This Is It, India vs Pakistan (THE 'BIG' MATCH)

It's a humdinger, the atmosphere is electric, it doesn't get bigger than this, the ground is packed to the rafters. Oh i simply can't wait for Ravi Shastri to say when the match starts in a few hours time, there is so much excitement all around the world, almost 1/5th of the world's population will be glued to their television set at 2:30 pm IST, Given that India-Pakistan combined have a 1.5 billion population, this match is going to result in a 25% loss in world productivity. Even sparrows and pigeons outside my window seem to be mighty exited about the match. If only they knew the way to Mohali. Whenever to hear India vs Pakistan, the only two things the hit our brains are 'Cricket' and 'War'. War hehe well surely Hindi news channels have called our team "YODHAS" so many times, I half expect a mid-innings Ram Leela Performance. Dear news channels, We know you wanted a holiday to watch the match and you haven't got it. Please stop venting the anger on us. But seriously 1948, 1965, 1971 and 1999, four times at battlefield and 1992, 1996, 1999 and 2003 on the cricket field. 4-4 baar haar chukey ho. Aaj bhi [ofcourse aaj bhi, imagine Pakistan beating India and going to Mumbai for the finals, Shiv Sena and MNS will get clear cut erection]. Sometime i feel its not even a match its a wedding, Aman weds Ash. Venue - Mohali. Date - 30 March 2011. Big fat wedding celebrities and politicians are attending. Is it a sub-continent bandh today? Just asking!
Anyways the The Indo-Pak match has been hyped so much if India wins, the whole nation would go crazy and if India looses the whole nation would still go crazy. The hype is so much that the Hackneyed and Vicious "dudh maango, kheer denge, world cup maango, toh cheer denge" lines have started appearing. Sigh! No one has contributed more to the build-up of stupid Jingoistic Anti-Pakistan rhetoric than Sunny Deol.
Obviously there are four outcomes to this epic match, A India win [ Which i think every Indian wants :-D], A Pakistan [ A result that wouldn't satisfy any Indian :-@], A Tie [No one wants this :-P], and a No Match situation, if there is no match today due to a wet outfield, Gilani an Manmohan will watch 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' together as a symbolic gesture.
Everyone would be getting ready for the match, Fans going to PCA Stadium from all corners of the world, Millions of people watching on Television with Food, Beer and whatever that can get them charged for the match. Chickens in Mohali would be busy crossing the road and disappearing. None wants to be roasted for the Gilani-Manmohan dinner. Even Munaf Patel is still confused as to whether he should shave or not for the match. If India wins today my first born will be named Mohali. Otherwise he/she will be called Dickmon/Panadol as orignally planned :-P.
I am pretty sure India will win today because we are yet to loose to them, HELL we never loose to them in world cup cricket and wouldn't into to much statistics, because statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide :-P.
To sum it up i'll quote my friends status update on Facebook.
"Sidney 1992 Fakr hain
Bangalore 1996 Fakr hain
Old Trafford 1999 Fakr hain

Centurion 2003 Fakr hain.
Johannesburg 2007 Fakr hain
They have asked many questions on Friday, repeated on Tuesday and like always we will reply them on A WEDNESDAY....!!!
GO INDIA
GO Men in Blue
De Ghumake!"
 

The Friendship match as it should be called.


Let's Hope the little master gets his 100th ton against Pakistan.
