Lesson from Victory in T20 World Cup
Monday, June 22, 2009
It has been very heartening to see our cricket team emerging as the champions of th T20 World Cup. No amount of praise is enough to appreciate the performance beyond compare of our cricket team. The whole nation remained awake and glued to the TV sets to watch every moment of the final match against Sri Lanka. There was no distinction among citizens in this celebration. Pakistanis from all walks of life; the rich and the poor, devoid of any political, ethnic or sectarian affiliation were all praying for the success of their team.
The excitement, jubiliation and joy displayed by the entire nation watching our team play and winning the final are the great moments to be chersished and remembered for times to come. There is a lot to learn from this event. I will restrict myself to only one. Once there is a will, there is a way. United we stand , divided we fall. It are the sincerety of purpose and the honesty to achieve it, following which we can do wonders. If our leadership realizes the virtues of being sincere and honest, it's not late yet for us to rise taller than the crisis facing us.

Pakistan Lose by 48 Runs in T20 World Cup
Monday, June 8, 2009
Performance of Pakistan Cricket Team was far below the desired standards in its first match against England. There was a visible lack of will power and determination both while fielding and batting. However, it should be no surprise. Sports teams represent their countries. We, as a nation, invariably, place high hopes on these teams, forgetting as to how we are performing as a country in the comity of nations. We should be surprised if our teams do well and not when they don't.
