Okay..
So now that The Great Indian Dream has come true and all our ambitious selves are singing like larks, let's find out five minutes time from our celebrations and ponder what it is that led us to this great victory.
On the evening of 2nd April when the SriLankans beat our bowlers to a pulp, made a whopping score and when we lost two important wickets in quick succession, most of us were dead sure that we had already lost the game. There was plain defeat written on every body's face. That was what we were used to seeing. That was what we were expecting. The predictable.
What we never thought we would see was what came next. What Gambhir, Dhoni, Virat, Yuvraj showed us. They fought back. All these past 27 years, we have seen our team perform well, go to the finals and then crumble down under pressure. All these past years, we had taken baby steps, proved that we had potential, but never mustered the courage to believe in ourselves and fight back. What Dhoni and his boys showed us on Saturday was something we always had hoped for, but never expected. Because we were used to accept whatever was offered to us.
Now, we have learnt a new lesson.
We demand what we want.
We fight for what we want.
We believe in ourselves.
So,
from now on, you demand your promotion from your boss because you have worked the hardest for it. You deserve it;
from now on, if the police inspector asks for money for verifying your passport, you don't give it;
from now on, if a random goon eve teases you in a crowded bus, you slap him and stop the bus to throw him out of the bus;
from now on, if illiterate 'Party Dadas' block the busy roads during peak office hours, you get down from your bus and give them a piece of your mind.
From now on, you fight back.
And the next time, if any Tom, Dick or Harry tells you that you cannot do what you know you can, show them your middle finger and walk away.
I bet there'll be very high chances that you win the next World Cup and you won't be waiting another 27 years.
