You feel goosebumps. I remember our school days when the canteen kaka had a radio set in his pocket. And after every class got over, someone from our class used to ask, "Score koto?"

That one piece of stale bread never tasted better. India had won! ~ Suranya

11 Women in Blue Against "Ladki ho cricket nahi samjhogi." "Ladki hoke khelna chahti ho?" "Ladke naam roshan karte ladkiyan nahi." "Ladki ho ghar samhalna seekho." "Ladkiyon ka koi haq nahi sapne dekhne ka" You won over them all. #BleedBlue - Suranya
