American Dream

Namaskar Tau,
Have u heard about an America Dream? They kept talking about a certain American dream tau, when i first landed in USA it sounded so much larger than life, glamorous, possesion of the rich like the precious pearls and rubies of old. Now I am slowly realising that even the common man posseses it here, . no tau, i am not getting emotionally carried away or weighed down by the power of the dollar against the rupee tau. Ok let me give u a simple example. 50-70% of the native Americans may not know what cricket is. But there are 25 grounds with proper pitches in my city alone. And The amazing part is no one destroys the pitches in the darkness of the night while there is no one watching, and matches are never decided by fist fights or worse by hitting the bat on someones head. People from 3-4 countries play this game together here, share experiences and pain and make it a larger than life experience. Aint it living an American dream tau? for a person who loved the game and entered this country thinking that he may never even be able to watch it?
Okay Tau, I have to go to sleep now, I just played a 40 over game todayand have to watch the india - wi world cup game online tomorrow, buffering is also quick in this country tau. ;-)
