Football fever in Kochi
As the floodlights slowly lit up the Jawharlal Nehru stadium in Kochi, the white(Delhi) and brown(Kerala) engage in a fierce tussle of football.
For 43 minutes.
That was when Kerala struck the first goal. The second(a great one off a penalty) and the third one soon came along, and God's Own Country had won 3-0.
Watching football in a football-crazy state is an unique experience. I was able to get the experience yesterday, at the Santosh Trophy held in Kochi.
Right from the start when the 'zeebra' cheergirls danced to the 'Dhoom' number till the very last minute, it was an action-packed game. And, when Kerala plays, and better, wins, you'll know what kinda atmosphere would have prevailed.
Ate at our professor IG's house in Kochi, caught the 10 o clock bus and was here by midnight. Was feeling very tired and so didn't blog yesterday.
