A moment when the whole Nation cherished and the whole world was looking at us...The
moment when I wasn't born
but I grew up hearing the stories about it from my father....There was joy around every time I heard it from him...Everytime I saw the pictures, I experienced happiness...but I was waiting for experiencing the
moment myself..!!!
After that moment, the journey of the Nation was joyous and in 2003, it was to reset the record once again but it didn't. I remember, during the 2003 game, I was giving my 10th boards and the final was a day before my Maths paper...Only God knows how we studied. While all this was one part, in 2007 it all ended even before it started...I was still waiting..!!!
02nd April 2011, the history is rewritten..!!!
A moment to cherish
for every coming day
A moment to celebrate
for every Indian
Win of a religion
that has no atheists
Win of a Nation
that grew with it
It unites the Nation
Every citizen fancies
one dream one victory
which came true
It happened once again
I witnessed it myself
Yet again, India won
ICC World Cup 2011
Wow..I experienced it..Now I shall tell my children about this day and I shall show them the videos and pictures of how I enjoyed the game specially amidst 1000+crowd of the same age group watching together in the College auditorium...it was the best day of my life...!!!
I never knew that one day I shall be tired of smiling...tired of cheering...tired of celebrating...tired of being happy...now this is exactly my situation...tired of smiling...as it was happening the whole day...when Zaheer and Yuvraj took the wickets and when Gambhir played one of his best innings, while Yuvi n my favorite Dhoni hitting the boundaries...wow it was LEGENDARY...!!!
The journey of the God of Indian Cricket has been a beauty...but today, the World cup added to his life...Sachin we will miss you...!!!
I think the victory was not just because of today's game...it started when the selectors actually selected
the team...It was a journey of being together as a team and carrying the single DREAM of the nation on their shoulders...and finally achieving it...!!!
Now, I am going to tell my children what it is to experience VICTORY of the NATION...!!!
the JOURNEY of a new story just begun..!!!
