Flags everywhere

With the soccer World Cup round the corner, the whole country has assumed a festive look. You can see flags of the favourite teams almost everywhere.--on the rooftops, on the roadside bamboo poles, in the middle of ponds. The fans have given a free rein to their creative faculty in placing these flags. And these flags come in different sizes and shapes. Judging by the colour of the flags, the people of this country--at least those who have access to television-- seem to be divided in two groups--one supporting Argentina and the other Brazil.
Sports can bring people close to each other .This fact is very much evident at this point of time. One hopes that this sense of fraternity will transcend sports ground and usher in an era of international brotherhood and peace.
