Being Oblivious

Over the last few years, I have learnt to live with being oblivious, deciding not to do anything about it. But what happened yesterday shook me. I had just screwed up an exam (no idea when the frequency of screwing up will come down), paid a whopping 25 bucks for a below average meal I had at the mess and waited for a boring one and a half hour class to commence. All of a sudden something gets into my head and I decide I would be better off at home than the AC classroom which would only aggravate my cold. I reach home, refresh and spend an hour in trying to figure out what I should be doing. And then I realise there is an Ind vs Aus cricket match going on at Nagpur. I had stupidly missed Sehwag's 31 ball 40. Thankfully I switched on the TV just in time to watch Dhoni's wonderful innings.

I cannot remember any instance of forgetting a match India has been a part of. But I guess I have just become more oblivious.
