Guys...pretty soon the olympics are gonna be here and we would be glued to the screens watching completely horrendous performances doled out by our sportsmen and women. And as we jostle with the world for the medals and find that we are no where near the top in any athletic or sporting field and maybe just maybe land ourselves a piddly little bronze medal..we would find reasons to celebrate our mediocrity, blame the system, the politicians, the sports authorities, the cricketers without once blaming ourselves for not supporting our sons or daughters when they won the the 50m run or won the table tennis championship in the colony sports day, instead we told him/her that "aage badke dhoudna hai ya paise kamane hai ?" and how a dalit student will take his/her seat at an IIT and how he/she has to compete in studies and not waste time playing something that is a no-show in the career dept, and brutally snub out a talent with our preconceived,illogical,completely market driven ideas.Yup in a few days from now we will see kenyans who have a much more pathetic system than ours win 10 times as many medals if not more than us. We will be content to compare ourselves with Pakistan,srilanka or nepal in the medals tally and turn a blind eye to China who will be ringing medals like there is no tomorrow. Yup ladies and gentlemen the next reality game show is the Olympics...so for a few weeks the saas-bahu stories, the IPL cricket, the ambanis, the drama queen politics will stop..

unless we throw out politicians like Kalmadi or Hockey president Gill out ,I am confident India will never win indiviual gold medal in Olympics because these politicians and their men make chai ganginging in all plays ,who oppose them never get any benefits plus lots of obstacles,so player should concentrate on their c continueos improvement and should not get complacent with their 50 per cent victories and feliticians by corrupt kind politicians,All indian Indian players must have minimum target of winning 3 consecutive golds,then only they can give fight to USA,china and Russia ,Australian players,In India all politicians are now concentrating and corrupted manys plays by opening their shpos in gamess, we shoul avoid such practices and aviod glorification of cricket and only Hockey. One Desh Bhakt.
