One would often read/hear that "nothing unites India like cricket does." And this statement was on display today. Cricket which makes a Vice President and the peon ask with equal excitement "score kya hua hai ?"; cricket which makes you frnds with the Auto-Rickshaw driver...Cricket which makes you hug people, whom you have never seen before....Cricket which makes you dance...makes you laugh...probably makes you cry as well.
Today India has won the World Cup for Twenty-20 Cricket.
And the feeling was something beyond words...Its something special...you call up your frnds..you are excited like a kid...jst everyone you see has a smile on his face...there are people dancing on the roads...music being played in full volume...people distributing sweets. What a team of 11 people does in a oval shaped groud, for the period of close to 3 hours..can bring smile on the faces of 100 crore people! Thats incredible...beyond any comparison. Needless to say...Nothing unites India..like Cricket Does.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where the words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action --
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
And as Bindesh said may this game of 22 motley colored individuals be a start point ....
Chak De India
