Oh I just couldn't hold back the twitching in my fingertips to blog this. :)
"God in his own country", that was how one TV channel chose to hail the arrival of Diego Maradona in Kerala. After all, Kerala is called 'God's own country' and for the football crazy Keralites, football legend Maradona is no less than god.
Sitting 400 miles away from Kannur, where Maradona has landed, even I feel the excitement that he is there in Kerala. TV channels are running whole 30 minutes segments on Maradona on the occassion. People have travelled from places hours away to catch a glimpse of him in the wee hours of the morning. A young man in the airport who was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of him described it as "an indescribable feeling". There is probably no other person whose arrival can trigger such excitement and passion. Viva Maradona.
