First Indian Olympic gold!

I feel so proud of  Abhinav Bindra for being the first Indian to win Olympic gold for India!

Its a fantastic achievement for this 20 something sportsman. Honestly speaking I was cribbing about India’s performance the other day, how bad we are in sports arena, there is no sportsmanship, why we can’t have chak de story in reality and why we don’t promote sports in our schools.

After experiencing Singapore way of life for a year I was desiring for so many things which we can have in India and promotion of sports is one of those things. This is a fact that any kind of sport helps in having good health and activity in life. In Singapore playing Badminton, Tennis, Golf, going for swimming at weekends is a part of life , but in our place in India we have to think twice if we want to pursue some sports hobby  due to lack of facilities.When we worry of putting weight we think of joining gym rather than going for some sports activity.

Noway I am criticizing India. But just want to appeal to concerned authorities to take steps to provide sports facilities within the city. We always criticize our sportsman lack that spirit for sports. But why don’t we look at the reasons behind this disappointment.There is so much politics, lack of accessible sports facilities, lack of promotion for sports in school, low economic profile etc.

In our country Cricket is the only game which has got recognition, charm, and attraction.But no other game.

What  I think  its the matter of attitude. As individuals we have to bring that change in that attitude of not giving importance to sports in our life and in our kids life.So if we really want more Abhinav Brindas in future then better we start playing!
