Olympics……In India


 


 Olympics
From last 15 days…This word has been used in Media. Even the commercials of the Big companies used it liberally….To my surprise even the State government of some state has announced in a one Big page advertisement that of the total participants maximum are from there state and also declared an amount for every prize winner….
This looks so colorful to see everyone are so eager …And making special programs and campaigns like Go for Gold, Gold Quest etc….


This time a total of 88 participants from India represented on the world’s Big stage…There were many hopes that this time India would better its performance and may get more respectable position on the medal tally charts..
But as the games progressed we could see one by one many of our participants coming out of the battle..But still every day morning when I switch on the news, they will have a cover story of one more player participating for that day…and the News Readers cheering them for Gold….
On the other hand whenever I am seeing the Games On the sports channel, our neighbor China tops the list…some times the 2 spots of the 3 are taken by Chinese…. I just wanted to find the difference between the most populace country and the second most …..


I don’t except our government to behave like Chinese by keeping the top sports persons of their country in a sports village and denying them to meet their family until 4 years….
But what I expect is not to expect much of our sports persons when you are not providing the minimum support and minimum planning...Whenever there are Olympics there is a lot of noise with the sports authorities in selecting the teams and sending them for training and this happens mere 6 months time span….and you people expect them to excel …how can this match with the rigorous training given to the athletes of USA and China..
Let me ask you a question here…How many of us would want to see our children in wrestling or Boxing or Swimming or say any other sport for that matter….we want our children to study and study and study….We don’t mind once in a while if they play with cricket bat….


We are not letting any other sport to grow…we are too obsessed with cricket…..Children should be exposed to different games at a very early age and sports should be part of their curriculum..
The foundation should be strong before dreaming of constructing sky scrapers…. Provide more opportunities for our athletes to participate in more international events…Organize more events in India..So that sport culture may be induced in society…Announcing millions of rupees to the athletes after they win a medal is not the way it has to be managed….I don’t try to show that it not the right way to show their happiness..but what I feel is provide them good courts fields pools and tracks with millions of rupees…then results will automatically come….



One more thing has to change I the attitude prospect …We in India are more towards the ranking system…be it in sports or studies…we want to judge a person by their rank…we are forgetting a basic element here…First we should make children focus on the betterment of their time and technique ..They should try to better their timing..And the position automatically falls in place….


We as the citizens can bring this change…let our kids be exposed to sports..Not everyone can become an Olympian but in that process they can have all-round development

Enthavaraku Endukoraku????

HI Friends.... I love listining songs.... I listen all kinds of songs which has good lyrics in it... let that be fast beat or a slow melody... I have a big list of songs... But for all of us.. there will be few songs which will not go away from our heart... I too have many such ...but among them the song from the Movie GAMYAM tops the list... written by Sirivennala Sitharama shastry I really love the meaning.... Enthavaraku endukoraku intha parugu ani adakku.. gamaname ne gamyamithe baata lo ne brathuku doruku.. ( meaning : PLease do not ask the reason and the destination for the Race.... If the travelling is the end result you wish to have then you will find your life in the path(way) ) Just look at the above 2 sentences: The combination of the words used here are great..... You cant get the meaning at one go... prashna lo ne badulu vundhe gurthu patte gunde nadugu.. ( Meaning: The Answer to the question lies in itself... ask the heart which identifies it ) prapancham neelo vunnadani ...

My Musings on Sad reality...

As I walked down the streets and entered into my colony....So called 'The Coconut Garden Layout' I saw many trees cut down....That made me write this article... After seeing this i lost hope in good healthy future Let me first brief about the layout I live in....The day I was taken by my husband to show the new rented apartment which we were looking to move in Bangalore....This area greeted me with lots and lots of trees... That too Coconut trees...Thus the name of the layout 'Coconut Garden Layout'  was justified.. Full of Life...Full of trees I happily agreed to move into this apartment ...As I could see greenery...And awesome ventilation... Within few months of me coming into the apartment I saw few trees being cut of and apartments being made...This really was disheartening to me....Slowly I could see more and more trees being cut and apartments being made.... I have been to Bangalore earlier...Quite few years back...Then it was kNown as Garde...

Live your Life....

Hi Friends, A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress." "What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups. Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tool...
