The International hockey match starts at Bisra Munda Stadium in Rourkela, my city. The Indian hockey team plays the first match with Spain. The match starts in the evening after Sunset. Those having the strength and those who have purchased the tickets will watch the match at the stadium. Some will watch it on the TV but I have to depend on news highlights as I can't keep up until late night.
Rourkela is all decked up with lights with different groups from Odisha welcoming the teams from different countries with Odishi dance and other local events. The hockey chowk near my house is decorated beautifully.
I pray God that India wins the match. Wishing all the players all the best.
