its a fine day
ah what a beautiful morning.sun is out with a lovely breeze blowing.nice.its remarkable how weather can affect one's temperament.but theres nothing better to cheer someone up than to give good news.like i posted before, cricket is the only thing left that truly unifies us as a nation.as i was getting my daily dose of breakfast from my paan khoka(breakfast as in diet coke and pack of cigis,truly degenerate i am i know)i saw people with gloomy faces discussing how pakistan must have lost.the match ended at 3 in the morning so very few ppl would have caught the ending as i did.lucky me:)anyway the reason for their despondency was that Pakistan had batted first and done zilch.so when i told them pakistan had won they couldnt believe me.seeing the look on my face convinced them and two of them started doing the bhangra while the others quickly spread the word pakistan had won.i wish i had a camera because immeadiatly sullen faces just lit up.it was beautiful.90% of our population have hard lives.struggling just to get a decent meal during the day.ok i have a hard life because theres no cineplex in this city where i could watch all the hollywood blockbusters being released daily.how i miss being in the cinema.its hard but hey its life.anyway its great that people feel proud of something.its great people can find happiness.its great cricket plays a central role in most of our lives.i pray people can find more reasons to be happy and more things to be proud of.hey karachi people where have all the pirated dvds dissapeared btw?
