May the Force be with India!


This evening I was switching across Television channels and it happened to be one of those days. Channel after channel, there was nothing interesting to watch. I was just back from a late night trip from Pune,India. Reached Mumbai at around 3:30am and hit the sack at around 4am this morning. The drive down from Pune - Mumbai was fast and wet. It was raining and the road was covered with rain water. Add to that fog and high beam lights from the trucks across.

Back to the TV Channels, switch to news and I watch the qualifying of Belgian grand prix and stunned to watch Force India on Pole!. Not sure if it is sleep still in my head I switch to another news channel and see the same. Excited, I jump around my living room in joy, Force India has done it! India has been finally put on the pole. I tell me father about it and he responds, "I have no clue what is so exciting about watching cars go in circles"? And I respond well its a sport and an exciting one too. You will only like it if you put some positive energy in it.

Fisi - Force India driver, what can I say, but to a nation of 1.2 billion people you are a hero my friend. As a true Star wars fan let me say for tomorrows race " May The Force Be With YOU"

Congratulations - Vijay and team. You have made this Indian and all of India proud!
