If you know anything about rivalries, the biggest is the India-Pakistan rivalry.

The India-Pakistan cricket rivalry is a big one. I don't think I have ever seen such heated matches; even people that could not care less about sports get into cricket arguments. As George Bernard Shaw once said, "Cricket is a game played by 11 fools and watched by 11,000 fools.”

I have grown up in a house where when the two teams play against one another it is a win-win for us. We never had any animosity for the opposing team because both countries are home. That is extremely rare. My mom is from India and my dad is from Pakistan, so I have the best of both worlds. There are beautiful things about both, things that make me proud to say that I am associated with that country. There are also terrible things about both, things that upset me and make me angry with the choices of the people of the country.

I want to focus on the positives and stay optimistic for the future of both. Personally, I don't believe the split of Hindustan should have ever happened in 1947. We have had three major wars and countless conflicts but all over what? Religion? Land?

But again, on the positive side, what are some things that I love about both? Other than cricket?

1. Street Food!

From Lahore's famous Food Street to Delhi's bread pakora stands- the food is to die for!
