If the India Pak World Cup clash were to trace a different trajectory....Ik Aman Ki Asha

With a prolonged deafening silence in the Third Umpire's

Chamber time has seemed to slow down a little. Everyone is

casting a glance on the other in a hope that they will ease

the tense air with their words.

Within the walls of the commentory box
Wasim Akram : Harsha, agreed that MS's fitness has been in

question in recent past. Also agreed that it is absolutely

the right of the respective country to select their leader.

But I am absolutely perplexed at the fact that MS has cited

mesniscus tear as a reason for sending Virat Gali(VK) in his

place. Harsha, you yourself had similar issues during your

college days. How far does this all make sense to you ?

Harsha : Haha! well I am not competent enough to figure this

out for my little knowledge in orthopaedics. But yes, my

meniscus tear took months to reach such levels that I would

not walk or sit easily. Wasim can we make an effort to read

between the MS's lines.

Wasim : Its apparently quite clear that MS isn't absent for

this reason. But what makes him give such a bad excuse all

of a sudden. My goodness! is he escaping to be a part of

this probably the most critical meeting ever in cricket

history.

Harsha : Ah! no way we can be sure about this. But yes

history and psychology heavily do suggest the fact that this

there is no easy way out of this decision. Whenever you

deliberate on India-Pak issue hardly any solution has

surfaced. More than that whichever way the decision has been

there has been dissatifaction in the public. The simple

reason being that the India Pak relation has crossed the

yield point already. Now whichever leader makes compromise,

their fans/citizens create a chaos. Who doesn't know the

national frenzy over decisions of Lal Bahadur & Zulfiqar

Bhutto. One made peace , the other war but nonetheless

regretted their moves.

Wasim : But it is so pitiful that much contrary to the

spirit of sportsmanship our cricket too has got contaminated

like politics. I am sure that an intellectual like yours

must have pondered over the unfortunate ways India Pak

clashes are seen by the people.


Meanwhile, the feed from commentory box goes live again on

Star Sports.

Harsha : Dear fans, welcome back to Star Sports.
It has been quite some time since the meeting between

officials and team representatives began. But there hasn't

been any outcome yet. The chair umpire has briefed both

India and Pak leaders about the ICC Rules. But there being

no solution he has decided to leave the fate of the match to

a common decision of India & Pak. Put in other words due to

the limitations of hotspot technique the umpires could not

make out whether there was a knick or not. Therefore

Misbah-UlZuluul-Buck & Dhoni have been asked to sit togethor

and decide on what actually happened. Howevor, VK has come

to represent India on the ground that Dhoni is suffering

from injury. Until now, both have hardly given any

statements.

Wasim : To all those fans who missed the final moments of

the match. Inspite of India batting quite well Pakistan was

always in the scene. The situation in the last few overs got

quite close. And to everyone's surprise Pak was two run

short of victory at the penultimate ball. On the last ball

Afridi was at crease. He tried cutting the ball for a

boundary but the ball passed quite close to his bat and went

straight to Dhoni's gloves. Pak managed taking a single.

What happened thereafter is deserves attention. India

appealed for a catch and the ground umpries had to refer it.

Snickometer technique did show a something when the balled

passed by Afridi's bat but it could not made out whether

that was from pad or bat. After few minutes both captains

alongwith the umpires met in the commentory box. As Harsha

briefed you the umpire could not take a decision based on

the recording. Now the result has to come based on Misbah &

Virat's interaction
Stay tuned to Star Sports for the Updates, Good Bye from

Wasim
The commentory box is disconnected again. Siddhu enters a

short while later

Siddhu : Tha main jab Punjab main tapta tha ladkiyan tot,
Guruuuuuuu tha main jab Punjab main thoonkta tha ladkiyan

tot

Aj to maidaan main barood bina ho raha hai visfot


Wasim : bhaijaan, allah se dua hai Virat aur Misbah tamam

ranjishein bhula dosti ka paigam badaeiyen.

Siddhu : oye, ho gayi peer parvat si pighalni chahiye
is himalaya se koi ganga vayeguru nikalni chahiye

Harsha interrupts all of a sudden. Says do not build castles

in air. He can still see that VK & Misbah are hardly making

any moves.
Time is passing by and an indefinite lull looms over the

commentory box and Chair Umpire's chamber.


Wasim : Siddhu, bhai tu to manega hindustani janabon ne

gandh to machayi hi hai. Ghaasfoos khake jeete hain aur Apni

aurat tak ko kaboo main rakhna jaante nahi. Vatan par kya

lagam kasenge.

Harsha feels a deja vu.

Siddhu : You have no idea how divine is the feeling of being

pure vegeterian. Meet the Indian Sadhus and find out

yourself. As for women, you bloody rape and marry your own

sisters. How far is it any justice.

Wasim : Who dosent know the story of Asharam and other

Indian Sadhus, dont talk about Indian monks. And better not

tell me about rapes. India is the only country where rape

has been committed with both a 3 month and 83 year old girl.

Certain voices start echoing in Harsha's mind. He starts

losing his consciousness gradually.

Siddhu : Statistics are like mini skirts my dear friend.

They reveal more than they should.


There is silence in the room again.

Naseem Malik(Malik) : oye Murgule! teri.... Sale

Hindustani! statistics ki .... terko pata hai na haryana

main sex ratio ki ..... gayi hai. aur kyon nhi hogi.

ladkiyon ko paida hoti hai maar dete hain. Waise acha karte

hain, jo zinda reh jaati hain unki zindagi maut se badtar

hoti hai


Murgule : oye bhai bhagwan ke naam par bas kar

Malik : abe tujhe pata hai na ke tumhare RAW ke bande Pak

main gand machate hain. maine PTV pe dekha ki 40 RAW

officers Pak main dekhe gaye.unko jasoosi karte pakda gya.

Murgule is quite unhappy to know about this behaviour of

India. But just forces his head not to nod in favor of

Malik. He is pretty sure his team would not tolerate this.

He feels choking for the animosity and confusions between

the two nations. For all the time he has spent in Mortund as

an intern or for all his intellectual capacity he just

cannot see the two nations apart. But there is hardly anyone

in his circle with whom he can even discuss his views

freely. He knows the definiton of nationalism has shifted

from layind down ones own life to taking that of other. He

knows cursing each other and cheering for cricket team has

unfortunately become a part of culture. Murgule succumbs to

the pressure and starts condemning Pakistan

Murgule : Listen, one disease that has plagued your nation

is something you yourself prove. The way you talk shows the

isolation of Pak from modern manners and civilisation. Yes,

the sex ratio in Haryana is low but what about your nation.

I don't know if you even have money to conduct such surveys.

And don't talk about PTV network at all. Its simply a Pro

Terrorism Video network.


Malik : Interrupts Murgule. Bh**we ki Nas** . Terrorism ki

baat na kar. Tumhari pictures aur leaders ne jane kya samajh

rakha hai
