Sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn.

Till yesterday millions of messages were circulated on how the tiger would devour the kangaroo. Today the tiger looked a bit unfit, the kangaroo escaped and the tiger had to back off. This wasn't digested by many who took leave from their work or had nothing better to do than showing how freaking hypocrites they were. The same crowd after the defeat is now leaving no stone (pun) unturned in defaming the otherwise proud team till the match began. This shows that many wear jingoism for a day in the name of patriotism without knowing what supporting a nation is about. Many are bloody phonies with no clear idea whether they are supporters or just dogs who can only bark at every situation! It saddens and after a while angers when you see bashing up of Indian cricketers the way many have chosen to do so for their own reasons.

Okay, India couldn’t make it to the final. And that is a reality. Even I believe we couldn’t put up a show we were capable of. There were some glitches and so we couldn’t fit the bill. But get this loud and clear. You have no business to ridicule someone who proudly wears the Blue for the nation especially when all your job is to forward messages on WhatsApp or to give your damn opinion at a nearby paan shop. Check what you are up to. You are far from even knowing what it means to representing a nation.

There are no failures. There are only results. The result of today was not favourable. We all get it. Move on. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn.

just caught hold of the blog after sometime expecting a movie review.. but turned out to be a opinion post. Suggest you keep this blog for movie reviews only as I have not seen anything but move reviews till date. Topics like these may dilute the overall perspective of the blog.

just my two cents!
