Vande Mataram,
Today is the REPUBLIC DAY of India. I am naturally very happy. I met a few of the children of my society, they were happy primarily because today was a holiday, and they could see air display from the comforts of their homes. Vow.. there goes patriotism for a toss. I "UNDERSTAND" friends. Please dont take me otherwise. Don't think for a second that I am talking like a pseudo. We are all Indians and we are a tolerant and understanding lot. Our arms are always open to embrace everyone around us, from any caste, creed, religion, nationality etc. WE UNDERSTAND THE WORLD. Actually we are the only people who understand and also the world expects that we must UNDERSTAND. HAMKO SAMAJHNA CHAHIYE.

Whether, we are welcomed in other parts of the world, whether we are being attacked overseas, whether our artists, sportpersons, engineers, IT specialists are not welcomed in other parts of the world....These questions must not come in our minds.We have to understand.

But if Pakistani players are not taken in the bids of IPL, even if the decision is purely a business equation. There will be a hue and cry. Even our HON'BLE Home Minister has to issue a statment, otherwise India will not remain an UNDERSTANDING country.

Please tell me, if due to any reasons, political or otherwise, these Pak players can not make to the matches, then who is at a loss. Are the Team owners plucking money from the trees. Why should they enter in a bad business.

I understand, that this is not fair for the cricketers, for the spirit of the sport itself, but why should we Indians be always UNDERSTANDING. Can our creative people go across the border and earn money and fame like we welcome their creative brains.
Should the door knob not be opened from both the sides.Why are our students being attacked in Autralia? Why can China build a road on the border and we can not? As a layman I am sorry if I am illinformed about these situations. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think we are a bit extra tolerant, extra compassionate, Forbearing and over streching our arms.

I feel that the countries around us are insecure.

Do you think Indians in majority, barring a few, will miss the missing cricketers. I don't think so. ME POSITIVELY NOT..

Let the dust settle. Times will not remain the same. Again some good samaritans will come forward and bid for the Pakistani cricketers. Just a matter of a few months. We Indians are a HOPEFUL lot as well.

Till then..... remain understanding....and happy ... Well I AM.
