Pakistan these days is going through multiple phases, the title of an Indian movie “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum” exactly describes the life of People in Pakistan. No matter what happens, I have seen this nation rising above through all means. Along with all the depression this young nation makes a way out and hit the jackpots. Worldcup Cricket 2011 is a joy Pakistan is rejoicing these days.

Three matches and three wins with Shahid Khan Afridi leading the team these MEN IN GREEN are rocking the nation. The second match of Pakistan in worldcup was the most amazing one, when after such a long time, I saw quite streets in Lahore. People gathered around a corner watching the match on a 14″ TV screen on a cigarette stall and roaring on the victory against Sri Lanka.

Today again, when Pakistan batted first made a terrible start by scoring only 184 runs against Canada. Everyone, including me, thought it is going to be another upset like the match of England vs Ireland where Ireland chased the 327 runs target and made an upset in the tournament. But these Green Men turned the tables around and Shahid Khan Afridi the star of Pakistani cricket again took 5 wickets leading to a victory. I salute them!
