Me (on phone to the boyfriend): So from all the screaming in the corridor I deduce India won?
The boyfriend: !! It was a tie!
(Silence)
The boyfriend: Strauss! Sachin! Munaf!
Me (simultaneously): I finished The Finkler Question.
(even more awkward silence)
Me: Hey, I'll call ya back in 2 min
(promptly logs in to twitter and checks timeline)
Me: Hello again! So, did you hear Shane Warne predicted a tie?
The boyfriend: No kidding? Wow!
Me: And Munaf's last over, huh?
The boyfriend: I know! It was gut-wrenching!
(smiles at both ends)
Thank you, Twitter!!
