Hope, Belief and the Theory of Everything...
I know this would sound eerie... but I would like to propose this theory. I am of the opinion that everything in this world is related... in more ways than we can possibly imagine. And... most things... rather everything can be done or undone if enough people believe in it.
I witnessed a perfect example of this today.... as India is on the verge of loosing out the third test to Pakistan. The rot started yesterday when Pakistan put up a massive 500+ runs and laid the foundation of a massive lead. AK, a friend of mine, was the first to pronounce that we are going to loose. My reaction was quite rude and furious... I said that he should chop off his tongue!!!
And then at work... the only discussion in the cafetaria was how long we would be able to hold on... most of my colleagues had resigned to the fate that we are going to loose the match.
Then just after two wickets were down... AM another good friend of mine changed her nick on MSN... she added that only the rains can save the Indian team in Pakistan... or something that meant the same. I pinged her and cried foul... She took the hint and changed her nick... but I sensed that she too had resigned for the day.
At this moment... I could hear all alarm bells ringing... it became quite evident to me that we wanted to loose this match... though that was something I couldn't accept. Anyways... I reached out to my love... she is one of the few people who can work miracles for me. She said we could save the match... and I was thrilled... a draw was a miracle... and it was something I could settle for... but that was not to happen... as before I could even type a smiley... she blurted but then we might even loose! And that put me down... how could she do it... I could not believe what I was reading....
Anyways... so here is my theory... I believe that if a whole lot of us believe in something to happen... it would happen... we have lost nine wickets as I type this and Pakis are just a wicket away from victory. Yet the headline on rediff says Yuvraj hits 100!!! That is optimism... and I need it!

i am not sure if we wanted it to happen ,or belived it should happen.
but the ways they batted..the writing was on the wall. and when sachin got out...i still remember him almost kneeling in front of the bowler....the curtains were falling...
well i think the players are the first people to loose hope.... thatz where the process starts and spreads through out !!!!
i was thinking about this today when india was winning and i have a contrary theory. all of us thought india was going to loose not because we wanted india to loose but because the vibes sent out by the players on the field were such....they were not giving a fight and ...you get the drift!
aapka theory phirse shuru hogaya?
:-)
Anyway, India won!!!!
intersting theory dude! Will come with more on this...
