India’s Chances at Beijing Olympics

Each time Olympics arrive I feel ashamed of being an Indian. A population of more than a billion cannot grab a single gold medal in any individual event. Isn’t it as shame for us – Indians?

 

Someone might say, it’s less than a month to go for Beijing Olympics and it is not the right time to say so. However, any Indian reading this piece would certainly agree to my viewpoint. It’s a SHAME that we have not nurtured our human resource like the way other small countries like Sri Lanka has done.

 

I would like to say ‘Why to participate in a sphere where we can’t excel?’ We should either increase our effort to garner more respect in the sphere of games and sports or we should stop financing them altogether.

 

Yes, in cricket we have certainly made some mark but not in others. Gold medals at Olympics and World Cup football are the events that make one feel proud. I just want to be proud of the country where I am born. Is it the wish which won’t be fulfilled before I am laid to rest? Is it too much to ask for from a nation that has billion plus population.

 

I believe everything is possible provided, we have the temperament and backing of right institutions/persons to do so.

 

Hope this Beijing Olympics makes me proud as an Indian. Just waiting for an Indian chances at Beijing Olympics. – Amen

Let us throw it out

Got this poster from an old friend’s page. Couldn’t resist publishing it in my blog. I hope that anyone who sees this, should consult a doctor or physician who can help him/her get out of it. This poster is a wakeup call for all those who are affected by drug abuse.

Let us pledge that we shall throw Drugs menace from our lives.
