A Team to cheer for ......

The Season is on ... Indo-Pak games.

An event that calls for an outing with friends to watch the game at a cafe.
You settle in, order a cuppa coffee and look forward to an exciting time.

Yuvraj hits a six , my heart misses a beat and the Indian next to me cheers.
Shoaib runs in , Ganguly perishes , I feel joy and so does the paki alongside me.

Why ? I ask myself. These guys are emoting for their team , what am I doing?
I am being emotional as well , but what for?

Am I a Paki ? NO
Is Kashmir playing? NO

A very small observation but a very Basic one about our identity.
Oh but for a team of our own!

Give me a team to cheer for and the rest would already be in place .........
