All about IPL night and losing the bet

This was the second time I was losing a bet with my friend Shweta.. The first time we betted on one of the RCB vs MI league match and I supported RCB to loose the bet and she went away with my 10 rupees ka note :) I did not mind losing that bet to her..was happy that she kept it safely as a mark of her victory by making a note on that note :)
Since we are talking about the IPL match…how can I forget to mention the semi final match b/w MI and RCB which I was able to watch at the D Y Patil stadium, navi Mumbai.on 21st april.
My teammate Anup came over to me the previous day of the match and posed this question ‘coming for the match tomorrow?’ I did not have a second opinion. How often I do get a chance to watch a match in Mumbai?...that too a semifinal b/w RCB and MI and more importantly watch Sachin play. So we 6 guys had a memorable time traveling to and fro in qualis, listening to some melodious songs all the way….
The stadium was mind blowing..with a capacity of close to 60,000 people..and the atmosphere was awesome..with lots of DJ music and the crowd yelling at the top of the voice all the time. Yes, we also yelled whenever we saw Sachin, whenever a MI wicket fell, whenever a RCB’ian hit a boundary. And believe me guys..its not easy to be among the minority of supporters..we 6 guys were cheering for RCB and getting sandwiched b/w all blue MI supporters, comments and sometimes some ugly ones coming from all directions...it was like testing our patience to stay calm by not getting into any sort of arguments..but at the end of the day it was fun..we all took it in a good sporting spirit ..and we enjoyed the limelight, being one among few of the RCB supporters..with 4 among us wearing RCB jersey alongwith a couple of RCB flags..and making jugalbandi of whistles and all sorts of innovative sounds attracting even more crowds towards us :)
We were disappointed to see RCB loose without much fight and even sachin did not bat well..But the highlight of the day was Deepika Padukone. Just a couple of days before this day I had seen this movie ‘Love Aaj Kal’ after my friend recommended to watch it and was actually impressed by Deepika’s character in that….Before the match, when we went through the entrance gate of the stadium, we saw a small crowd gathering around an adjacent practice ground. A helipad was about to land in that ground and we were sure that some celebrity would be coming out from it. And guess what.. Siddharth mallya followed by deepika stepped down and they were walking towards us. The spot where we were standing was not crowded and few security guys were just trying their best to watch out the crowd but even they are humans rite..hehe..so few of them were busy clicking pics..and we poor guys had left our cameras and phones in the car itself since it was not allowed inside the stadium. When deepika walked past me I went speechless to say the least ..she was looking stunning :) …the next few days I kept on telling people whom I met about this incident and you should have seen some of those ‘really?? waala’ reaction :)
After the match we still being in the limelight were booed and cheered by people while walking out of the stadium and while travelling back in the car as well..once a car full of young girls zoomed past us and they made all sorts of strange noises waving frantically at us..making it look like we were those RCB guys who played and lost the game :)
We reached pune safely at 4 in the morning….
Yesterday after the finals I was not happy that I’ am at the loosing end again for the second time in the bet .. MI lost..the same team which had won against RCB the other day and I had lost the bet then...so here I’ am waiting when I have to hand over another 10 rupee note to my friend :)
