He was just finishing up his works at the college and being his final year in the bachelors, he was taking a stroll to his mansion with his friends. This day was extra special as the underdogs, the Indian team takes on the mighty West Indies in the Third Prudential World Cup final and he was to see the match with his friends on a very questionable Television set on the reception hall of the place he was staying. The match ended and the Indian team emerged victorious, he went on rides through the empty roads of the city, celebrating the victory with his friends.

He was getting ready to go to this friend's place. All his friends were supposed to show up to see the grand finale of the tenth World Cup between two formidable sides, the Indians and the Lankans. It was the final year of his bachelors and the fact that this match would be the last which he will be witnessing with his college friends never left his mind. The match was witnessed completely with uninterrupted power supply, thanks to the TNEB. The Indians won it after 28 long years. He celebrated in his own way and took a drive with his friends through the city with his friends.
In the first half "he" refers to my dad and in the second half, "He" refers me.
Right from when I was little, my dad his own version of the World Cup winning moments and what happened and I never get tired of listening to it. His story always made me wonder what it would be like if I went through something same and never did I know, I will go through something exactly the same.
