The 2025 ICC Champions Cricket Tournament is being hosted by Pakistan

However, the cricket match between India and Pakistan is not being played in Pakistan but in Dubai

A Pakistani messaged me on whatsApp ” Sir, is there any specific reason why the Indian cricket team is not allowed to visit Pakistan even in a multilateral event, depriving us the pleasure to host the Indian team and visitors, when all others are here ? “.

To which I replied ” Security reasons. Both our countries have plenty of madcaps “

When I posted the above interaction on my fb page, someone commented  :

” Not madcaps, sir, they have gadha ( donkey) mindsets “

To which I responded :

” Donkey population has increased in Pakistan “

I don’t have the data about increase in donkey population in India, but my guess is that the situation should be the same as in Pakistan. 

There was a film made some years back called ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’.

I think the time has come to make a new movie titled ‘Rise of the Planet of the Donkeys’. It should be a great hit in India and Pakistan
