Neel’s ‘Indianness’ and the cricket connection

We will be in India for a couple of weeks later this month. Since our visit coincides with the IPL 3, I told Neel that we will try and take him to watch a game at a ‘real stadium’. Looks like that game will be the Mumbai Indians v/s King’s XI Punjab game on the 30th of March at the Brabourne stadium.

Ever since, Neel simply can’t control his excitement— he is eagerly awaiting a glimpse of Sachin Tendulkar and his favorite player ‘Sardarji’ (Harbhajan Singh). The other day, he was out cycling and I overheard him say to a group of boys a couple of years elder to him, “When I go to Bombay, I will watch cricket in a real stadium!”. (…pity, the other kids didn’t quite share his enthusiasm; in fact, one of them was outright dismissive: “why should I care?” he asked)

Anyway, Neel is really working himself up for the game at the historic Brabourne stadium. “I will wave the India flag….. and I will also paint my face with orange, white, green and the chakra….!”  For somebody who keeps saying “Singapore is our country” and asking me everytime he sees something on India on TV “that is your country, right?”, I am glad that at least cricket is instilling the sense of Indianness that everything else we do, hadn’t. 

The IPL tickets are certainly worth it!
