India Shining

India won the Twenty20 Championship Trophy today. Dhoni and his team gave their 100% in the ground throughout and that paid the rich reward of defeating Pakistan in the Finals.

It is a sight to watch Misbah missing his control on that crucial ball of the last over off Joginder, Harbhajan jumping with the national flag, the Chak De! Khan cheering the Indians from the stands and later on the ground, Dhoni baring his chest by handing over his T-shirt to a boy, the players rolling and falling on each other in a pure rugby style,…… :)

The sweetest part is, Mother called from Mumbai immediately after the match to share her joy with Atul. It seems he had told her to watch Twenty20 without fail and that he had forecasted India’s victory in August itself. What a combo these two are, fighting at one time and hugging at another time! And in Atul’s words – “Aaji is so innocent and sweet…” :D

I always love to say ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’ and ‘India shining’; become more patriotic after watching movies like ‘Rang De Basanti’ & ‘Swades’ and wish to cheer up on such occasions like this with ‘Chak De! India’.

But alas! I have to return to routine life very soon where I, an NRI have to look at the currency ratings with hope if there is any chance of improvement in dollar value against Indian rupees.
