Hey guys A friend of mine forwarded it to me. Regards, Nish [mail follows...] An email from an Indian after his visit to Pakistan for the 1st one day match between India and Pakistan
Folks, This mail has nothing to do with work. Just wanted to share certain very overwhelming experiences. Had been to Karachi for the 1st one dayer on Saturday. 1. Imagine 39,990 Pakistanis & 50 of us Indians cheering lustily 'for' each other, throwing chocolates at us !!. Quite a few were carrying the flags of both countries imaginatively stitched together. Then they all stood to give a standing ovation to the Indian cricket team! 2. Guy on the street selling 'bhuttas' refused to accept money saying that we were 'mehmaan' in their country!! 3. People rushing to shake our hands on the streets & asking us to come to their home for dinner 4. Restaurant owners refusing to accept the bill payment after coming to know that we were from India 5. Everybody we met & we met quite a few, had some relative staying in India. 6. Star plus is the most favourite channel in Karachi 7. There was a TV star called Heena ?? who was sitting in the stadium, one Pakistani put up a impromptu banner saying "Heena, will u marry me ?"!! 8. Shops gave us 40 to 50% discount ...........India again 9. Taxis, autos, army guys......the list is endless.......everywhere loads of courtesy, respect..... more than we would get in our own country !!!!! It is really sad that we have an impression of that country that is so negative. I shudder to think of the plight of Pakistanis who would come to India when the Indo-pak matches will happen here. Sad that we consider ourselves 'secular' & yet will spare no thought before making negative statements on that country. It's sad but true; this experience teaches one that......"Perception is not reality". Thank u for sparing your time.[...end of mail...]

Hi, I do not know how much of this is true. However, looking at the matches on television, I must say the people have Pakistan seem to be remarkably hospitable. I am extremely glad that they have shown this side to everyone. I just hope that we will return the hospitality. Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress

Nish, you get my 5 just for the sentiment. Why vote a post hoping for peace and understanding down? Unless it is at the expense of others and I do not read that here. Why vote Smitha's reply a 5 even if totally true? So many claim they want peace around here and do so with open racist remarks every day, is just (well I am speachless.) If two people who have lived next together for centuries have no tolerance or hardly an attempt of understanding why does anyone think those that live far appart (European culture and Arabic) will have any real understanding in our life time?

Even if this mail is untrue, it is good to see people at a cricket match enjoying the sport together. The tigress is here :-D

hi guys, I am a Pakistani. Whatever Nishant S is described is true. Actually Pakistanis are by nature are hospitable, friendly and good people. But there are few groups who have their own way. And media is represening these groups not whole Pakistan. If u ever visit Pakistan you will find good people. Naeem Razzaq

I think MOST people of both countries are like that, but there are some hardliners on both sides who are responsible for the misunderstandings between the two countries. C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg
