Devanagari is an extremely elegant script. But this was never explained to us in school.
A thread on the awesomeness that is devanagari.
Let's start with the things that my teachers did *not* teach me in school:
Guys we know you have to tweet even bullshit for your impressions and pay out, but please don’t stoop so low and try to maintain dignity. This is the same team which gave us joy for the last one and a half month. Same players whose innings we enjoyed.
Yesterday, Pakistan won the match against India. Surprised? Don’t be.
In the larger context, it doesn’t matter to the Pakistani establishment who wins or loses. What matters is constantly engaging with India.
When Pakistan plays against India, Pakistan is viewed as a normal state. When Pakistani actors act in our movies and their singers sing in our films, it hyphenates a relationship that ideally should not exist.
So desperate is Pakistan to engage with India that a cricket match is dressed up as “war without blood” which people of both the countries enjoy.
Think about it…no one wants to go to Pakistan. No one talks about Pakistan on the global stage. No nation welcomes them. Pakistan is on life-support; not just it’s financial condition, it’s diplomacy, it’s security and stability but also it’s reputation. It is almost a global pariah. It should sit next to North Korea, not India.
But when India plays Pakistan and 500 million people across the world watch, for that brief moment, Pakistan becomes a normal state. The more we engage with Pakistan, the more normal Pakistan seems, to the world.
We are responsible for the mainstreaming of Pakistan. Pakistan rides on our good reputation to live, even if momentarily, in the shadow of respectability. That is our biggest and most unforgivable crime.
Yesterday, technically we won. Actually, we lost.
