a second while taking a snap. Herschelle Gibbs here though was a much nicer guy. Posed for pictures, signed a couple of autographs even though he was waiting for his dinner himself. Just goes to show how differently, different people take success. Even our very own R. P. Singh seemed to have picked up his own attitude in his short stint on the international scene. It is no wonder that there has been that little controversy with Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh of late. Enough about that though. It was great to bump into these cricketers especially cause my little brother is a big time cricket fan. It sure made his day, and that made mine.
