first of all, is cutting a cake with tricolor an insult? that means, are you insulting yourself when you cut a cake which has "Happy Birthday " written on it..i have so far believed that you are basically celebrating and not insulting when cutting a cake..may be i am not understanding something here..
are all these so-called proud citizens doing anything for the country or atleast for their neighborhood? a BIG NO would be the answer..however, when it comes to sports especially cricket they will show their so-called national pride..big hypocrites..i don't know when they will realize that its after all a sport, winning or losing is just a part of it and enjoyment should be the most important outcome of any sport and not national pride..
though I am a supporter a team, here in this case Indian team, I watch sports purely for the entertainment it provides and there is no one who can provide better entertainment than Sachin..whether India wins or loose is another matter for me..
its too much happening for Sachin these days..i pray for you my brother..
