Abhishek was an ardent "ManU" fan. From what I know, he started following football and siding with ManU in the early years of his engineering. It was a big thing in college and he also got exposed to it.
It was one of his passions, he could talk about it to no end. Every football match with ManU in it was naturally accompanied with a lot of noise and exclamations. Occasionally this would happen in the mess in the Old Hostel, so much so that I could hear the noise in my room on the first floor. It would annoy me a little, especially if it were around a test or exam. Of course, when it came to ManU, he didn't care for anything else. He'd watch each and every match, no matter what weather or what time or what day. After a long day of classes, I'd be totally drained and he would still go and watch the match. Amazing stamina, I would say to him.
On the night before the fateful Sunday, he went to watch a ManU match. ManU was trailing 0-2 before half time but ultimately won 5-2. He was ecstatic! He was also telling me that his football mania seems to be spreading, that Anshul follows scores and sometimes mentions about a match. It made him happier that he could get his friend involved in something he so obviously enjoyed so much. Suddenly he paused and said that his throat hurts, I asked why, what did you eat? He said that he didn't eat anything, he just screamed too loudly in the match and his throat is now sore... !!!
On Wednesday, ManU defeated Arsenal 1-0. I suppose there is another match ManU vs Arsenal this week. Let's see how it fares.
I am sure that he is cheering on in his loudest voice from wherever he is. I cheer on from here... Go Gullu!
P.S. - Pardon me if I got any facts wrong. I don't follow football or ManU.
