Despite all the anticipation, excitement, prayers, wishes and hopes...
We won the World Cup 2011!!
Or rather Team India won it for us...
It was quite an incredible win following which there was a furore on the Indian streets...
It was 12.00 am and the crowd pulled out of their homes with waving flags dancing on the streets with strangers.
Vendors gave fruits and chocolates free. My dad told me that the fellow at the soup stall did not earn a penny on Sunday because he was happy that India won the Cup!
Every single heart was filled with joy and felt itself to be the World Champion!
The following two days one could find people crazily still screaming Indiaaaaaa Indiaaah!!
Thanks to the Boys, it wasn't less than a Fever!!
It simply showed that We Indians are more than a crowd when it comes to Cricket..
I am of the view that if the same unity, stance and decisiveness is shown in other fields where it is actually needed, India would be far ahead indeed!
May be something we all had dreamed of, but could never see...
I just hope for the furore to reveal again...
In the eyes of women who are assaulted at home or molested outside.
In the work of employees being drained at work.
In the opinion of youngsters who think nothing can be changed.
In the decision of people who are forced to do things they don't want to.
In the self reliance of those who are rendered dependent.
In the ideas of Gen X and Y who are denied new beginnings.
In the Voice of India against everything that pulls it down!
Just a little ignition required and we would see our country as a place we would never want to leave, where every heart would want to be...
That would be the time for real celebration!!
Of course no one can stand alone...
But we can all make our small starts..
Go India!!
Cheers!
God Bless!!
