Re: Just some thoughts about FIRST I had while trying to fall asleep during build season

A lot of you might think that this is just dumb but i'll say it anyways.

Bieng the cricket Fan i am, i was watching a very anticipated match between Pakistan and India. Now if you know even a bit of history about these countries, they are known to be rivals, and even a simple sports match turns out to be a war. This match was taking place in a city of pakistan, and much booing and security concerns were expected geared towards India. but i was simply amazed at how the crowds and teams handelled themselves. India won the match by only 5 runs(very very close) and there was a silence for a second as the majority of the crowd was pakistani, but than something amazing happeend the crowd stood up and started clapping, the players started congratulating each other and it was a heart warming site.

This all reminded me of FIRST, and how the world can be a wonderful place if we all take FIRST as our way of life. I hope we start seeing this kind of GP more often.
