The India vs Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy final is a nightmare for me

Why does the India vs Pakistan cricket match have to be a bigger celebration than anything else in the world?

So, India defeated Bangladesh yesterday in the semi-final of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 and the entire country rejoiced. However, I didn't. Not because I hate cricket or I wasn't glad that my country qualified to the finals. But, because it means just one thing--my Sunday now is totally ruined.

If you are a cricket buff, you would know that India would now be playing against Pakistan in the finals, which is set to take place on Sunday. And it's not just any match--it is India vs Pakistan. So, no points for guessing that everyone will be glued to their television sets, including my husband, my family, and all my friends. So, there go all my Sunday plans because no one is interested in doing anything else.

You may say that I am overreacting, but you have no idea how difficult it is to survive each day, all week, buried in work, commuting to work in this God-awful heat, and meeting deadlines. The only solace people like me get is that one day off, when we are free to enjoy ourselves--no holds barred. Don't know about you, but I usually try to life my life to the fullest during the course of that one day. So, sue for making plans and dying to go out to take a break from the hustle-bustle of life.

And now that ICC Champions Trophy 2017 finals dominate the Sunday plans of everybody I know, I am left friendless. No one, not a single person that I know of is ready to provide me with their company during the weekend. In fact, when I tried to bring up the topic with my husband, all he had to say was that he can give up his life for me, but not 'the cricket match.' So, basically he has chosen sports over my incessant pleas to do something exciting together to beat the stress of the gone week.

Jealous much? Yes, I am. How would you feel if your husband chooses the men in blue over you?
