“His win feels personal!”I’ve heard this at least 50 times in the past few hours. It made me realise what a beautiful culture we have. Being the second largest population in the world, you’d expect people to be competitive and jealous of each others achievements, but that’s just one of the ways in which Indian culture surprises the world.

From our house-help who learnt how to make vegan puran poli and karanji to wish him before the tournament to the neighbours who he grew up with came home crying with tears of joy at 1:15 am in the night, it’s not just USA’s historic win against Pakistan, it is the win of each and every person involved in the journeys of the players in the smallest way possible. There’s one scene from 12th Fail that I feel sums up what I am feeling—When one of us wins, it’s a victory for all of us. 

Saurabh Netravalkar dada, you’ve made us proud.
