Khelenge Ji-jaan se – Future of sports in India

“Kaun kehta hai Hindustan me dum nhi hai, ek baar sports me se politics hta kr toh dekho…gali gali me champion milenge.” – R. Madhavan. Movie: Saala Khadoos.
 
Indians are known for their spirit of living and enjoying the life to fullest, being one of the oldest civilization, india gave world the beauty of music, dance and most importantly sports.
Today too many games that are present to the world from India are still being played, so why it seems like this proactive and young generation country of ours has become a lost star in the sky of sports and athletics.
The madness people of India have for cricket is somehow lost when it comes to enthusiasm of other games and sports. I am not saying that liking or mass-liking a single is bad (but maybe obsessing this, like look people tend to behave so badly to the family of the team players if they ever lose a match.)
 
Actually, this is not the real real problem, the problem is lack of interest for sports in our country youngsters.
There was a time when we as students, used to wait for our sports period because it was like a breath of fresh air from our daily activities but sadly this excitement is also vanishing and sports in school has limited itself to a period.
Schools are the 1st place where a kid is exposed to opportunity of bright future, but what will happen to the future of our country where school teaches us that sports is just a EXTRA period.
Kids want to become astronaut (for a short period of time), doctor,engineer,businessmen etc but not a sports person ( not including cricket here) and by chance any kid dares to see this dream then, our ASIAN parents, with a slipper in their hands and guilt trips in their conversation, are more than enough to kill that dream.
These all were problems on personal basis but what about the problems on qider basis. We can see the bureaucracy and corruption embedded in this too.
Inadequate facilities,  irresponsible behaviour, lack of equipment etc are the problems which can be dealt somehow, but what can we do about the officials who cannot see the name and fame of country in front of their hunger.
Sports is one of the most pious form of arts of our body and mind, here, we exerts ourselves to death, sweat infinitely but still get happy and satisfaction with the result.
But mixing politics and corruption with this art is a shameful act for our country.
There are no of obstacles which are in the way of future of sports in India, which can only be dealt by continuously striking the conscience of the authorities.
Firstly, when any sports man is pursuing his/her sport, he or she has to face many obstacles itself on the first step- training, fees,rules and requirements, bureaucracy, red tapism, brown nosing etc.
After this when finally passing through all this struggles   they qualify for any tournament, they will be kept devoid of standard basic facilities. Is this the respect a person should get who is out there, representing our country in front of so many competitors, and try to win for it.
Definitely not, and why only sports person, we should too criticise and raise our voices for our generation, firstly start with schools and persuade them to teach and let them PLAY too, after all SPORTSMANSHIP is also a subject and that too an important one.
Secondly if your child want to pursue his career in any sports, the least you can do is to support him instead of scaring him off from the unforeseen future.
Knock the  door of the authorities too that either they should improve the level of sports in India or they should stop making comments on the no of golds India wind in Olympics while sipping their tea.
And Lastly you, yes you can too do to. No matter what your age is come out and play,encourage others to, take the kids from your neighbourhood and coach them in the game you are good with. To be honest, it will leave you with happiness and less of guilty of not enjoying your life to the fullest. Today’s genration is too aware and is working with government for the betterment of the field. So why not us too.
Sports is not just only a physical exercise, its an emotion which will make you feel confident, I still regret and is salty over  the fact that I wasn’t given an good opportunity otherwise I would also have at least a memory of me where I was happy with the game I loved.
Also isn’t it time of coming of summer vacations !!!, that’s your chance, go out and make a change.
 
Thanks for reading and double thanks if you actually apply it  in your life.

Coffee pe charcha- the THIRD way

“In November 1989, Elections were held for Lok Sabha for the 525 seats.
Opposing the ruling party Indian National Congress of prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, was a five party national front national coalition formed in 1988 and led by Mr V.P. Singh of Janata dal..”[source:archive.ipu.org]
On one of the normal mornings of 1989, the newspaper would have been printed in such a headline, marking a new phase of Indian politics, a new trend.
The first time the occurrence of ‘fronts’ in Indian politics was found in 1989
which was called as national front led by Janata dal under the leadership of
N.T. Rama. It consisted of several parties like Indian congress(socialist),
Telugu desam party etc.
Third front in Indian politics refers to the various alliances smaller parties at
various points of time since 1989 to offer a third option to Indian voters,
opposing and standing against Indian National Congress and Bharatiya
Janata Party.
One of such is United front which lasted from 1996-1998.
According to Hindustan Times, Telangana chief minister ,who also spearheaded the movement for the separate state, offered to led new front for 2019 polls, if people want him to do so. “A new alliance of political
parties, barring the Congress and the BJP, will emerge soon, probably
before the next general election. It is not going to be the third front, but will
be the main front,” he said.
A front is generally formed when the political parties are neither happy nor
in the mood to support them or they can also see their own opportunity and
equations to form their own government.
Does india really in need of a Third front?
As Telangana CM KCR, announced his proposal of third front of march 4th,
all media channels and portal went haywire, several debates were held on
tv shows (which most probably didn’t had any productive result) to analyse
the effects of the third front, if formed, on BJP, the current ruling party and
INC, the falling competitor.
Many concluded that it would be good for BJP or will have negative points
for it etc, but no body tried to discuss the focal point of any election, that is
the development of the democracy.
As mentioned earlier , in Indian context third party signifies the group that
stands against BJP and Congress with reasons whatsoever, or because of
difference in ideologies AND also to present voters with a third option just
in case.
And for this, like every other party, they too make portfolios, campaigns etc
to propagate their development ideologies etc.
But the practical is always tend to be different from the taught theory to us.
According to many editorials, the dream of the third front is feasible in many
ways, like in the states where Congress or BJP are not in principal position,
local parties themselves cancel each other and would be negative at the
said suggestion of coming up together, nor would Trinamool love to be part
of same coalition according to them. On the other hand the propose third
front could have BSP in it which would be a big catch in itself.
Let’s say for a moment, that this third front is somehow gathered and are
participating in the elections against the said main parties, then what will be
their agenda, motto, issues to sought out and deal with, REFORMS that
they want to bring that were failed by the ruling party etc.The answer to this
can be sought of ambiguous.
The motive of this third front is only to somehow throw out the ruling party
out, they do not have any ideology of their own and are gathered without a motive our resolution to work not only at political front but also at progressive front. The party which itself would have so many disputes
going on with no solution.
After the BJP dominance all over india , parties were out there weaving
new cover over an old dream- that is of federal coalition heading for the
central government position. But in modern political history of india , the
third front was always hyped before the elections but there was no as such
case of craze for the said than the main parties.
Why so??
Such alliances have become a mirror for double standards where voters
see that how their decision for government was being broken and molded
according to their own needs.
Example can be very famous case of SP and Bjp coalition for the seat of
seat of chief minister of UP, where BJP was only to be dumped afterwards.
The history is filled with such cases where alliances and coalition never
hesitate to turn the tide in their favour, ideologies, coalition dharma can be
thrown out of the window like trash in Indian politics scenario.
Except for some parties, they all are personal enterprises with no vision,
mission or objective to offer to people, leaving empty promises for women’s
right, farmer rights, education, anti-capitalism etc. They can switch loyalty
over an eye blink depending on their needs. This is one of the main reason
why third front has never been able to stand with a stable government even
though several opportunities were alloted to them, this is the prominent
reason for their failures and ignorance from voters even though some of
them have good intentions. This solution of third front seems like a last
scope for desperate power hungry politicians.
At a time like this, our country needs no one more party which is solely
made for defeating the ruling party and gobbling up the seats for
themselves, we a leader or party who can see beyond the vision of politics and come up with a better idea or development for the country which would
move it forward on the progressive front.
I am a not a very good analyser of political situations but this is my view on
the position based on the views I have heard on TV, from people,
discussions, debate etc. Please do tell me your view on the “third front” so
that I can widen my vision on it and do correct me if i am wrong.
Lastly the title was such because I wrote this blog while having my coffee
and honestly it helped me a lot.
Thank for reading 🙂

The first flight…?

“1908: when the first airplane went public”, the great invention was fruit of hard work and dedication towards the dream which was visualised by Wilbur Wright. Despite people’s negativity and despise for the idea , they never gave up on this project to fly one day and touch the infinites of sky by breaking all human boundaries. On december 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made their first four flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft and with this
the journey for the better came up.
But their is a twist in the story… what if it is proved that the first flight was made by Indians and that too nearly 7000 years ago.Mentioning them, Captain Anand J. Bodas, the retired principal of a pilot training facility told the Indian Science congress in Mumbai. so , the first flight took place years ago Leonardo Da Vinci developed Aerodynamics and Wright brothers flew their first flight. But how???
A lot of us would have heard the mention of Pushpaka vimana in Ramayana, well we all refer it as a story of good vs evil. But the ones who have the power of applying logic with traditions and aesthetics can see the mention of dozens of vimanas and powerful weapons used at that time which were having a mind blowing degree of science used. Such people came up with many
evidences that these are real life incidents that took place and not any story with the help of dating methods, carbon layers, light of date etc. These proved that aircrafts and other weapons used in Indian epics are facts.
As world came up to know about these facts, curiosity poked them up to go further and to dig on the truth. And now many excavators and archaeologists have found evidences that PUSHPAKA vimana was a reality, they found its port, its technology in old scriptures, its parts which were
dated to be too old to be of this era.
Air strips were found from the time period when air travel was not even a wildest dream.
One of the oldest of Indian texts known as “Vedas” mentioned paras and hymns about chariots of god which used animals but could also fly. According to Rig veda one of the oldest indian text written in between 1700-1100 BCE specifically mentioned “mechanical birds”. It also describes
various kinds of vimanas named after birds, specialities and animals. Another translation from Rig veda verse reads as: “ The vimana jumps into space speedily with a craft using fire and water, containing 12 stamghas (pillars), one wheel, three machines, 300 pivots and 60 instruments…”
Also to mention that the powerful Pushpaka vimana did not had any wheel, gears or break or any instrument to control engine, instead that, the excellent specimen of aircraft was able to go anywhere with the help of command and concentration of the charioteer, say forward, backward, upward or in any direction just like an helicopter. Can you believe it that when scientist today are still struggling for a perfect automated car ride, India centuries ago had it on its own. Such brilliant paradigm found in ancient India which still impossible.
Discovery of some sanskrit documents in Lhasa Tibet revealed a blueprint for building a celestial spacecraft and the method of propulsion was “anti gravitational force”
Doesn’t this all sound like some kind of science fiction, where our ancestors were genius to vitalize such a dream, but does it still looks like too dramatic to believe, so let’s time travel to 1875.
In 1875 a very important discovery was done, and it was of Vaimanika shastra, a 4th century BC textbook written by Saint Bharadhwaj was found inside a temple of India. It allocated knowledge about operation of vimanas information for steering, precautions, protection, method for
switching from fuel to solar energy etc.
According to it, four main types of flying vimanas were described- Rukma, Sundra, Tripura, and Shakuna. All these four designs were miles away from designs of modern aerodynamics, no wings, no similar parts found in today’s normal aircraft.
The Rukma were dyed in gold whereas Sundara were like rockets and a silver sheen. The Tripura had three storeys and Shakuna looked birds. There were 113 subdivisions of these four main types of aircrafts with minor details.

Unfortunately other details and works about them were destroyed in constant warfare and evasions where many of our literatures and texts went missing.
Other old and new books which discuss the same are: Samarangana sutradhara, Vimana: aircraft of ancient India and Atlantis, Rig veda, Chariots of god, Technology of god.
All we can say that the world is full of stupendous tech and machines and our India was one of the oldest country to contribute our knowledge and brilliance to our world. That’s why the world called us as the “Golden bird”
But it is a shame for our generation that such iconical heritages of our country has lost its original knowledge and values due to our ignorance. All we do is blame the country for not being developed or backward while sipping our cup of tea but somewhere we did it before them. So let’s take a step forward towards sheltering and also propagating our knowledge and heritage first before anyone other does so.
Thanks for reading. 🙂
