Let me start with the title explanation - "One Billion Hearts, One Wish", It's all about winning a Cricket World Cup 2011.. Yes, every Indian had a dream to win it and finally dream comes true on 2nd April 2011, Saturday. It was played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai between India and Sri Lanka and the tournament was won by India who defeated Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in the final. India became the first nation to win a World Cup final on home soil...
That was the historic day for all Indian..(I believe more than a billion...). The day which will be cherished for years to come. Every one was so delighted, scenes on every streets in India on that night was , unforgettable. People were on the street with the India flags, chanting with "India..India...India", "Bharat Mata ki Jai.." etc. There were some celebrations taken place in other parts of world, people had celebrated this historic win in their best way at abroad... That was the day I wish I would be in India to be a part of that extravaganza... But here we have celebrated with some sweets and somosas with friends...We didn't get the opportunity to go on streets with flags and all, as we used to have in India, though we enjoyed the victory.

I was most happy for Sachin, he deserves this WC. It has been more than 20 years of cricketing career and he was an integral part of 6 world cups.
But finally that was the day when Sachin's dream comes 
true.......and wait for the moment which he has been waiting for years comes to an end...and that's on his home ground in Mumbai..You can't get better than this !!...

I'm not sure how this can be explained but let you know that something I contributed to this win...not by watching matches or celebrations with samosa n sweets after the
win but something unusual. I didn't shave my beard for the entire duration of wc and had fast on the final match. :) :)....I know that sounds bit weird but yes that what I did ...or you can say that's may way to offer a prayer to god in favor to India win!
