The South Asian nations have always been found passionate
about cricket. The arch rivals like India and Pakistan supported by emotional
spectators add more thrill to this game. Both the nations celebrate the victory
and mourn the defeat through different means and methods, but the later rides
on nerves for a long time until a suitable way of catharsis is found.
The Indian crowd known for its furious nature and not willing
to accept the defeat at any cost, is another unique phenomenon that adds more
color, suspense and charm to cricket fever in the subcontinent. In the past the
burning of houses of the Indian players, stoning, and other examples of
violence were common, which are not seen since long as the Indian teams has
delivered very well in the nail-biting situations. On the other hand, the poor
Pakistani crowd can be truly called the ‘silent-spectators’ who bear all the
humiliation without any protest accepting it as something pre-written or simply
their destiny, what the common people call it. But, ironically the outcome of
emotions of this silent crowd is not always silent and most often felt in
various modes of communication. In the near past, Mr.Zardari, WAPDA, Raymond
Davis, Abbot Abad Operation and Veena Malik have been the most discussed people
and events through SMS and Social Media like (Facebook, Twitter etc.). The
catharsis on social media has become a routine matter thus making it one of the
most effective medium of communication.
Mr. Misbahul
Haq, alias Mr.Tuc Tuc who changed Pakistan’s victory against England in
the last T-20 match into defeat, has earned reached the climax of popularity (Badnaam
agar ho gayay kya naam na hoga???)
and is the most cursed individual on this planet after President Bush.
(Although Octopus has predicted that Misbah will beat him after the Asian Cup
is over).
Here are some
examples about how social media is formulating the public opinion and what the
fans of Mr.Tuc Tuc pay tribute to this legendary player-the player of the
millennium.

All the
above mentioned examples explain the truth about the social media as the place,
where people can freely express their feelings without the fear of censorship.
Although it contains material that could require a defined code of ethics, but
even then, if seen through the prism of expressionism, one can conclude that
social media has turned out to be the most powerful media. As far as the
contents or matter is concerned, I hope it will always find people like Misbah,
Veena and Zardari to provide good food for thought.
