Just had quite an unnecessary 'fight' with a close cousin of mine but it's left a really bad taste in the mouth and I don't know how to put it right now.
I'm Indian. A couple of days ago, during the Cricket World Cup final, I thought India were going to lose and texted her that we were going to lose. I was also really disappointed and let my disappointment get the better of me by saying that we only play one sport and we can't even be the best at that. Later when we won, I was over the moon, naturally as I was supporting India.
So today, we were chatting on Facebook and she tells me that she was pissed off with me the other day when I said we were going to lose and was even more pissed off that I 'happily changed sides' later on. I explained that I didn't 'happily change sides', I was always supporting India but thought they were going to lose the match at one point. I tried to change the subject then by giving her the link to a funny youtube video. She however persisted. She said 'So what, there were so many people who thought we were going to lose, they still supported the team. You're like the media, you support the team only when we're winning'. I have exams going on at the moment which I'm extremely tense about and this just set me off. I had a real go at her, told her how I support the team and follow cricket ardently for the past fifteen years almost and am not a fake fan like the huge number of fake fans who crop up during a World Cup. I told her that atleast I express my true feelings and don't put up statuses on Facebook to seek attention(which she does).
Now she got really pissed off as well. She sent me a message on Facebook saying ' Attention-seeking? this is coming from a guy who puts up his sob stories on a student forum(TSR). also, its better to seek attention by putting up facebook statuses rather than pretending to be a cool british teen when you're actually a indian native.' She also went on to call me immature.
