We Indians can do it....

India celebrated wonderful and most memorable victory of Cricket World Cup. Indeed it is a matter of pride and honor to win the World Cup and that too after 28 long years. Cricket is the game closed to the heart of every Indian and so the cricketers are treated as Celebrities. They are part of everyday life of almost all Indians. I am sure all the Indians must have prayed a lot to win the World Cup. The cricket fever was really high in the country. How can I forget the final match? There was a curfew like situation everywhere. Everybody watching it was on the edge of their seats, keeping fingers crossed and praying. And when that magical moment of winning the World Cup came the real celebration started all over. The sky was covered with the fire crackers. People were on the streets. They were shouting, cheering, dancing and were moving from here & there. The celebration was much bigger than any festivals of India. Their joy & happiness were overwhelming. They didn't know what to do & how to celebrate. What came to their minds they did. And why not??? It was a victory of the game which is closest to their hearts. being an Indian an a cricket fan, I was very happy to see India winning the World Cup. These were the most memorable moments.

Every Indian deep in their heart wanted to win this World Cup just for one person- the God of cricket who holds many records on his name but was never part of the winning team of the World Cup. Yes...Sachin Tendulkar was one of the main reasons why every Indian wanted India to win the World Cup. He is an Icon. He is passionate, down to earth, focused, persistent, a very good teammate and a good human being. Have we ever thought of his qualities? have we ever tried to learn so many things from him and applied it to our life? If not...we should.

I would give the credit of winning the World Cup to the coach- Gery Kirsten. What an incredible change he has brought in Indian team!! He is the best coach till date Indian Team has ever got. We should salute him for his coaching skills and the transformation which he has brought to the Indian Team. We will surely miss him. I hope Indian Team gets the new coach of his standards....!!!

Well, this is what about the victory of Cricket World Cup for which I am also very happy and proud.

But when I saw people coming on one platform and celebrating the victorious moments, a thought came to my mind.

If in celebrating the World Cup victory all the Indians gather on one platform and indulge themselves in the spirit of Cricket why they don't give same importance to many issues we are facing as a country and find the solution for them?

Why the love for India is only demonstrated in celebration of winning Cricket World Cup?Why do we consider this patriotism? Is this the real Patriotism???

Have we understood the real meaning of Patriotism or have we changed the definition?

Let's try and understand...Let's also celebrate the victory of other sports...Let's come to one platform to offer tribute to our martyrs...Let's spread awareness of social issues like AIDS, Stop Killing Girl Child, Illiteracy, Global warming and many other...Let's forget the boundaries of religion and only remember one religion- being human.......

If we Indians can celebrate with everyone on one platform we can surely bring change........

And I know we Indians can do it.....Let's start thinking in that direction.
