India Pak world cup match, why so much fuss on who are coming to watch it

Aakhiri Jang, Sabse badi jang, Mahayudh.. these are the terms media is using for the match on 30th. I agree this is no less a contest given the two rival India and Pak is playing and that also in world cup semi finals.
But what frustrates me is giving this match so much hype in things totally un-related to sports. Some are saying this is going to change our relationship, this is a great opportunity for both the countries and so on.. let me be frank, game will come and go, it is not going to change our relationships even an iota..yes..

if playing cricket with Pak is going to solve things then why not play 200 matches in a year?? I agree people from both sides will like this game, then why not just enjoy the game, why we are putting so many tags in this ??

PM is coming to watch the match, PM of Pak is coming to watch the match, Rahul is coming, Priyanka is coming, Robert is coming, even our president is coming, Ambani is coming.. let me be honest almost all of them are coming to enjoy the game and thats all. So let them do that and don't associate such big tags to this.

Even I enjoy cricket and I like it to keep it that way. The world will be the same after this match too.

Simple trick about Captcha (no need to write both letters correctly)

We all know what CAPTCHA is. Only purpose of CAPTCHA is to distinguish humans from automated things like computers. This helps in bogus filling of form, etc.

There are many types of these. One type that I want to describe is TWO word captcha, see image below

Trick is :
You NEED NOT type both the letters correct, you just need to type first letter correct and the SECOND letter you can write anything. Surprised.. this is how it works, try for yourself. How this works is not the topic of this post :-)
