Harbingers of happiness

Pakistan cricket team has brought great joy to the depressed nation facing the titanic problems of terrorism. Congratulations to the team led by Younis Khan and powered by Shahid Afridi among others. This remarkable victory has lessons for all of us. If a team is united it can not be defeated. Similarly if the nation is imbued with the indomitable spirit of unity, faith and discipline, no power on earth can defeat it. One wonders if eleven cricket players can bring such an immense joy to the nation, why can't an army of ministers and hundreds of parliamentarians do something to make the poor people of Pakistan happy? It is the turn of our politicians now to replicate the performance of our cricket team. -B.A. MALIK, Islamabad, via e-mail, June 22.
