GO, INDIA, GO!

The hills might be known more for football, but it is cricket which has now grown as the more popular spectator sport here. The India-Pakistan World Cup semifinal saw a slew of public screenings around Gangtok today. Many faces sported the Tricolour paint, giant flags were strung across MG Marg and every nukkad had a TV placed outside, like this one [above] on Tharo Line where Team India supporters watched the broadcast from a difficult angle and high passion. They even draped a Tricolour on the TV to underline which team they were cheering for. The pic below is of the match in progress at MG Marf. These photos were taken before the Indian batting collapse, when Sehwag and Tendulkar were still on the crease.
