Hey sorry for no update for last 5 days .. the days were not that busy this time but I was a bit lazy in updating the blog....well so much to update
Cricket diplomacy
So here we go ...
Remember the Old time Adv ... a lady saying to jadeja .."Cricket Cricket Cricket .. it is so boring ..." well at times it becomes when it gains more importance than it actually deserves ... With the blind coverage of media, even a sneeze of pakistani fan off the field is captured and covered by camera just like the ton by yousuf youhana on the field, cricket is the news for today and for some time in near future.And how come our dear politicians(from both sides of border) let this oppurtunity go from there hand.It is no longer just a Cricket series between the two rivals, it is now a show of diplomacy from the two sides ... a way to show the world how much they are interested in teaming up with the other in sorting out the matters.Is it actually coming from heart of the two nations or was it just a gesture to impress Miss Rice on her maiden visit to the subcontinent .. well u ne'er know.But on thing is clear .. the people from both sides have the intentions. .. they want peace , they want growth and most importantly they do not want any more wars .The people who (at the behest of this series) got the oppurtunity to visit there birthplaces elated by the very fact that they had once played in those by lanes.
Well here is a message for our rulers .. if they really want to bridge the gap between two nations , then lets start from small ... lets us setup a committee ,with delegates from both the country, to identify the things which will be beneficial to both the countries ... like a Cotton & sugar export between the two nations and then move onto more co-operative things like a joint Olympic team and so forth.The rationale behind is that , the poison of hatred which had somehow got into our hearts should be removed in small steps if we want to really unite the two nations.I am not saying it is impossible .. not at all when the coutries like West & east germany can unite after World War or the European Union (where the countries have distinct cultures,languages & socio-economic interests) .. what I want to point is that we are no robots whose memory can be cleaned in no time... what we want is some time to forget the past and invest ourselves in mutual development programs to enhance the confidence level & trust among us.

It's a nice thought himz...India and pak together; no fights over land or temple or hatred over religion.
But together as one nation in olympics? That is something hard to digest. And i believe at this point in our relationship it's something unthinkable and unwanted perhaps.
I think the culture of the split German nations was similar if not same. I'm not saying that it was easier for them to combine into one...what i'm trying to say is that those two countries had been working towards that common goal for as longs as a few generations could remember. They had no other major fueds. Whereas, India and pak...you tell me!!
