You know,
Everyone else has said it so well and I don’t think I could so a better job of saying it myself. However, I cannot remember a time since 9/11 I have seen my country unite under one flag, the way I did in this Cricket World Cup. I have read and followed blogs and newspapers and all sorts of post match analysis by well known and lesser known writers- even the most cynical ones (the ones who write all sorts of trash about how Pakistan is a failed state, listing off their carefully written check list of reasons) as well as the eternal optimists (the ones who write nauseatingly sweet stuff praising Pakistan for the minutest of achievements saying how its just a misunderstood country) have all come to the same conclusions; Afridi brought our nation together and made Pakistan grow up and mature in last 6 weeks more than it has in over 60 years.
Some have said, “don’t get carried away- Pakistan still has serious problems.”
No shit Sherlocks. We really do not need to be reminded of that- trust me, we know.
But for now let’s revel in the moment of finally becoming one united nation.
☺
Congratulations Pakistan. This is our time.
