Now traveling from Cochin to Alapuzzha seems a good time to try and catch up on missed days.
Arriving to Nagpur from a arduous train journey, where keeping an eye out for luggage thieves doesn't allow for a peaceful sleep meant that day was going to be easy going.
We got to the apartment if our friend, freshened up and put our feet up. Being in Nagpur you see the vast difference between Nagpur and anywhere in Gujarat. It's a lot cleaner, you don't find dust flying everywhere. Being tired and with India-South Africa playing the next day we called it a night a bit early.
Kyazoonga have been quite pathetic through out the tournament and that wasn't to be the end of it. En route to the stadium I was checking my email and found an email from kyazoonga which I received the night before telling us the tickets were to be collected from the old VCA Stadium, something which had not been made clear to us earlier. Had I not checked my email we would never have been able to make it to the new stadium, back to the old and finally back to the new stadium in time for the match.
Arriving at the stadium we were expecting a long wait like Bangalore, but common sense prevailed somewhere along the way and all gates were open unlike the 1 at Chinnaswamy.
It was early afternoon and getting pretty hot, so we bought some drinks and went to park our behinds only to find out we had to finish our drinks before we entered!!
Booking our seats for this match, we went for some in the higher range expecting better views, but we ended up in the hospitality section and what a downer that was. The stand was full of rich tossers who couldn't give a shit about the cricket and were only there coz someone got them tickets to suck up to them or just to show their faces as it was the place to be. Continuous efforts to get the crowd chanting to boost our players failed. Never again. With tickets for the Semi-Finals in the hospitality section, I'm hoping someone will wanna switch with us.
A disappointing game which too many failures on India's part led me to believe choking is contagious.
Though another Sachin Tendulkar 100 provided some joy on an overall disappointmenting day.
In search of food after the match we headed to Hotel Centre Point and it seemed many others had done the same, as the restaurant was packed out.
Dinner was brilliant and mocktails were refreshing, even though the service was a bit slow.
Food in Nagpur was divine, the following night we ate at Raj Darbar which was just as scrumptious. So from my limited stay in Nagpur I conclude Nagpur has the best food
