Location: Heaven
Date: 2nd April,2011
As their mortal followers on earth, Lords and Ladies in our heavens recently got interested in the game, Cricket. They had no other options also,cricket became the religion of modern generation,so they decided to go according the trend! From last one month,lots of discussions are going on for the forthcoming Final.Legendary seniors like Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva were not much concerned about the game,but with the request of other Lords and Ladies they decided to watch the game. Vishnudootsare granted casual leaves on the match day,as no mortal dares to die without experiencing such a high-voltage match! If somebody dies also,they will be sent to hell for indefinite period, for committing such a crime. So Yamadoots are granted only half-day leave,where they decided to work late night (much like our BPO employees,Lol!)....
So much activities are taking place from the morning. Nobody needs a giant screen to see the match,they can do it with their "Divya-drishti" ! But does that bring the feeling of watching a game in a group? Nahhhhh! So they decided to watch it directly from heaven.
Lord Varuna was ordered to clear the sky on Mumbai.......that resulted cloudy sky and drizzles in Bangalore(the clouds were sent there).
Lady Saraswati was busy painting the Tri-color on the faces of Apsaras and Gandharvas,they will play the role of cheer leaders (effect of IPL,they became fans of Knight Riders).
Lady Laxmi along with Lord Ganesh put their blessed hands on BCCI heads, resulting shower of luck and money to their fund (Now we have the answer how BCI collected such a huge amount by selling tickets!).........
Lady Parvatidecided to stay at home with her Friend. Why to take chances? If India looses the match, Lord Shiva will start the Tandava Dance,somebody should be at home to pacify him! Lady Parvati also prepared several glasses of "Bhang" to cool him down. Packets of Laddoos were already prepared, with the special request of Lord Ganesh for celebrating India's victory.
Lord Kuberdecided to work overtime on his mint for one day,he felt so much charged.......... many of his followers took part in baiting money on India's victory,so urgent cash would be needed.
Lord Kartik decided to hire a invisible jet to reach the stadium. He managed a ticket to see the match in the stadium,he wanted to be a part of that cheering,overjoyed crowd,he wanted to experience the adrenaline rush,if at all he had some!!!!!!!!!! This decision created a bit annoyance at home,but finally everything was fine!
All were set,the clock was ticking away, the final moment of preparation was at the pick.
It was 2 when Lords and Ladies assembled in Indralok in groups. This is the most convenient place to observe the game. The seniors Lords and Ladies were seated on their legendary golden thrones,with a confused expression. They could not decide till now,whether to support Sri Lanka or not, some of them worship these gods as well. But seeing the trend,they decided to keep mum. Eventually how they turned into fans of India,that's another story.
The confusion during the toss created dissatisfaction in many of them. What a bad omen! As the match started,most of them started holding the edge of their seats and bitting nails in tension. A lavish refreshment was served by Vishnudoots,but nobody was in a condition to take a bite also! With their will power, most of the batsman were gone but one, Mahela Jaywardhane. When he struck 100,Lord Indrabecame so indignant that he started searching for his Vajra,he wanted to strike him with it. Thank god,it was hired to cause destruction somewhere,so Jaywardhane was saved this time.
