The Endless Battle

Roads and streets give a deserted look. No man and no shadow can be found on the road. Every person is sitting in his home and making prayers. But what is the matter with all of them. Well its Pakistan vs India cricket match and everyone wants to see the team win. It is not just game it becomes a war between the two rivals. A game that begins with the fight and ends up with the martyrs lying down on the battle field and the loser team is just trying to hide their faces with embarrassment and shame. The other team tries to taunt the loser. Not only the players but the people of both the country try to led others down. Social networking sites are full of abuses between the people of two countries. Big screens are installed on the public places. Special holiday is announced in both offices and schools. Blood pressure and heart attacks are the main cause of death in this game. Every ball counts in this game and no one wants to blink eyes. Not just the people of these countries enjoy the game but also other teams and people of other countries try to make their day by watching this big game between Pakistan and India. Whether it’s a world cup or a tri series, stadium is booked two to three days before in case of tri series and two to three months before the world cup match. The players in the stadium are not less passionate and aggressive. Hard comments are passed on and sometimes the situation is so critical that players push each other with force and raise their bats. In the end there is celebration all over the winner country and mourn and grief in the other one.

This is not just a game, it’s a battle, a battle which started when these both countries were separated from each other. The battle which has no end and which has no reason.  An endless battle that is due to hatred or due to some religious or political reason. But this can only be felt if you are a Pakistani or an Indian.
