There are many people who have expressed that this medal tally is small compared to what money was sanctioned or the size of our nation and some such ways of comparing. Sure every one is entitled to an opinion. And I have the following to add to those opinions already in circulation:
- I saw a higher degree of sportsmanship spirit among all Indians- Public, Participants, Volunteers and Viewers. No, I m not suggesting- "let us forget and forgive' as far as corruption in organizing is concerned.
- I saw Indian Winners weren't hungry for lime light in media and that is a very good trend.
- Every Indian can learn a thing or two from Saina Nehwal. First could be, how to look proper & smart and same time not appear to be conspicuously glamorous.
- Other thing to be learned is how to keep cool when chip are down. She kept her cool when she was about to loose the Gold, towards the end of the second game.
- Next thing Saina gave us is- 'Keep working harder with intensity and supreme focus to meet the challenge of the situation before us and not to worry'.
- If Mahabharat's Arjun did exist on this land once upon a time, this time round he has taken birth as Saina Nehwal for she personifies all his qualities while she is at work. And in that respect her Gold Medal is just another beginning of an era we shall all remember for a long time.
Finally, let us take these and such other lessons to other Indians and help each other grow the way our sporting stars have grown in past few years.
