Have you ever been in a packed stadium full of cheering fans, heard the deafening roar when the ball flies out and felt the blood rush to your face? A collective roar connects us all in a fundamental way that no amount of conversation can. Something like that happened Sunday evening. An eerie silence all through the day culminated at 5 pm with millions across the country, clapping, banging thalis, bells and dongs to say 'Thank you', and also, I think, to say we are in this together.
