The Rise of Indian Sporting Prowess

 Dt 14 Sep 2021

 

   Its been quiet  a glroious patch for Indian sports over the last few months. It all started with Tokyo olympics 2020. The olympic games were postponed from 2020 to 2021 due to the raging global pandemic and even when it started in 2021 it was subdued as no audience were allowed to enter the grounds and the whole games were  asked to be played to closed stadiums.

   After a disappointing start to the games with Indian shooting stars missing opportunities to win medals . It seemed like it was all going downwards once again when the medals started flowing from the most celebrated Indian sport - wrestling . Things were going good when suddenly news came flyng in that Indian Hockey teams both men and women have entered the semifinals of the hockey competition.

   The feeling of pride and nationalism that flew through the streets of India when India beat Great Britain in the mens hockey quaterfinals was phenomenal .The entire hockey crazy nation then was glued to their TV sets watching the semifinals against Belgium .Hoping and egging the team to go on and win the  match.Although we lost the semis , a spirited performance in the Bronze medal game won us a Olympic medal for the first time after decades.

   The womens team missed the medal but overall fitness levels had risen several notches .The   fitness itself is the main reason why Indian teams are now abe to challenge at the highest levels.We endend the Tokyo Olympics with 7 medals our best tally so far. Adding to that India went on to win 19 medals in the Paralympics . Most athletes have thereafter gone on to praise the Indian government for better managing the Olympic aspirants and giving them better access to funds and resources using the TOPS program. Lets hope India rises further and becomes one of the top 10 medal winners in the future games.

  Finally when there was so much glory we could not leave cricket behind. Virat Kohli's men went on to beat England in two test matches .Both matches looked like lost cases on the last day and seemed like heading for a draw. Inida's bowling talent has risen several notches and now we are no more a liability in Away tests . There might be a day in the future where we clean sweep a test series in the SENA countries.

   All said and done India now looks forward to the IPL and then the Cricket T20 worldcup to wind up the sporting year on a high.

   

Back to blogging

 Dt 31 July 2021

Its been quiet some time since I have been on this platform.Most of my time these days is spent scrolling on useless social media platforms . One of the reasons that have also contributed to my sabbatical was that I did not have  a fast enough laptop to get my thoughts on the blog and also make it look good.

So recently inspired by my wife and some tech vloggers on Youtube I deceided to buy ourseleves a mini computer .Basically we got a tablet and paired it up with a bluetooth keyboard.The setup resembles a mini tech typewriter and is inspiring enough to get me back to writing my blogs.

My aim is to write daily on various topics of interest ,Life is short and there are so many topics to be discusssed . Over a period of time I wish to log in all my thoughts on  daily national and international events and maintain this blog as a diary which will help me  publish out my thoguhts and ideas to a restrictive audience which will have little or no interest on giving me feedback on what I feel.

With that being said today's blog was  just a test to see how well does the keyboard perform.So far so good.Will try to make this interesting over the coming days and hopefully build a audience which still likes to read.

Signing off for today.
