The World Cup is over

Hello Hello Hello...

April 1st 2011, Nation waiting for their Captain

I am back... after a huge gape of World Cup... was some how exciting loved the fact that Pakistan was out of the tournament just 2 days before the tournament ended, would have been more exciting if we had had lost in the final... Lolz. Why am I thinking of loosing?? we might have won the WC if we had reached the final... anyways we lost and not due to the fact that we played badly but that India played better... I had received many messages through out the India Pakistan Semi Final (which I had anticipated) but the one's I enjoyed the most were the one's received after our defeat.... I would like to share some with you...

Messag 1: Ya Allah Kal Pakistan ke liye jo kuchh Parha gaya, aur jitni duain maangi gaeen uska sawab meri dadi ko Pohanche...(Hilarious) I salute the person's approach, not only did he accepted the fact that we are out of the tournament but he had that courage to laugh at our foolishness to pray for a Cricket Match which is only a game of professionalism.

Message 2: Misbah abhi tak pitch per khara hai aur poochh raha hai k doosri innings kub shru hogi?? Lolz... Please some one tell Misbah that it was an ODI and not a Test Match.

PAK VS INDIA: The match we lost, but celebrated the most.

Message 3: (Received after India won the World Cup). "Allah Kare World Cup Toot Jaaye" I enjoyed the 1st one and this one the most... what an innocent curse... since our team and any team else couldn't do anything to stop the Indian march towards the World Cup, the prayer asks the Lord to break the trophy into pieces since he cannot bear the sight of Indians holding the trophy... I really enjoyed the Pakistani spirit to digest our defeat, rather India's success in the tournament. Almost all of us appreciated our teams efforts to reach the Semi Final stage. I didn't anticipated this sensible approach from our nation. I can say this with such confidence because I was there at the Karachi airport on the 1st of April when Afridi had to arrive from India... 4 AM in the morning and such a huge crowd for a captain who has lost a World Cup Semi Final that too against INDIA.... I spent almost 2 hours there at the airport... (No I was not there for Afridi, Afridi's arrival was a co incidence for me, I was there to welcome my would be father-in-law and Afridi's arrival was a bonus for me) there were hundreds of youngsters yelling "BOOM BOOM AFRIDI" wearing green T Shirts with their names on the back. They were there to welcome their captain, they were there to see just a glimpse of him, and they were there just to let him know that they support him, for all his wins and all his DEFEATS... I enjoyed the moment... The realization of the fact that my nation is sensible enough to accept the defeats (and that too the hardest ones) was phenomenal. I really loved those youngsters. This Wold Cup has taught us the lesson which we couldn't have learnt with out the defeat and that was "IN ORDER TO WIN, YOU MUST LEARN TO ACCEPT YOUR DEFEATS "
