The aftermath,i thought,it would be...

After Team India s dramatic exit from the World cup 2007 , i thought the cricket craze in the egion would subside and the TV channels would give in their wont of aeonian telecasting of cricket programs .The craze did subside but theTV channels are telecasting even more cricket than even before. The usual respite ,that i get between two interminable cricket programs, also seems to have shrunk.To whichever sport channel i tune in to,i either see an Ex-Indian cricketer praising a 255 ball gavaskar century or India battering the Zimbabwean might in a 2001 series.I dispensed with all the ideas that i had for that afternoon and went about brwsing various channels.

Today while browsing thro various channels in search of some football,i deemed myself fortunate as i ploughed on a "DD Spots football update".Unable to conceal my excitement, at the prospect of watching something related to football in DD , i increased the volume.The report was supposed to update people about Korean footballer Park Ji sung s move to Manchester United and also Asier Del Horno s move to chelsea.

Park has now completed three full seasons at United and Asier Del Horno has left Chelsea for Valencia.And the update couldnt have come at a better tym, i thought and switched the TV off and went off to sleep.

Seriously, these Sport channels must have some mercy on other sport enthusiasts.
