Congratulations to Mahendra Singh Dhoni&the team.
But as I write this I strangely feel no sense of triumph that i felt as a 12 year old in 1983 when Kapil's Devils beat the West indies and I ask myself WHY?
Has life become so fast that we have started living not in the present moment but always in the future minute to come?Has Nationalism been replaced slyly by the marketing gimmicks that tends to exploit every moment of joy as an ode to a particular brand or product?The placards for 4s waved by spectators carry logos of one firm or the other.
I feel I am on the crest of a wave that moves ever forward like the one that hit Japan,only this wave is one of innocence lost of an opportunity that seeks to exploit every moment for all thats worth.
I try to feel a sense of utter Joy at this historic moment but alas my mind is already seeking a new point in time to celebrate...it does feel like Paradise lost.
