10 reasons which prove that when its India-Pakistan, it's not just Cricket...

1. The most anticipated day this February was not Valentine's Day: 

This February, all the males were more interested in planning about at which friend's house they will gather for the INDO-PAK game. And the females looked more concerned about how to cut the cable connection's wire.


2. Pakistan's inability to win against India in World Cups:

The score-line says it all. INDIA 6 - Pakistan 0. Forget about the match, Pakistan haven't even won the toss against India in any World Cup.

3. Dropping catches is synonymous with Akmal brothers: 

 Whether Kamran or Umar, both the wicket-keeping batsmen dropped huge opportunities what could be game changing ones. While Kamran dropped Sachin in 2011 WC, his younger sibling dropped Virat this time when he had not scored even a half century. 

4. Virat Kohli - the new Sachin: 

The 'run-machine' might be wanting to thrash her beau Anushka's Pakistani boyfriend after watching the film 'PK' that he poured all his anger on the Pakistani bowlers and scored the first ever century by an Indian batsmen against Pakistan in a world cup game, a feat even Sachin couldn't achieve.


5. Afridi might be missing Gautam Gambhir: 

In taking a quick single, Afridi's throw hit Virat's back so hard that it looked like Afridi knowingly hit Virat. But surprisingly Virat just passed a smile and did not utter a word. Afridi might have really missed his favourite sledge-partner Gautam Gambhir when this happened. So did we.

6. Loud crowd powered India's missed opportunity: The crowd was so loud at the Adelaide Oval that Dhoni couldn't hear the call his team-mates shouted and missed an easy run out opportunity when he flashed the bails of the stumps at the wrong end. Poor Dhoni, his hair are turning grey also his hearing senses. 

7. BigB - the lucky charm: It doesn't matter whether Amitabh Bachchan did commentary for just 5 initial overs. Whenever Bachchan sahab holds the mic, India wins. Last time he did commentary, India won and saved '3 guna lagaan' in 'Champaner'.

8. No Paksitani batsman likes to bat with Misbah: Whether it is T20 WC 2007, whether it is WC 2011 or whether it is WC 2015, no Pakistani batsman likes to bat along with Misbah-ul-Haq and he is the lone soldier who fights till the end. C'mon guys, be afraid of speaking English at the presentation but at least bat with your current captain. 

9. "The Great Pakistani Suicide point": The bowler, Mohd. Irfan is so tall that the whole Pakistani team might have thought of jumping from his shoulder for doing suicide after losing from India again.  

10. "Na ishq mein na pyar mein, maza hai sirf Pakistan ki haar mein":

The trolls, the memes, the funny Whatsapp messages that rocked the social media after India's comprehensive win over Pakistan made this statement loud and clear!!

My Review:- "NH 10"

In this male dominated world, comes another female dominated movie just a week after Women's Day. 

A young urban married couple going to spend their weekend in some resort in Haryana on their way at NH 10, come across a bullying folk of men led by Darshan Kumar (who played the role of Priyanka's husband in Mary Kom) beating a girl and a boy who seemed to have flown away from their house. When no one dares to stop them, breaking the shackles, the educated couple try to take a stand. But the matter gets worse. The girl (sister of the man beating her) and the boy (her lover) are killed. Now the eyewitnesses of this cruel event are trapped and have to run away from what ends in their life's worst nightmare. Anushka's husband in the film, Neil Bhoopalam gets hurt badly and there remains no way better than Anushka taking the responsibility to try and come out of this mess.

In this edge-of-the-seat thriller, Anushka is amazing in her expressions and Neil does correctly what he is asked to. The movie is an episode of 'Honour Killing' which throws spotlight over the rampant social evils prevalent in this part of India including domestic violence and cruelty against women. It takes courage for a young actress to come up with such a movie in her debut production venture. But the Cricket World Cup and bad weather have taken their toll on the box office collections of this movie. I request all the girls out there to go and watch it, it will fill you up with energy and courage.  

Talking about Cricket reminds me that another line up is getting really strong- KAHAANI, HIGHWAY, MARY KOM, MARDAANI and now NH 10. WOMEN POWER!!
