    More money is not the solution, for more money attracts men of dubious worth. Autonomy is. There could be another Bindra punching holes into black paper, another Saina caressing a shuttle and then briefly summoning enough rage to smash it down and there must be many Bhutias in the hills of the north and north-east. Ministries of sport and Olympic associations cannot find them because they are not driven by the dream of finding them. Autonomy and reward will find them; find men and women with passion. Once you have passion the rest is not difficult to find!

    Bindra fulfilled India’s ultimate sporting fantasyBy: Reeta | 19-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Abhinav Bindra fulfilled the sportslover’s ultimate fantasy. The tricolour went up and the national anthem played and if your eyes weren’t moist at what he had achieved you weren’t Indian and you didn’t know what heartbreak meant. A young man with still chubby cheeks and a distant look has joined the ranks of India’s greatest. Now he must keep the vultures that prey on success at bay, for he will find that he is the latest bandwagon to hitch on to. India’s shooters have begun charting the path that India’s chess players did ten years ago. But the chess players were luckier for all they needed was a cardboard box, some chess pieces and a handy laptop. Even that was beyond India at times. But the shooters have overcome more and now we must give them, Rajyavardhan Rathore and Anjali Bhagwat and Gagan Narang and Avneet Kaur and everyone else, a standing ovation for they have won at different places on the world stage.---------------------------ReetaSocial Bookmarking
