Some lighter moments of Twenty20
"Pappa, poora match dekhne do naa aaj!!" (from 9.30 pm to 1 am or so!). This was the line from my elder son and the occasion was India-England T20 match! He was very much concerned about India that day! Although, being his 'Half Yearly' these days in school, I said, "Theek hai!". When England were playing their last overs, he said (being irritated), "England ko to harna hai, yeh hamein bhi marwaegi" "Why?" "NRR (Net Run Rate) ki problem ho jayegi India ko agle match mein!". I said "leave it yaar! aaj jeetne to de, baad ki baad mein dekhenge!"
Now, India-South Africa!! Being allowed to watch the full match again, my son asked, "Pappa, Yuvraj chhai (6) chhakke maar sakta hai?" (after he hit 4 sixes) "Sure, he will" and that's it! I wished two more things in that match 1) Rohit Sharma's Half-Century and 2) One good over from Joginder Sharma. One was fulfilled in the last over of Indian batting but not the other one

I wanted this because both of them are newcomers and these wishes will highly motivate them. "Pappa, mae chahta hoon ke India-Pakistan ka final ho, aapko kya lagta hai??" "Hoga yaar, chinta matt kar".
Actually, my son is so much apprehensive during the matches that I have to support him every now and then (and sometimes - khamkhah)! (My 'this' son - who is wholeheartedly with Indian team and knows all the records etc. of cricket - is barely 16 years and in 11th std.)
Again, here's the mini-judgement day - India-Australia match. Whole of my family is watching! He asked me after 5 overs of Indian batting, "Aap ko kya lagta hai - India ke 150 ban jayenge?" My innerself said, "170 bete, chinta matt kar". While Australians started batting, I said "Lakshay, mujhe Australians last over mein 'struggle' karte dikh rahe hain!" (only to support my son and be himself 'tension' free!). "Pappa suno - Gilchrist aur Hassy bahut khatarnak player hain inke, hamare bowlers ko 'dho' ke rakh denge". I simply said, ''Dhone ke liye to 'Dhoni' hai - Gilchrist ki 'Gilli-Danda' bana denge arr 'Hansi tae Phansi'!! Again, "Inka to 'Brett Lee' bhi batting kar leta hai"! "Tension hai kya bete????"
Now - after the match was over - both of my sons (the other one is 11 years!) are trying to whistle, while one finger and the thumb in their mouths

But haven't succeeded

Why did they tried so?? Hey-Hey!! Just because I whistled it the same way!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, Mr. Lakshay again asked me, "Pappa, kal office jaaoge?" "Haan! Kyon?" "Kal 5 baje shuru hoga final aur waise bhi kal koi bhi office nahin jayegaa final ke chakkar mein" "Toh" "Aap bhi kal office matt jao naa!!!!!" "!!??????!!" "OK, Done bete" "Waise aap ko kya lagta hai - kal India jeet jayegi???" "Arrey, jitti padi hai - chinta manna karae!!!!"
Chak De India!!
