India storms the World Cup bastion once again.The victory was full on adrenalin and feet stomping. It was so powerful and vivacious that Sri Lanka was virtually blown away by the swaying emotions of a billion heads roaring as 'one India'.
As I saw people spilling on to the streets with their cars and bikes, with laughter and music flowing, I wondered how a simple cricket match could have brought so much change in a nation of billion which never looks beyond its individualistic approach.
We communicated with ourselves, with each other and with virtual strangers as we saw them as fellow Indians who felt proud being a part of this priceless moment.
We were, for these 35 days, a single nation with a single need and a single vision.
Then where do we fall short for the rest of the 300 days? We fall short in having a single vision - that of well being of India. We forget that it is the power of the nation that takes care of our future and our well being. Without the nation we can only buy time but not the living.
Let's look for that communicator who can, selflessly, instil this power of vision in us that can sway the entire billion to surge and come together as the single super power the world has ever seen in this century.
