Memories of Chepauk

Having attended every match that was played in Chepauk between 1993 and 2003 (including a Bangladesh Kenya ODI!), the stadium has a special place in my heart. There are some memories that I will treasure forever – the MRTS train rides over the cooum, the salty breeze wafting from the Marina beach,the adrenalin rush when you approach the stadium and hear the crowds , bumping into long lost pals enroute to your seats, the pleasure one gets when a cricketer waves in your general direction and a zillion others.Of late though, I don’t seem to have the enthu to want to spend a whole day in a noisy sweaty stadium. Is it a sign of a waning interest in cricket or I have become too presumptous?

I plan to write about my favourite cricketing moments in Chepauk in my other blog .And there are tons of them – a fact that prompted me to choose the subject as my topic in Mastermind India. It should be out in a week’s time.
