12.55 A.M.
Ganapathi and Indian team rocked the whole world.... Hyderabad for sure....
We saw it ourselves.... people were all crazy all along the roads.... dancing like hell to "theen maar" and "dho maar"... and head banging and screaming with joy at each other....
you can hear
"ganapathi bappa... moriyaaa" to
"jai jai maatha.... Bharath maatha"
it was fun shouting the phrases riding on the rocking roads....
whenever you say "ek baar, dho baar.........", there'll be a whole bunch of people to finish the sentence.
we were teaching people new phrases along our way and stopping to shout them aloud with them.....
and amongst all these, the response from strangers was the highlight...... you can go and dance with them and they would change their steps according to yours, you go and scream before a passing scooter and he would stop to shake hands and say all the best to Indian Team.
It was happpening all through the night.....
it was totally youngsters roaming at that moment but the middle aged had their share tooo.... coming to Ganesh utsav going on along with the Indian world cup celebrations, the music was all over the place and people were seen everywhere....
All of us had great fun... We could see sweat dripping from every face because of dancing.... we were rejoicing the feeling of riding in the cold with the sweat on our faces...
to most of our surprise and to add to the excitement, girls have come out in groups hiring autos.. that was some thing we didn't expect.... girls coming out in autos just to scream on the roads!!!??
Damn my cam..... it didn't work at the right moment, or i promise, this whole space would be full of photos and nothing else....
One highlight was a rally that was self organised(unknowingly) by bikers themselves that continued from Liberty, through Himayatnagar, Narayanguda and till Kacheguda... and i bet all of them were strangers to each other... i could see a 100 bikes in it..... that was huge... and we lead the rally for some time and lost contact thereafter.....
and we can never miss our city police when there are bomb blast threats and a major festival taking place..... we came across them at every junction....
we were shouting on them also and stupidly waiting for response....
they seemed to be waiting for the right moment to thrash all of us...
according to what i heard after reaching home, "lathi charges" took place at Himayatnagar and Liberty an hour later.
amonngst all this, i forgot almooost everything else...... internals gonna start from the day after and i know nothing....
head banging resulted in neck muscle cramps and
severe screaming and shouting in throat problems (2nd time this month already....)
