I had a 4 pm meeting yesterday which I said yes for without realizing the india-pak match. I had to go, so when I was sitting in the train, a middle aged lady in burkha asked me what the score was. I told her that sachin is reaching 50, she said ” allah, kaash ye 100 banaye”. I was stunned. I was told by my sister that the area around her college is a place where you shouldn’t be watching an indo-pak match. Now, I had this lady telling allah to let sachin make an 100. I was lost in my thoughts and didn’t really hear, but she was saying something about nehra and I came back to her. She told her friend that “India jeete toh mazza aajaye” I honestly don’t know what to type. I am still in awe of her spirit and … don’t have the words yet.
I knew that India would win the match. I know that just because some people created a divide, the mass knows who is right, what is safe and where they belong.
India had to win, allah was also on our side ne?
