It’s okay, boys

Posted on March 24th, 2007 by Vijay Krishna Narayanan

To the Indian cricket team:
It’s okay. We lost, so what? It’s just a game. No one died. You didn’t go around asking us to support you. It’s really our mistake that we chose to hype you up and heap pressure on you. According to some rankings, the team was 8th in the world, so we […]

Posted on March 4th, 2007 by Vijay Krishna Narayanan
