The OLympic Medal And all that hypocrisy



۩ सर्व शकितमते परमात्मने श्री रामाय नमः۩
The Most boring thing happening these days is the olympic medal victory.
Sheer shameless Hypocrisy
* The most disgusting thing is presence of actor boxers in newsrooms, to tell you where who made the mistake and what really happened.
* People are dancing up and down that a wrestler won a bronze medal.Do they know that he had won a silver medal in the 2006 commonwealth games?Had these very same people and news people rejoiced in a similar fashion when this very man had won an Arjuna Award.

* Look at the facilities these people have grown up on.The government now so jubilant should hang their head in shame.
* The media, especially the hindi channels have shown another low they can achieve.A boxer,Akhil lost the bronze medal, and they are discussing and criticizing why he lost that match.
I am not a boxing fan, still i feel satisfied that someone had the guts,the spirit to wish a gold medal for himself and his country.If he lost, i don't want to hear a post motem of his performance.
* Abhinav Bindra again,the same case like the wrestler, is a known name in the shooting sport.
He has a long list of medals and achievements.Still it was only after a Gold medal in Olympics he is now a national hero, as the media reports it. Shame on us.
*How many people were actually anxious to see the boxing match, the wrestling match or even know anything about the shooting event?
* In cricket we are not doing well,at the same time when we are experiencing one of the best olympics performances.What a co-incidence.
I agree there are general rules such as survival of the fittest, and appreciation after only you have done something great.But here our nationalism is at stake i feel.
A sports person rightly said the other day."Its only once in 4 years when the country remembers us" This is a bitter truth and i don't see any reason to be excited that after around 100 years , one person in a population of billion plus, won a gold medal, in a sporting event many of us aren't even aware of.

Jai Shri Ram!!!

@ solitary sailor
I once came up with a topic for debate in my univ. I think it summarises what tushhar tried to convey ..
Indians: awakened or ephemerally instigated fools ?

Press 9 for a Crime by Shailendra Jha— Can a family fight a scam empire?

I read Shailendra Jha’s Press 9 for a Crime with my late-night lamp on; it’s a razor-sharp, humane thriller set between East Delhi and scam hubs in Southeast Asia . Fast, funny, and disturbingly real, it follows Aseem’s risky rescue of his missing brother. This review analyses theme, craft, character work and why the book both alarms and entertains and lingers. Why did this book grab me at once? Have you ever opened a book at midnight because the world outside felt suddenly less interesting than the danger on the page? That was me with Press 9 for a Crime . As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, believable stakes, and characters I care about. Jha gives me both within the first ten pages. The opening scenes place you in a cramped East Delhi neighbourhood and you instantly feel the hum of small-town hopes: the son who promises escape through a “job in Bangkok”, the ledger of family debts, the refrigerator light in a kitchen where dreams are rationed. Jha’s background in journa...

The Price of Genius by Binit Priyaranjan Book Review: What Does India's Chess Revolution Truly Cost?

 India's rise from producing an occasional chess genius to becoming a global powerhouse is one of modern sport's most compelling stories. The Price of Genius by Binit Priyaranjan looks beyond trophies and headlines to reveal the families, coaches, failures, philosophy, and relentless pursuit that shape champions. This review examines where the book shines, where it stumbles, and why it deserves attention beyond the chess community. Have you ever Wondered What It Costs to Raise a Genius? Every generation inherits a comforting myth about greatness. We tell ourselves that prodigies are born with something the rest of us simply do not possess. A Mozart sits at a piano before he can properly write his own name. A Tendulkar seems destined to hold a cricket bat. A Viswanathan Anand appears to calculate combinations with supernatural ease. These stories reassure us because they reduce excellence to destiny. If genius is a gift bestowed upon a fortunate few, then the rest of us are sp...
