Being the favourite underdogs, Pakistan proved their critics and those who slid onto the other side with them utterly wrong and confused. Certainty is one thing where businesses are based, but unpredictability is nature’s forte; no one foresaw great storms and earthquakes, so did none wished Pakistan would be the problem child in the cricketing extravaganza.
The nation, the people, the youth, the players embellished the belief that greats are capable to find way into our mainstream but not necessarily to be injected to get that infused feeling of higher bonding where struggles culminates for perfection.
Pakistan emerged heroically and valiantly victorious, which couldn’t have come at a better time when the military has locked horns, they needed fresh breath of revived energies which came in swiftly from none a better place like Lords, the precedents of which dreamt us to be dissolved, against which the chivalry is in the best display.
Pakistan was totally on the cards never thought to be trumps, reliving the days of 1992, the lucky era where 3 world honours were treasured. 17 years and the honour has relived again. The spirits were high, went further higher leading the nation to the much needed depth of unity which went missing through the rubbles of unrest and racial conspiracies.
Nation stood, nation saw and the nation conquered. Yet again, proving the elders wrong that the Messiah has to rise again but not from here. Ours is a nation which has to have the ingredient of direction, other than that the formula is unique in its own standards.
The momentous rewriting of history is temporary but if cherished and ingrained if it stands together which was visible very much in the celebratory aura, are we in despair and disparity?
The lines had vanished permanently, for a moment though. This creed is what is desired to bond this nation, the day it forms the lining of the yolk, that day shall see it ahead in leagues against others.
Shall this victory be one of those infinite ones which we can mark and carve out of possibilities and future, all we need is a chance through transparent and enforced. Just one chance.
This victory to the martyrs of the army, the unheard and the downtrodden who live on hope and a dollar a day.
Pakistan Pa’aindabad.
