Awards- Whose Money ??
by Navneeth on Sep 26, 2007 02:12 PM

Not sure if the article is praising or criticizing Narendra Modi ..but what have these guys achieved that awards have to given from the govt. funds ?Nothing that great , it is a 20-20 tournament thats all where anything can happen!!Other CMs haven't gifted a penny from their pockets ..it is the hard earned money of the common man which has been distributed to people who already have got lots. No one cares about winners in other sports like hockey , football(we won Nehru cup recently ), Chess (Vishy is No. 1 from a long time ) , TT , Tennis , etc...Only mantra is criticize when team plays badly and over do things when they win ..Afterall they owed this to the nation for their dismal performance in the WC. We are stil not World Champions , no comparisons with Australia please !! It is just a baby format of the game called cricket ..
Spare a thought about the jawaans who die for the nation , they get a 1Lakh award and a medal thats it if they are lucky that too. Homes , crores of rupees will do them good since their family have lost an earning member ..Wonder how much HD Kumarasamy gave Col. Vasanth's family when he died fighting for the nation , it was not in the headlines too ..but cricketers dancing and pouring champaigne over the national flag is Breaking News these days !! Wonder what has gone wrong with the media , they seem to cover anything and everything which is not required .Will common man get a rebate in IT since India won 20-20 WC ? Mr. FM , we want an answer ..
