WHY INDIA STRUGGLES TO WIN MEDALS IN OLYMPIC ?

India is nation of 1.3 billion individuals yet we are aching for gold medals. Though little nations like France, Japan and Germany have more gold medals than our complete awards till now. What could be the explanation ? Do our people need potential or difficult work ? No, we have potential however we don’t utilize it.

Since our youth we are advised to do well in examinations, we scarcely have any games period in our school. Numerous nations have sports like gymnastic, volleyball and swimming in their school however we don’t have any. A few guardians don’t permit their children to play any games since they imagine that it could influence their scholarly.

In our nation sports like cricket are given more significance. Cricketers are viewed as God though scarcely anybody knows the names of our Hockey players which is our national sport. Cricket isn’t directed in Olympics. Simply 10 to 12 nations play cricket and we feel extraordinary in the wake of winning a World cup directed between those 12 nations. Cricket is a game which brought by Britishers while games like Kabaddi and wrestling are from India.

Our Government additionally spend extremely less cash on sports. A portion of the players don’t have appropriate equipment. They additionally need to battle a great deal since some of them come from small towns. They need to confront analysis which the players of different nations don’t confront.

After this load of issues we anticipate that our country should win medals and assuming we don’t, we censure our players. We have been playing Olympics from 100 years while China from 69 years then additionally they have all out 250 gold medals though our all out awards are scarcely 40. Our players are not lacking anyplace they simply need our help and legitimate offices. Assuming we need our nation to more win medals in next Olympics then we should chip away at these issues.

India’s best Olympic ever

Today is the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 , which has definitely become India’s best Olympic ever. India has managed to win 7 Olympic medals which is the highest number of medals in a single Olympic for India breaking the record of London Olympics where India won 6 medals back in 2012.

In this Olympics , there were many athletes who were considered as favourites to win a medal. some were able to cop up with the expectations of 1.3 billion Indians but some crumbled in pressure or by other reasons.

India’s first Olympic medal in Tokyo 2020 came in very first day of Olympics when India’s weightlifter Mirabhai chanu won Silver medal in 49 kg category. All of a sudden India’s medal came in day 1 of the Olympics and we thought this Olympics will be ours . But after day 1 , Indian athletes disappointed and could not increase the medal tally for few days, especially our shooters from whom we were having lot of expectations to win medals disappointed us.

But soon India was assured their second medal when Indian boxer Lovlina borgohain was qualified for semifinals in 69 kg category. she was assured of at least a bronze medal . unfortunately , she lost the semifinal match but she had already won bronze medal for India. she became 3rd boxer for India to win medal in boxing after Marykom in 2012 and Vijender Singh in 2008. In between some disappointed performances , some Indian athletes did really well. After Lovlina, it was the time for PV Sindhu , silver medalist from Rio Olympics. She started really well but lost in semifinal match against Chinese Shuttler TY Tai. But soon made great comeback and won bronze for India.

Till then , India had won 3 medals and was already better from last Olympics where we we only won 2 medals but India’s best was about to come after that . Indian Hockey team was doing consistently good from their first match and soon they qualified for semifinal after many years. Indian women hockey team started poorly but they soon came in their best and qualified for Olympics semi finals but unfortunately ,our both teams lost in semifinals after playing good throughout the match. At the same time , wrestling was also going on where Ravi Dahiya entered finals of freestyle wrestling in 57 kg category. and Deepak Punia after qualifying for semifinals , unfortunately lost his match and was later unable to win bronze medal. Ravi Dahiya later won Silver medal.

But the historic moment came soon when Indian men hockey team won bronze medal match against Germany and won an Olympic medal after 41 years. that was a very historic and special moment for Indian fans. though Indian women hockey team could not win a medal but they won our hearts by playing outstanding hockey. till now, India had won 5 medals.

But the most historic and remarkable moment came yesterday when Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra won Gold medal in javelin throw event finals with a record 87.53 m distance. It was India’s first gold medal in Track and field events and 2nd individual gold medal after Abhinav Bindra’s gold medal in 2008 Beijing Olympics. And in the same day, India’s one of the biggest medal hopes Bajrang Punia also won a Bronze medal in 65 kg category.

That is why , this Olympic has become India’s best Olympics ever. There were some amazing performances who were not able to win a medal but won our hearts like Indian women hockey team , golfer Aditi Ashok, Kamalpreet kaur and many others.

CHHICHHORE

THE MOVIE WITH BEST MESSAGE : NEVER QUIT

Chhichhore, the movie which taught us that, suicide is not right option, movies which taught us “ NEVER GIVE UP”, we just have to keep going, doing our best just keep going and enjoy your life cause these moments are never gonna come back.

In life things we love the most always disappears quickly and its life.

The film tells the story of Aniruddha “Anni” Pathak, a middle-aged divorcee whose son Raghav tries to commit suicide but survives, though he is in a critical condition for his unwillingness to live out of fear he would be called a “loser”. Desperate, he goes against the wishes of his former girlfriend turned ex-wife Maya’s wishes to recount his own journey in 1992 as a “loser” in a gang of six; as he continues along to convince Raghav, the other five receive news of the tragedy and decide to join their friend in his pain to complete a story they never fail to cherish as a lesson in their life.

Since childhood we are listening this, from our parents, family members and relatives, if you win this competition, I’ll buy you your fav dress or I’ll buy you motorcycle, if you get first rank in your school or college test, I’ll buy you smartphone, if you got selected or if you pass the test I’ll give you this or that or whatever you want I’ll give you, blab blah. But no one told us that if you didn’t won or if you got second rank or if you failed the test, it’s okay, it’s completely okay, atleast you have tried and worked very hard for this. What’s big deal if you didn’t got selected, the most important thing is, you tried and didn’t give up easily. Life is all about second change for them who don’t give up easily and try until they give their best. Let’s say that, it wasn’t your best and promise yourself that you will try very hard to give your best and trust yourself, if you think you can do it then you definitely can and one day you will definitely became successful and will achieve your dream.

Its human nature that we got disappointed very soon, we think like we did so much hard work for this and after all this what we got is failure.

Its life and in life things always don’t go as we planned, just trust yourself and try harder, you may struggle but it won’t matter anymore. If you feel like quitting, think about the reason why you started.

NEVER QUIT. NEVER GIVE UP. FLY IT TO THE END.

Here are some memorable dialogues from Chhichore we will always remember

1. “Tumhara result decide nahi karta hai ki tum loser ho ki nahi… Tumhari koshish decide karti hai!”

2. “Success ke baad ka plan sabke paas hai… lekin agar, galti se fail ho gaye… toh failure se kaise deal karna hai… Koi baat hi nahi karna chahta.”

3. “Hum haar jeet, success failure mein itna ulajh gaye hai… ki, zindagi jeena bhool gaye hai… Zindagi mein agar kuch sabse zyada important hai… toh woh hai khud ZINDAGI.”

4. “Doosron se haarke loser kehlane se kahin zyada bura hai…khud se haarke loser kehlana.”

5. “I am a failure, mera kuchh nhi ho sakta… But we forgot success doesn’t come at once.”

6. “Dost jinke sath hum haste hai, rote hai Par zindagi jeena sikhte hai.”

THE VOLKSWAGEN NOBODY KNOWS!

You must have heard of the fact that companies are contributing to environmental degradation , though they don’t want to do that but no one can deny to the fact that they are indirectly into it. But their are many greedy companies who , without even taking concern of the environment are contributing to degradation of it . Volkswagen is one among such companies , let’s see what they have done .

VOLKSWAGEN AG , known internationally as the Volkswagen group is a German multinational automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg , Germany . In the early 1930s, cars were a luxury – most Germans could afford nothing more elaborate than a motorcycle and only one German out of 50 owned a car. Seeking a potential new market, some car makers began independent “people’s car” projects – the Mercedes 170H, BMW 3/15, Adler AutoBahn, Steyr 55, and Hanomag 1.3L, among others. The Volkswagen emission scandal began in September 2015 when the US Environment Protection Agency issued a notice of violation of clean air act to Volkswagen group . According to the agency Volkswagen intentionally developed a software named TURBOCHARGED DIRECT INJECTION (TDS ) diesel engines , to active their emission control only at the time of testing in the labs which causes vehicles Nitrogen output to met US standards , BUT in reality emits 40 times more nitrogen in air in the real world .

They developed this software in 11 million cars of which 500,000 were in US only . Research were done & a group of scientists detected that there is additional emission in road test . Within the first day of investigation the stock price of VOLKSWAGEN fell in value by one by one third . Its CEO Martin Winterkorn resigned from his post & many officials were suspended .

In April 2016 , Volkswagen announced to spend $18.32 billion to rectify the emission issue & in January 2017 , Volkswagen pleaded guilty to criminal charges & after investigation process , in April 2017 , US government ordered the company to pay $2.8 billion as criminal fine for breaking rules of nitrogen emission . The total cost of the scandal costed $33.3 billion in fines , penalties , & financial settlements & buyback cost of VOLKSWAGEN .

This proves that the greediness of one company can bring harm to whole ecosystem . As business is a part of society , business should perform function to bring peace in the environment by not polluting it . It should serve the mankind & society as well. Volkswagen by realizing their mistake pleaded themselves guilty shows that one the mistake is done you should work to rectify it instead of hiding it .

The surge of coronavirus cases in Tokyo after organizing the Olympics.

As we all recognize that, the Olympics were supposed to be held in 2020 in Tokyo but, because of the increase in coronavirus cases, the summer Olympics were discontinued till July 2021.

After July 24th, when the Olympics started we can say that time got so terrible that it was very hard to deal with it. Tokyo got attention from all around the world but, according to the Japanese health officials they have never seen or experienced the increase of coronavirus cases like this.

Compared to the initial high number of cases which was reported in Tokyo, there were 2,520 in January. And now, since before the opening ceremony for the summer games last week on Monday, the metropolitan government has confirmed that the city recorded the number of 2,848 cases.

But before all this, Tokyo was not in a good state, there was still a daily count of more than 1800 coronavirus cases before 24th July.

Putting precautions amid the state of the situation, Tokyo urban administration forged up this year by preparing more beds to cope with emergencies in most of the hospitals, the summer games will also proceed without any spectators to avoid the spread of coronavirus.

Japanese protest Olympics.

In May 2021, the Public of Japan expressed a large majority that they didn’t want the Olympics to proceed in their country due to pandemics.

On 23rd July, when the Olympics opening ceremony was held, the protesters gathered outside the ceremony to loudly affirm their resentment that the summer games were going ahead despite the danger it might affect public health.

A big challenge for Japan’s prime minister.

The news summaries say that Japan’s prime minister Yoshihide Suga, who will face election this year but right now, is facing the public perception by deciding to continue the Olympics this year. Moreover, reports also say that vaccines in Japan are also getting inadequate in amount.

Prime Minister addressed in a news conference and here’s what he said.

– As he said, There’s no connection between summer games and the rise of coronavirus infections.

– He also said that, since we’ve seen the rise in coronavirus cases and putting precautions to fight it by cutting the flow of people in public places, stricter border controls to curb the spread of coronavirus infections by foreign visitors.

– According to him, he urged people to watch the summer games from their homes, try not to gather in groups or in public places to reduce infection of the virus.

– He also said that it is time to increase more and tighter constraints to reduce the number of infections and we should be careful about it. The quick rise in cases can be associated if people move out for holidays on weekends, the Olympics, the Paralympics, and summer vacations.

Metropolitan Government officials of Tokyo confirmed 3,865 new cases of coronavirus recently after the completion of 1 week after starting the Olympics.

2020-21: Fires, Heat and Rains

2020 started with forest fires in Canada, Brazil and bush fires across Australian coast, causing the death of at least two billion animals.

Come 2021, Greek, Turkish and Italian people experienced one of the hottest summers in history in 2021. In the Hellenic Republic of Greece, the temperatures reached 45 degree Celsius on 4th August. While this might be a pretty regularly recorded temperature in the tropic, the Balkans and the Anatolian peninsula recording such temperatures is worrisome. The temperatures led to a spontaneous spread of forest fires in and across Europe, Canada and Turkey – and people across the globe shared the plight of Turkey on social media since Turkey is not habitual with these fires and hence lacks the number of helicopters and jets to control these fires.

China recorded floods it had never seen in the last 50 years of its history in 2021. A very worst form of excessive rainfalls was recorded in central and western Europe in July 2021 with countries like Germany completely overwhelmed by floods. This is in addition to the already burning Amazons and even Asian countries recording instances of Forest fires in a time not traditionally identified with the same. Russia and Finland and US are also heading towards a quite imminent diplomatic crisis given that the Arctic has already lost more than 50% of its ice opening up the once frozen Tundra and permafrost to petroleum and uranium explorations with the obvious geopolitical control over the area being a chief topic of contention.
