One man demolition squad = Sahibzada Shahid Ali Khan Afridi = (India + Bangladesh) x combined

Mr. Shahid Khan Afridi, you have again entertained your country men and the cricket lovers all over the world, in an amazing and a miraculous manner.

Mr. Afridi, this time you have defeated and sent back not one, but the hopes of the two teams out of the tournament. It looks you have become the nemesis (an agent or act of retribution or punishment) of these teams.

Never ever in the history of cricket, a one man demolition squad, has thrown a team twice out of the tournament, with such a thunderous performance, like you have done in a spate of 48 hours.

Mr. Shahid Khan Afridi, this war torn nation is really indebted to you for all the joys, smiles and happiness you gave us with your amazing talent and skills of the game.

May Allah Bless our cricket team with even more success and triumphs, in the days to come.

“I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.”

— Fred Allen

Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficult situations.

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962);
U.S. First Lady, diplomat, human rights activist

Get Tough Subjects Out in the Open

It’s easy to be critical of leaders who can’t face the facts, but in truth, most of us engage in denial at one time or another, usually without knowing it. To encourage better examination of tough topics, find ways to encourage dialogue when complex issues are on the table. Denial is less likely to occur when teams look at the situation from multiple angles, challenge underlying assumptions, and construct a better picture of what’s really going on. Also, don’t assume that everyone sees the world through the same lens as you. Facts and data are usually open to interpretation, and people have different underlying criteria for how they analyze them. We all emphasize some things and discount others, based on past experiences, personality, and tolerance for discomfort.

Let India and Pakistan always play cricket and forever shun the idea of hostilities and enmity against each other..!

Let us live in peace forever..!

Happy New Year 2014 – to all the Indians – from Pakistan with love

New Year Resolution – From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians

While wishing all the Indians a very happy and prosperous new year 2104, we would like to inform everyone in India that if at all we have to be friends, then that friendship must be in true sense; and we must not act and behave with each other in a hypocritical manner.

We would also like to assure the Indians that even if we wanted we can’t conquer India. At the same time even if India wanted, it can’t pull down Pakistan, without India being destroyed as well.

So, why to waste our time and energies in an imaginary hatred policies. Why to waste our precious resources, in being the prisoners of our foolish past.

From the first day of the new year 2014, let us bury our bitter past and be friends in true sense, like all the European countries.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:

The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Let us have a genuine peace. Let India remove all its strike forces corp from the border without any fear.

Let us join hands to wage a war against poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy.

Let us turn this subcontinent a bastion of peace and a heaven on earth.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;

Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;

Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

India and Pakistan just need a period of single decade of genuine peace to turn around its fortunes to emerge as the most potent economic and cultural power house of this world.

The only condition is the genuine and authentic peace like the one which exists in between the EU countries.

Don’t be afraid of problems between the two countries, because they will remain for ever, but we have to give priority to peace over the problems.

Let us make a new start from the beginning of the new year 2014, with the slogan – Long live the friendship of the teeming millions of India and Pakistan.

Let India and Pakistan always play cricket and forever shun the idea of hostilities and enmity against each other..!

Let us live in peace forever..!

Victory in the Mother of all matches..!

Allah Blessed Pakistan with a miraculous victory at FatehAllah.

Heartiest congratulations to the entire Pakistani nation and all the cricket lovers world over on winning a cliff hanger of a match against India.

Ultimately this match turned into an Afridi Vs India affair.

The last six of Afridi reminds us of Javed Miandad’s last ball six many decades ago at Sharjah Vs India.

Nothing unites our nation like sports.

Sports has the power to change Pakistan…it has the power to inspire.

It has the power to unite Pakistani people in a way that little else does.

It speaks to the Pakistani youth in a language they understand. Sports can create hope for the entire Pakistani nation where once there was only despair, lawlessness, hunger, poverty, drugs, suicide bombings and alarming increase of suicides, due to the economic hardships.

It is more powerful than government in breaking down the menace of terrorism which has blown the country to the smithereens.”
