After nearly 6 hour journey to cover 30 km from the airport where millions of fans followed the Men in Blue, Dhoni and his boys finally made their way to the Wankhede Stadium for the felicitation ceremony. While the team was ostentatiously felicitated at the ceremony, one disturbing fact that I and almost everybody observed was the way BCCI officials took center stage by dominating the first row along with politicians. With the exception of Captain Dhoni, all the other players were relegated to the second row. Indian Politicians....!! Won't miss even a single chance of hogging the limelight.

Anyways, now that they have fulfilled a nation's dream after 24 years, rewards are raining on our national heroes. Yuvraj Singh was handed over a reward of Rs Rs 1 crore for his brilliant six sixes. The gift from sponsors Sahara is a house worth Rs 25 lakh for each of the 15 members of the team. The Baroda Cricket Association is giving a prize of Rs 11 lakh each for Yusuf and Irfan Pathan. Gujarat government is giving Rs 5 lakh each for the brothers. Then there's Porsche for Yuvraj, Rs 21 lakh from the Haryana government for Joginder Sharma and a surprise gift and Jharkhand Ratna for captain Dhoni from home state Jharkhand. List is still going on.

Anyways, already a lot has been said and written about all these happenings. But there are two things that caught my attention yesterday. Check them below -
