World Champions

Hello everyone. The last time I wrote something on this blog was the time when few things were still the things of present for us. Team India won the world cup 28 years ago, Kapil Dev was the only Indian Captain to hold that crown, Sachin Tendulkar was still dreaming for his 1st world cup glory, IPL advertisement were just hitting the screens, "Satya Sai Baba" was still among us,Royal wedding dates were just arrived, according to India Osama Bin Laden was still hiding in Pakistan though nobody was ready to believe in this thing.Here comes the blog after 2 months of time and many things are things of past now.

To start with, Team India is the World Champions now or rather should I say, "WE ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS" and this is really a feeling of lifetime. How a world cup victory can unite the whole nation, we witnessed that just a month ago. As they say, if you want to become champion, you need to play like champions, defy all the odds against you and most importantly beat all the sides in the world. And yes team India did everything written above. They played like champions when it matters the most. They chased down highest total in the final, become the 1st side to win the world cup on home soil. They went according to their strength and most importantly they won it for the man himself "Sachin Tendulkar". This was supposed to be his last world cup and god has done the justice with his favorite kid. After waiting for 21 years he got the ultimate prize and not only he but all of us, who have watched or "Worshiped" should I say, for last 21 years have taste the sweetness of this ultimate prize. Whole team weather it's captain cool or the most influential person among the top 100 in world "MSD", the man of the tournament Yuvraj Singh, the man with the golden arm Zaheer Khan, the ever reliable "Bhajji", sloppy in the field but reliable with the ball Munaf Patel, Mr. street smart as he was named by Gary Kirsten Gautam Gambhir, the man for the crisis Suresh Raina,all among the 15 member squad(not to forget the supporting staff specially Gary Kirsten) and last but not the least SRT, they all contributed to the victory in the best possible manner. I still feels like shouting with joy once I see that clip of Dhoni hitting Kulasekra over mid on and surely I will be doing that for years to come. Not only me but the whole India celebrated in this moment of happiness and joy. Don't often you see, Sonia Gandhi, Big B, SRK riding on the open jeeps with Indian flags on the road. Such was the influence of this victory. Well done team India and thanks for giving whole nation something to cheer with.

Many other big events too happened in the last couple of months. Satya Sai Baba of putaparthi passed away after an illness and all their devotees fell in shock. His work for the humanity and his teachings will always remain there among the followers and devotees of Satya Sai Baba. May god give peace to the divine soul.

The wedding of the century finally took place at Buckingham palace and the world witness that. Such was the curiosity among the people that it really become the talk of the town only to be taken over by death of the man who killed many,
"Osama Bin Laden". Finally United States of America, after 1o years of search operation, spending billions able to find and kill the man who terrorized world with his act against humanity. With the death of Osama the thing that was hiding for years now come in front of the whole world that Pakistan is the country responsible for the terrorist activity and the Government itself providing the aids to the terror activity's in the country. Hope this will mark the start of something good when it comes to end the terror and killing of innocent people by our neighboring country. One can imagine the influence of the death of Osama bin laden among the people of America and whole world, that the person who live blogged the operation of OSB's death has become a personality. In just span of two days, he has more than 1 lakh followers on the microblogging site twitter, has already been interviewed by leading news papers and news channels of the world and still going strong.

Personally for me, these two months have been little up and down as always. Some family problem forced to minimize the joy of being World Champions but still would love to thank God that everything is going smooth now. Working in the night shift these days, and workload in the office is such that whole night passes like a blink of an eye. I have never worked that much in my life, and too can easily say never ever I learned that much in just a span of two months. Good going I should say. So that's it for the time now. It was awesome to summarize the bunch of great activities happened in past few months in a single blog. I would love to end this post by congratulating SRT for the world cup win by writing few lines that I copied from movie Om Shanti Om:

"Itni shidat se tujhe mene pane ki koshish ki hai, ke har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki koshish ki hai. Wo kehte hain na ke yadi kisi cheez ko dil se chaho to puri kaynat tumhe usse milane ki koshish mein jut jati hai."

So till next post, stay fit, stay cool(though bit difficult as summers are coming) and have a nice time.

Cheers,

Munish Sharma
