Bring the cup home!
That is all what matters to 99% of the people living in this territory called Pakistan , Pakistan the land of pure has not only pure people but also passionate people ! We are ready to do anything to prove the world ,in particular our neighbor India that “we” are the kings of cricket !
That is definitely all what matters to us , the premieres of Pakistan have accepted the invitation to watch the match in Mohali , following them a whole number of ‘very important persons’ will flock the stadium on the 30th making it simply impossible for the poor people to make it inside the stadium , oh ! The class disparity in sports too…
Before the match the only thing people have to discuss back here in Karachi is where is one watching the match, where will it be screened, a friend of mine in Nazimabad told they had to actually threaten the kids in the area who had taken up the residency on storm to contribute money so that the youth can arrange a large screen for the match!
While writing this … news came that there will be no load shedding on 30th , good news , there was load shedding on the 23rd march I guess! But it doesn’t matter does it, what is more important? match of course.
My eyes read the tigers on news channels that the government is considering an option of public holiday that makes so much sense! After all 18 million people need time so they can watch the men in green take the national esteem higher!
Having said all that, It may sound stupid but its true, I seriously don’t care whether we win over India or not !
Yes , winning would be good but in the other case is no big deal ! It doesn’t matter at all we win or lose , for me winning or loosing in a match will not define our national dignity !
It is just a game people, realize!
The month of March alone has seen a dozen of innocent deaths daily caused by target killings. Karachi has been burning under this curse. There are no words in my knowledge to describe the amount of ignorance we display in matters of real concern!
Victory in sports is dearer to us than human life!

Good Starting... of both (This piece of writing + your blog). But I think 'Target Killing' should be much more focused in the blog instead of cricket.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it ... but i agree with khushboo. Cricket is considered as an utmost priority when compared with other important issues, which is really sad.
ReplyDeleteYou must not lament Ahsan.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that we are living around idiots. You can include my name in that category as well.
Maybe people thought that winning the match would lessen our grief. Just my opinion.
