Crickstition

Cricket is the most worshipped religion in India. Cricket grounds have witnessed viewers from all walks of life - adults and children, actors and businesspersons. Every second person follows the game or at least distantly. It is so deeply engraved into our systems that we often fail to notice its massive influence on our actions and lingo. Everytime you said '𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 𝘫𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘪' for something you didnt understand; everytime you were greeted by a '𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯' on reaching home from a trip, everytime you snapped '𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘨𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘢𝘭𝘢' when someone tricked you into something, you've used the language of the gentlemen. Everyone has at some point had the breeze of the game, may it be when you played book cricket or hand cricket in a boring class, or stolen a glimpse of the match screening at an electronics store, or played cricket with a writing pad as the bat and a rollen handkerchief as the ball, or even being the live commentator to a match in a train compartment... Calling out to everyone who's had a whiff of the cricket fog, all of us have a story to tell, because it's not just a sport, but our way of life.
