Happiness in a defeat..........

It was march 17th,saturday,after a good nap in afternoon i was very excited because it was India's first encounter with Bangladesh(A minnow in cricketing world) in the group B match in port of spain. India won the toss n chose to bat,it was the begal dada saurav n sehwag opening.India's dismal day started after sehwags dismissal.Uthappa....then the little master were dismissed,oh god i was upset,am i seeing a WC match?? i cant beleive!!!,so i tuned on to watch the match of another subcontinent powerhouse the pakistan.Oh nooo,pakistan are 80/6,irish terrorising the pakistanis,I was a bit satisfied now,because not only India is struggling.Then Indians were bowled out for 191,i was upset!!,but the paks are bowled out for 132,i am a little satisfied now.I was really afraid to see Bangladesh bat,soo i slept. My wildest dreams came true,cha!!! the Bangla tigers won the match.A sombre Dravid in a post match press conference,then i saw a more upset inzamam ,although i was initially upset on seeing Dravid,i began to smile slightly ,i think you might guess why?? because paks too lost???thats how most Indians think,thats what is responsible for our downfall,comparing ourselves always with others.Such a habit is taught to a child in indian education system right from kindergarten,forcing the child into a rank system poisoning their minds.Even if a child manages to just pass but beat his/her competitor ,the parents of the child are satisfied.But viceversa they are upset!!!.To improve the mindset of indians first the rank system should be done with.Only grades might be given,a child should be taught to compete only with his/her past scores not with their class mates,only then the minds of indians will refine....(hahah,Sorry if some patriotic indian feels tough on them).Ooh sorry i haven't answered my question,"why did i slightly smile??" ,yea because teams that were considered to be minnows have started to compete among the giants.Cricket has started expanding n growing....a 8 Nation game is expanding into 16 nation game,dear patriotic indians be HAPPY,dont be upset about india's loss to Bangladesh,but... be happy that our COUNTRY'S UNITING RELIGION cricket is spreading and expanding.Come on india,cherish the HAPPINESS IN THE DEFEAT..............................
