पहले मेडल दिखाईयो फिर ईनाम पाईयो !!

Ugte Suraj ko to koi bhi salaam karta hai janaab....par kabhi uun anginat hunarpe bhi jara gaur farmaaiyega jinme Suraj banne ki kaabiliyat ho!!

Sindhu's success is definitely a proud moment for every Indian. However showering crores of rupees on her (along with Deepa and Sakshi) only because she won an Olympic medal...is it justifiable? Instead, invest that money judiciously on the basic requirements of all the participants sent for Olympics on time during their preparation phase.

This Indian mindset is observed right from our school days. In school, most of the teachers pay more attention towards their 'Bearer cheques' who are going to bring glory to their schools. The not so brilliant students are the real ones who require their special attention but why to invest efforts at meager salaries on 'duffers' is the mindset!! 

Somewhere, those needy students does sense this disparity. It magnifies after the results are out. Not only the concern board but school, local MLAs, parents keep on showering rewards, money and what not on the 'Gang Of Brilliance' but the average performers keep wondering about their survival in the cut-throat competition waiting ahead to devour them. Out of fear, some of them finish their own race before entering into it !!

The scene doesn't change when we grow up facing hardships. When a not so rich family struggles hard to meet their daily minimum requirements, hardly any relative bothers about them. Sensible people from such struggling family keep this anger alive in their heart and fight all the odds to become successful in life. They change their own fate. Then suddenly things change. All the relatives get attracted towards these 'Once Upon Poor People'. Suddenly the relatives find talent and words of praises for those successful strugglers.

Let's check the scene after this. Corporate World too maintains the same culture. You may give your heart, sweat and entire life for an organization sacrificing your personal life but none counts in front of your boss or the organization as a whole. This picture changes the moment you put down your papers. Suddenly you are treated more than the CEO of an organization just to save an important KRA of 'Attrition'. Suddenly you hear pleasant things about yourself which you were dying to hear since so many years working hard over there but never heard.

The absurd retention process offers you a minimal hike, a new post, possible relocation or an onsite chance for which you were never thought off when you were really slogging hard before you put down the papers.

At every strata of society, the same indifferent treatment of individuals is seen and nothing has ever changed and may not ever change.

China does an analysis on India about why the 2nd most populated nation cannot produce multiple medals in any of the Olympics......but India maintains their tradition of showering accolades and money only after a substantial output shown to them.

Who knows how many medals may have diverted their path only because required financial aid was not available/reached to the player when needed...but still fighters like Deepa Karmakar, Sakshi Malik rises above all the odds and force the World to take their notice.

2 days back, DNA (Daily News Analysis) showed a very good statistics of how much money is invested on universities. ...research work and on overall education system in India. At the same time, they showed how a very less amount is invested on Sports and its development. ...and still...hopes of winning many medals in international arena is a must.

C'mon Indians, be practical. First sow the seeds to reap the benefits. Don't water a tree only because it gave you sweet fruits. ....instead try to be there during every struggling phase/journey of that plant till it grows into a sweet fruit bearing tree!

Anyways hats-off to P.Gopichand for paving a way for 2nd Olympic medal for India....Congrats Sindhu!!!

Congrats Sakshi, Deepa and Aditi

We hope that tomorrow, when you will retire from your respective games, you will surely support a needy sportsperson when he/she really needs a real help rather than announcing free flight trips or a house of 1000 sq.feet or offering crores of rupees only when they win a medal for the country !!!
