A MATCH TO REMEMBER

Tum jeeto ya haroo, suno…

Hamay tumse pyaar hy….

Well as far as I remember, it was the only day of my life when I was vowing to shed even last drop of my blood for my dearest homeland and die for my country. It was so happening that I was not alone having these feelings, I had 170 million people with me sharing the same feelings. We were dying for winning a cricket match which was going to be started in some days, then in some hours and finally in few seconds.

As the match started and as we saw the face of Our Respected Prime Minister, the bad luck started with the moment. As he was present in the stadium for the whole day then how it is possible that luck for green team could stay there.

The whole Bollywood stars were there, Amir Khan who uses to be the heart beat of our nation was there too. Cheering for Indian team, he gave the actual feelings of animosity between us. The difference between these STARs and us became prominent.  

Obviously it was the bad day for Pakistan. Pakistan couldn’t win the match. It should not have to be the matter of life and death or pride and insult. It was only a game which became a war with the hype created by media from both sides. What was the big deal if Pakistan lost; someone had to be defeated in the end. But we were insulted that day because we ourselves made it a matter of prestige.
