After a long time I watched the cricket match between men in green and men in blue. It was an enjoyable match. For a change the jingoism was absent, at least on the field. The pressure on the two teams was enormous. But both sides played well and of course made mistakes. And the one who made lesser won the match. The guest team accepted the defeat graciously. I am very happy that I did not feel the same as I did during earlier matches between India and Pakistan(which to say the least, was nothing less than jingoism !). Yesterday I wanted India to win to enter the finals not because the opponent was our estranged neighbour. I feel this is a positive change and soon it will reflect as a change in the attitude of the nation. I strongly believe in-hum chale to hindustan chale(a superb advertisement by TOI group ) ! Last thing we should be doing is wasting our energy and resources fighting our neighbours(I agree the fault lies much more on their part). shall continue it in the next blog-hum chale !
