Champs

I am totally outraged!!! I know I'm writing after ages but the Commonwealth Games have got me thinking. I must say our sportsstars have outdone themselves ths time. I am quite proud of their extraordinary performance - be it the shooters trained under Kerala's own Sunny Sir or our wrestlers, we have been provling our mettle with Indian vigour. I know  am not the only person going "Chak De India" but the CWG's quibbles that they will not include wrestling in the next games has made me furious. And just when we have won about 10 golds in that category. We are no sprinters or gymnasts. We do not have ace swimmers or high jumpers. But when we prove ourselves with a sport that goes back centuries in our blood, we find people want it taken out. How can we keep silent? As a nation that has stood up to its battles, we have another one now in the sports arena. My one advice would be the words of musician Rahman - Come On India Dekha do!
