Reporting from ….

13 November 2008 14 Comments

Neighbour rivalry like Israel/Palestine, Australia/New Zealand and of course India/Pakistan at its best. :D

Have you ever watched a live cricket/hockey match between India and Pakistan in a stadium ? I have.

The whole atmosphere of hooting, shouting, jumping and pumping, passion & patriotism running at all time high is nothing compared to what I experienced today here just a few meters away from Pak territory.

Yes, this is Cuckoo reporting from Wagah border (India Pakistan international border). Details will follow soon once I am back.

    Yes, as long as there are borders, there will always be rivalry…

    Hi Cuckoo! Sorry for the long delay in coming here, but the last two weeks were too hectic! I’m missing your posts; just wondering how did you manage to survive the match… ;) )
    Meanwhile Blogtrotter is back to Greece in November 2007, and looks forward to seeing your comment! Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!

    I feel at home with the terrain on the otherside, the road, the traffic (the cycle carrying three) etc. Eagerly waiting for your narration. Thanks.

    Hi.. Wagah is in Pakistan. Atari is the last village in India. I understand that we are now officially calling this the Atari Border.

    Abhay,
    Village Wagah is divided in two parts, one is in Pakistan and the other is in India. Read the following link here.

    Yes, I agree Attari is the last whole village in India but if they plan to officially call it Attari border that means Pakistan is again encroaching into India by shifting international border.
