Re: 2nd Semi-Final: Pakistan v India at Mohali, Wed March 30
I am proud of the crowd we had in mohali. it was the microcosm of the greater India. from film celebrities to the singers, common men to the politicians, sportsmen to the lallu, richest of the richest to the poor , people from the every religion every one was united for one cause and backing our team.
Our big politicians and god like movie stars were sitting in common crowd cheering the team.
Hotels in mohali and chandigarh were full and people were letting visitors to stay in their homes. There was no parking space in chandigarh airport due to the heavy influx of private planes. even the amritsar airport was full and denying flights.
I am also proud of your PM to accept the invitation and come over with a good sporting delegation. He looked like to have come in peace , there was not a drop of attitude in his actions.
but i agree with one point, crowd wasnt making as much noise as it should have been. bangalore crowd is much more lively
