I was looking at data cable, the light was blinking. I was on the corridor, waiting for a new life. The people were crying in front of god idol placed at the corridor, people were not able to sleep. There was crowd till one, but silently people slept after sleepless efforts by 3 at night. The light of data cable was still blinking. The ICU was giving me indication of RED till 3 am. Off course, I was tired, but more I was frustrated. White cloths, nurses, wheel chairs, smell of medicines, corridors getting clean in every half an hour with the same smell fluid, trying to please you, but fails in second chance. The facebook occupations were going on and what I can see is my profile wall. Bomb blast in mosque, suicide bomber in Afghanistan, Japan feared of more tsunamis, Obama not able to deal with economical sector of country, Gilani putting his new comments every day, which get space in newspaper, Gaddafi still dominating thinking himself as Messiah, Hosni Mubarak had no cancer, which he claims that he is having, Chavez back from chemotherapy, ManMohan Singh not able to comment anything on the indefinite fast of Anna Hazare, Soniya healing after surgery, UN secretary doing blah blah blah.
| WHEN IT IS PAIN,IT WORKS.... PAIN WORKS LIKE A NEEDLE, DOPPING YOU WITH MEDICINES SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES TAKING YOUR BLOOD OUT FROM YOUR OWN VEINS, LEAVING PAIN. IT WORKS TO SAVE SOMEONE LIFE,TO BRING SMILE TO YOUR FACE.... PAIN BRINGS TRANQUILITY WHEN YOU RUN WITH DEEP BREATHS, DOG TIRED AND YOU STOP AND SAY YOU ENJOYED THE RUN AND LITTLE DROPS OF WATER QUENCHING YOU THURST... PAIN IS STRANGE, UNDEFINED, EXPECTATIONS BRINGS THE PAIN, LOVE BRINGS THE PAIN, DEATH BRINGS THE PAIN...STILL BORN BABY BRINGS THE PAIN... BUT SOMETIMES WINNING OF YOURSELF AND LOOSING OF COMPETITOR ALSO BRINGS THE PAIN. PAIN MINGLES IN MIND WHEN ONE COMMENTS IN WORDS LIKE ARROWS, WHEN ONE DONT GIVE YOU A GLANCE TO SHOW THAT YOU WERE EXCELLENT, WHEN ONE POINT OUT YOUR POTENTIAL.. SCREAM,CRY SOUNDS ABSORBED BY FOUR WALLS NOT BY ANY EAR. YOU RELAX YOURSELF BY YOUR OWN THOUGHTS,INTROSPECTIONS AND NO HANDS TO SUPPORT YOU. YOU GET BACK AND RUN AGAIN.. MAKING YOURSELF LIKE BUILDING THE CASTLES WITH PLAYING CARD, BRINGING BRICKS AGAIN TO CONSTRUCT, SAVE IT FROM CALAMITIES, YOU GET STRONG NY NUMBER OF STEPS YOU MOVE AHEAD.. IF YOU DONT FEEL THE PAIN,LIFE SEEMS UNSUCCESSFUL. MORE THE PROBLEMS, OBSTACLES, MORE DESERVING YOU ARE, MORE SUCCESSFUL YOU ARE... MERE SLEEPING 6 HOURS IS NOT LIFE, LIFE IS TO BURN YOURSELF.. TO WORK OUT WITH YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND BRAIN, TO FEEL THE PAIN ... A PROLONGED PAIN BRINGS EITHER DEATH OR RELIEF,IT BRINGS TEARS WHEN ONE WONS THE TOSS OF LIFE, SUCCESS IS WHAT YOU TOIL.. PAIN WORKS,YOU KEEP WORKING ...YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH LOVE OF ALMIGHTY... BUT TOIL WORKS, NONE OF YOUR HARD WORK IS FUTILE AND IT IS HELPFUL IN ANY TURNING OF LIFE... BELIEVE IT OR NOT...BUT PAIN WORKS |
| Time is 2.30 pm, 30th of March, and Mohali is visible on screen. When India crossed through Semi Finals, people were not happy because India is going for Semi final but mainly because its Indo Pak match, everyone arranged there program, going to friends home, or somewhere out, online watch, sms alerts, Radios frequency were tuned as if Nehru is about to declare that at the stroke of midnight India achieved freedom. People were bunking and gossiping about match fixing was ever hottest like Ayodhya. Everyone was arousing voting questions that who will win and approximately 5 times more people voted for India winning. By morning, everyone was stretching the body and saying holiday, no work today please, it is all about India vs. Pakistan. Fixings were investigated and estimations were done. People were confident that India would win as all matches of last world cup gives a clear graph of being victorious. All ambiences were set, people switched on televisions at high voice, and commentary was audible from everywhere. It was pin drop silent when I was walking in road, no traffics, shops closed, only one thing was there commentary, people inside City Vans, peoples were sleeping with frequency tuned on. sms alerts were continuous, even boss was indulged in his own office, muting the TV. Bombardment of message beeps was clear at a sight. Seeing crowds outside shops having Television sets made me not able to drive properly. The birds were not chirping, dogs stopped barking, nor any Sabjiwala neither Vendors were mean to work. Many left food half done.Finally, its 10 minutes left to 2:30 pm. The camera zooming in and out the applauding, flag hoisting audience. Here comes the coin and two captains. India won the toss and thus gone for batting. 7 consecutive four by Sehwag helped like a spark in dry forest. He was out but Sachin century undone was biggest sign of victory for people. People curse his century as indication of failures and then indecisiveness on the Sachin out decision was really had to accept. Yuvraj upset more of his audience and Sachin out before century was majorly a token of indication to its winning, according to people. Fielding was off course losing its pace many times when Pak was batting but Pressure made on Green can’t be denied or unseen. Match nowhere seems to be fixed as you can’t befool the audience many times you see. However, statement of Pakistan Home Minister was after all deserves across Front-page coverage as it tells that even countryperson is saying that my country can be sold for mortal money. It may be because they might be known to the fact that Pakistan is going to lose, so he put this statement to rescue them. The things observed during this match may need more improvement to win to Sri Lanka as this time players were badly injured, but this time exchanging of abusive words were at least and there were exchanging smiles between player many times. At the end of the game, all decided that we have to out the last player before completing the over and attempts were clearly visible but finally it was all out. Afridi was afraid and but happy to see the performance of young player in team, but the differences in score like 29 for this time and approximately 30 from last few matches, shows a lapse colliding between India and Pakistan from last many World Cup Matches. People were not able to hold the nerve, Fever was rising, and atmosphere was hot and tensed even after knowing that winning is assured, fervent souls were enthusiastic and lastly when Pakistan was all out, Indians were buzzing, can’t control such immense happiness. There were hooting, screams, cheers, happiness, smiles, dancing; joy and above all everyone came to streets with drums, many with guitars, crackers and slogans. When there were fireworks in sky, there were dholes and dances on earth. After 4 years again they might have this much joy, husband wife forgot there tension, patients were out of bed in Hospitals, old people were awake late at night, no shops were closed till 1 at night and poor people just forgot that what they were worried about, deficiency in materialism doesn’t have to deal with happiness, people forget about next day office and closing of Session on 31st of March. Flags were hoisted at night, the ambience made us felt as if World Cup is achieved and Fervor of World Cup 2011 was at its peak. Eleven players bought smile to millions of people. It was amazing feel and seeing all around the gaiety and zeal of celebration, I felt Nehru voice, “At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.” |
