cricket is the most sellable commodity in India , and within cricket if its arc rival Pakistan then it becomes the most exciting event not only for cricket lovers but also for all countrymen . A country where people treat cricket as a religion India vs Pakistan comes with another level of zeal for them , the day when dates announced, people started preparing to get the best for that day . Many engage themselves in arranging the tickets , some started thinking for leave ideas from offices and other plan to get a get together to enjoy ever moment of the match with dear ones, but still there are many who just cant manage any of the above and have to think something else.

It was the night when India was up against arc rival Pakistan in a world cup match, news channels started there special programs 2 to 3 hours earlier and being the one of the person who couldn’t get a leave and have to work in odd hours , after abusing the administration just sat down on the desk and started thinking of the alternatives as this is one of the match that no cricket lover ever want to miss. After finishing the work earlier he left the office to reach the soonest for the remaining match and acquired a public transport, there were many like him but the thing which made them different was there way to get to the match. A radio attached to the phone and AIR station tuning on it, one of the most familiar sound “ye laga BSNL chauka connecting India” and all of the sudden whole panic just lost in that mesmerizing and thundering voice of AIR commentators .While most of the time people don’t show any sort of attachment with fellow passengers but this day the whole scenario was different, everyone was a stranger but yet united and known. They all cheer at the same time and give their opinions too. Objections being made by some of the people on playing styles, players and on opposition but also being overruled by others .That was the moment when he forgot where he has to reach and for what he just hurried up. At his home it would be only television screen with him whereas here he is into an another world and experiencing a different view of India vs Pakistan cricket match.
This unison is only being heard in army but that day he experienced it in real army of countrymen .Ultimately he has to left the public transport as he was 20 minutes to his residence , he just pulled his earplugs which he usually use for killing his leisure while traveling and listing to some music but this day it was AIR radio station where he tuned , on his way to home there were many gathering for the same match over shops, pan shops and in houses. This crowd is unusual as no other cricket clash can create this effect on nation as India vs Pakistan cricket match can do.The most common term one can heard on this day is ” Bhaiya score kya hua hai ?” (Brother whats the score?), and you can start an easy conversation with anyone passing by. After reaching home it was cricket match which was on the plate first, every second is being cheered but this time he was missing something, match was going on in its full swing but interest was just not that of before.A thought just stuck into his mind , that how a cricket match unites the nation, with a smile on his face he continues to cheer for his team….
