WHEN the milkman would have yelled in delight and danced around his cows after the result of the World Cup cricket final, the cows would have been stunned thinking, "What’s happened to the guy?" Similarly, the hens at the poultry farm must have been flabbergasted that why their master was dancing around them although they hadn’t laid any eggs.
One thing has been proved beyond a doubt that India can become one and come out on streets if the issue suits them. Now after the World Cup, I dream if the day can come when black money from Swiss banks would start coming back to our country. Everyday a big politician, businessman or bureaucrat would be exposed, their money sent back to India and we will all celebrate with bursting crackers in the streets. I shared this thought
with my friend Kaushik. He said, "Stop day dreaming. These
politicians would encourage more and more hype and euphoria in cricket
so that people forget about scams."

Revelry
is a new phenomenon India is experiencing these days. I saw the whole
of Chandigarh come out on streets after the semifinals victory in
Mohali, and the entire nation, from Sonia Gandhi to our maid, dancing
as Team India lifted the World Cup. Celebrating the victory all
through the night with drinking and dancing, driving around madly with
happiness and letting off crackers to express inexplicable rapture was
something unprecedented.
