गणेश वंदना हे सिद्धिविनायक महामना हे गणपति बप्पा मोरया हे इस जग के कर्ता धर्ता प्रभु अष्टविनायक नमॊ नमः
हे सुखकर्ता हे दुखहर्ता हे विघ्नविनाशक गणराया संतन के तुम सदा सखा प्रभु गजाननं हे सुख दाता
हे गौरीपुत्र हे लम्बोदर हे जग के नायक विनायकं हे महाकाय हे वक्रतुंड करता तुमकॊ है अभय नमन
हे एकदंत हे धूम्रवर्ण मूषक सवार गणनाथ मेरे जग सबसे पहले करे नमन हे गजेन्द्रवदनं नमॊ नमः
हे मंगल मूर्ति महासखा तुम वर देते हो हमें पता मोदक प्रिय प्रभु चतुर्भुजा मंगल हो सबका सदा भला

Amrit ke naam
Respected Brother Sadar Charan Sparsh
These days I have found the morning time the more suitable aspect of my writing here.. immediately after dropping Savita for her auto ride to her International school.. sometimes she sounds she is not enjoying it all that much.. she has fears of Amrit not getting proper attention.. she has a concern for not having enough time at her disposal to look after our only child.. I look back and think how on earth my dear mother and father had almost looked after eleven of their children and provided them with what a normal child would have sought for a parental support.. maybe things were different those days.. Amrit my eleven year old son is more glued into Television.. more connected to Computers.. more prone to take part in drama or any other cultural event.. easily moved into believing that he could and should play every game that opportunity arises and felt little awkward when I said you are already into Badminton why do you also have to take up Basketball.. he says I may be picked for nationals.. don't you understand.. I don't.. I have nothing against him.. not so much even for his lack of interest in maths and science or any of the subjects.. he simply does not seem to getting into a mood to have a look at books.. He is not doing too bad with his exams yet good enough is not the criteria these days.. children have fierce competition at school level for doing well.. and here is a case who is not so concerned.. the little sparkle of hope is that he seems to be far more aware of world events.. he is not as dumb as what I had been at the same age some 40 years back,, that alone gives me satisfaction.. that alone provides a sigh of relief that he is after all not a spoiled brat in the real sense of the word.. and his love for Casio
Enough of Savita and Amrit.. I would rather come back to your this particular post.. you continue to amaze us with the sense of achievement with Paa.. you continue to contribute and suggest on several important and relevant points.. the concern for cricket and sportsperson and their much shorter stint with glory and achievement.. No, no, I am not in a mood to debate or discuss.. I fail to understand why and for what reasons the board (BCCI) and sports authority in the country can not cater to the well being of sportsperson in the country.. you ask a common man on the street and ask him if he knows Abhinav Bindra.. I am sue 5 out of 10 would say nay.. who is that.. is he the nephew or son of IS Bindra.. I mean IS Bindra the cricket administrator would be more well known than some of our superstars in some other events.. I am also sure if you go and ask your colleagues and ask them if they would have a desire to meet one Sainal.. they would most likely turn their head other way.. some may even question did you mean Sania.. such pathetic is the case of our sportsperson that Kapil Dev is almost forgotten on his birthday a couple of days ago.. where has he gone wrong.. if ICL paved the way for more cricket for players and spectators was he really at the wrong end.. I kow some of these questions are best left unanswered.. Vijender Singh may be only having some memories in the minds of the people for being Billo Rani fan than for his bouts in the ring..
Oh! I sound far too depressing! Do I.. Please excuse me if you did not like my comments.. After all such known things.. how an ordinary father in me grant permission to Amrit to take up sports more seriously than studies.. what if he had exhibited great timing while executing shots a good four five years back in the room alley cricket of D-30 Indraprastha.. what if he goes to train himself for badminton.. what good is it that he has a strong desire to take up basketball citing his reasons that he may become taller playing the game.. I am at cross-roads..
I know my brother Alok Sharma who is not with us now was equally good at Hockey, Football and cricket besides Chemistry and Biology at graduation level.. he did not find a job for good many years.. I know the situation is not as bad as it was in the seventies.. yet it would be dicey situation to promote Amrit to take up sports.. he ahs to first perform with Academics and then and only could he find time for developing sporting skills..
रात गंवाई सोय के, दिवस गंवाया खाय । हीरा जन्म अमोल था, कौड़ी बदले जाय ॥
Kabir sahab reflects - one who whiles away his night by sleeping and the day by simply eating he is turning his diamond worth life into nothingness.. we should make the best use of our time..
