World Cup

Yes, this is april 2, 2011, it is after 28 years that men in blue lift up the world cup to show to the world that India and Indians stand tall.

I am not a die hard cricket fan, i do enjoy India Pakistan clash, but anything else never bothered me. But this event just stood up and stood high. My cell started buzzing non stop and friends from all over the world, just wanted to say, " see, your India won, your team won." I always feel there is something about our DNA, we are survivers. There are some things which are bad about us too, specially Indians do not essentially know how to treat women well, but all in all as i said we are survivers.

Must say, i was also high on emotions. Its a proud moment. We do not have the means, most of the players struggle to reach the national teams, they dont essentially get the world class facilties, but in the end when they win, we all win as a nation, inspite of all odds, we stand tall. It is not just world cup for many, its recognition, pride, hard work and tribute to the master blaster for his larger than life innings in endless cricket performances; yes i am talking of none other than Tendulkar. This probably was his last world cup. This cup is a tribute to his humility, focus and goodness which showed in his character for as many as 21 years of his cricket career. No, he was never rich, famous and arrogant; he was always rich, famous, humble, perfect and lovable. No wonder, with cup he was also lifted. :)

Thanks Team India, it is your hard work and nation's prayers, we mark this year in history; we are world champions in more than one way. :)
