To the Critics

This is in response to some articles i read about the Gold medal.
"In such a hugely populated country we were able to produce Single Gold medal"

First of all this is huge achievement,really huge,this equals to nothing in past.I mean the first Indian individual Gold.Why do people compare the ratio of population with sports ? What has population got to do with sports ? Does it mean the most number of sports person in a country will produce that number of medals ? How many of us would b interested in sports,other than cricket we ppl don't play any other sport (i mean most of us)

We may have the second largest population but it doesn't mean we have the quality,im not saying we don't have talent.There are some untapped talent.But sadly we just don't know where it lies.We don't have the infrastructure,we can't afford to even give food for the needy at affordable price of ppl in BPL(below poverty line)

Its too easy to blame,too easy to criticise.This medal is an inspiration for many more sports person.We will get some more medals.But ppl must understand what sport is all about.
Its the same situation as a quote goes"No one wants to Die,but everyone wants to go to Heaven" No one is willing to take up sports as a profession,but wants medals.
Have we done justice to our talents ? how many of us would have tapped our talent in sports and would have taken it seriously ? ya its a risk to take sports as profession,it may click or it may not.We ppl must change our minds,we all want to be an Engineer,Dr,acc......some thing or other that gives an assured sum as salary.Im not saying all we ppl should leave our professional talent and concentrate on sports,im just saying,if at all we find a sensational talent we must nurture it.

Society turns it back when people take up sport,cinema or politics as a profession everything has its major drawback as it may click only for a few.But how many ppl wud have been advised not to take any of these as profession ? Ppl discourage others too,who knows whats hidden in whom.anyone can spring in surprise,anyone can achieve if he/she has the talent.

We must cherish this victory,he has broken the jinx,he has created history,he has inspired a contingent waiting for their turns.
He will inspire many more talents to come,this will convince ppl to take sport seriously,this will change the nation's face in sports.

People who criticise about the gold medal must realise this is a rising,don't expect the sun to shine right away.Feel happy that the sun is rising.We as Indians should be united in celebrating our fellow mate,our Hero for his achievement.If at all we find a person with talent,at least lets not discourage. Its morale that matters the most.

We have been gifted a wonderful present by Abhinav on this Independence day.Lets Cherish,Lets celebrate,Lets wish him.

Hope we win some more medals and mark this Olympics as beginning of new era in Indian sports history.
