I Just Like to start my new post with 2 Quotes:
"Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity."
This Quote & Shobhaa De , a well-known columnist, author, and socialite, with 7.7 lakh followers on Twitter are trending on social sites.
Now an another Quote:
“I feel like a beggar asking for such things”
This Quote won't be so popular as the earlier one, as Shobhaa De like Indians wishes to discuss & create Controversies than finding a little time to share some realities. These words came from the mouth of a sprinter from Odisha called Dutee Chand, who had to run from pillar to post, not for a ticket to Rio but to get running shoes. Until June, her concern was the lack of spike shoes as the ones she used had worn out.
Being an Indian, Shobhaaji has the right to express what he think. We can't blame for that. There are many other Indians too who express their disappointment through different trolls and all. One of my favourite trolls was " Olympics is an event created for the other nations just to insult India once in every 4 years". We can't blame them too. Blindly when we hear such things we would also laugh because it's a reality. Its so sad to hear that Since 1900 India has only won 26 medals (out of which the bronze that Saina Nehwal won in London 2012 was a gift from her opponent who withdrew from finals after sustaining a calf injury) which reveal the fact that our athletes don't perform well when it matters the most.
But Being a Small Sportsman, a hardcore Sports Addict, I won't Blame our Athletes for their Performance and I would be there with them in my prayers, especially in the bad patch.
Its like claiming a gold ,When the Athletes like Dutee Chand and all participates. That's how Our Olympians are living in this world before Olympics starts. Unlike other countries We just discuss these Olympians only during Olympics or Asian Games. That attitude has to be changed. When we treat an athlete like an engineer,a doctor or as any other professional the things would change. The money given to the medalists after winning should be given 3-4 years before when they start practicing to achieve their goal.
Through Shobhaaji's tweet, she simply meant that Indians are fools to invest Athletes like our Hockey skipper Sreejesh, a farmer's son from Kerala, who took to sports at the age of six to realise his Olympics dream in Rio.I just mentioned his name as She tweeted on the day our Indian Hockey Lost to Germany in the last seconds. We all know that even though India have a great past in Hockey, our team didn't qualify for the Beijing Olympics,was last in the London Olympics and Germany,our opponents,the 4-time Olympic Gold Medalist won their 4th gold in London. Still, the side and the skipper,who started from zero didn't give up, they tried their level best, but unfortunately an extra time goal changed the things against their favour. In Games these things are common, the only thing we could do is just curse yourself for being unlucky. Yesterday the Same Indian Side beat Argentina. Not just Gold defines glory, we have to appreciate the hard work too.
When we blame our Olympians one thing keep in mind burden of carrying the hopes of a billion plus Indians are on their shoulders. You and I, mere wordsmiths, won't comprehend it. Let us not even try.
The Indian woman's national field hockey team has qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics for the first time since the 1980 Summer Olympics and they lost to giants like Australia and Britain cheaply. What we audience watch is "they lost", they forgot "they qualified since 1980". Kabir Khan and all happens in movies only, in real life we have to wait for miracles and hopefully God will do such miracles in some hardworking athletes in coming days. Many such stories! Dipa Karmakar the first Gymnast from India to qualify for the games. Can we Imagine an Indian attempting extremely risky Produnova? When the whole world appreciates her, a well known Indian is insulting our athletes.
There is a joke in our country, now we call it as the troll: " How will we become athletes When our SCIENCE -MATHS teachers borrow the P.T. PERIOD( OR GAMES HOUR)!" This is a joke, but its a reality in many of our schools. Unlike China and all, we Indians are not giving importance to Games as we give to other professions. How many parents in this country wish their child to become a sportsman? In states like Kerala Media and all have time to celebrate a Politician's Resignation from a party, but don't have time to discuss their Olympians when the medal tally is ZERO.Unlike other nations, Our Athletes don't have money, enough infrastructure, still, they perform to make our nation proud, improves day by day! LEAVE ALL THAT. TRANSFORMING AN INDIAN TO AN OLYMPIAN IS AN ANOTHER BIG TOPIC TO DISCUSS,BUT NOT FOR NOW.
"I am sure, with our support, things will change. I, for sure, am going to be with our athletes, especially when the chips are down.” The amount of confidence that the Indian Contingent gets from these words said by Great Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is something we can't even imagine . So Shobha De, Please don't discourage our athletes by making such comments, especially in between the games. You don't know the impact of a "good wish" especially when the Indian Contingent is down. Let us follow the words of Sachin, the greatest ambassador of sport in our country.
The first half hasn’t gone according to our plan, our expectations. But still, there are many Sainas and Tintus to Participate. So as SACHIN Said, "Be with them, be behind them".
Did PARIS Said "“Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity” in French? " After the agonising fall of French gymnast, Samir Ait Said when he broke his left leg ???
"AM Mr.X REPRESENTING INDIA SIR"
BE PROUD & SAY IT LOUD!

ReplyDeleteSo true man!!! It's even harder when they criticise when not even have tried playing it themselves!!! Good job!! Keep it up......��
ReplyDeleteYes we shouldnt criticize them. Also we should not expect too much. Every country neednt be all rounders. As they represent our nation its our duty to support them, not to blame them for failure. Again it just shows the true colour of Indians that seen just when Indian cricket team loses 2 consecutive matches. Also our country is a developing country and is not a well developed country like England or US and that matters.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion this is due to the fact that the deserved ones are not getting their opportunities. The worst thing about India is corruption which is a major practice in every fields. Even in the selection procedures it takes place and so the poor deserved ones are not getting their chances.
