Question: What can you infer about a manual labourer in the United States?
Answer: Mexican immigrant. Illegal or “legalized”. Quite appropriate to the job he performs, his name is most likely to be Manuel Perez or Manuel Fernandez or Manuel Ramirez or Manuel Cortes or Manuel Sanchez. You are most certain to see Manuel shopping with his latino family (wife, six kids, wife’s pretty sister and wife’s mother) at a Mexican supermarket. (There are more to the shopping party but you just cannot take your eyes off Manuel’s wife’s sister and you quit counting)

Question: Why would six half-baked characters incuding yours truly (and at least another 200 million back in India) pay up extra to the cable guy and wake up religiously at 3:00am to watch cricket matches being played by India in the Champions Trophy, only to be dished out the traditional imbecilic Indian act of dropping down dead even before the enemy has called for war?
Answer: All because of the unrelenting (and quite irrational) optimism that Indians harbour about the capabilities of the Indian cricket team.
