Currently in India, it appears to be challenging


I have written about my experience participating in a state-level yoga competition in 2016. The content remains the same; I'm just editing it to present it better.

 

Everybody  is saying  why  can't  India  wins many  medals in Olympics.  A country of 1.4 billion people won just two medals in the 2016 Rio Olympics. When the Olympics were going on, everyone was talking about sports, facilities, sports infrastructure, etc. Billions of rupees were declared as prizes for medal winners and coaches. God knows if it has reached the players or not. 

 

We should recognise and appreciate winners while not ignoring the rest of the athletes in the country. Personally, I think we should also think of the rest of the millions who have dreamed of it but couldn't go further than district or state level. I feel we are far behind on the basic needs of sport infrastructure, which is the first need for the development of any sport culture. We don't have dedicated sports stadiums for every sport. Lack of boarding facilities in district places and poor conditions in metros and semi-metros for sports events

 

Participating in a competition should be a great opportunity for every participant, so everyone should keep a keen interest in their sport.

If an athlete is fortunate enough, they can represent their country at the international level. It is the dream of every athlete. 

 

Nobody knows how players reach the state, national, or international level. It takes continuous efforts to be there. 

 

For the state-level competition, we were living in a function hall, which was full of dust and had no medical facilities; it was not hygienic at all. There were no sanitary facilities. They might have rented it for a few thousand rupees, or somebody might have donated it to charity. 

This was the condition of the yoga state-level competition. We can imagine what can be state-level, district-level, and school-level events. 

 

If we are to compete with elite countries, we must put in a lot of effort. Such sporting gatherings should be a joyful occasion for all. Athletes who do not have much competition experience are more likely to lose interest in a sport. All sports tournaments aim to inspire participants to excel in their respective sports.

If one participant loses interest, it has a negative impact on hundreds more. Sport event organisers must take every precaution to ensure that their events are both interesting and enjoyable. I hope India's situation improves soon.


Thank you

Cave Visit

Traveling is an essential part of our daily lives. It makes our lives interesting. Today, I am going to share my experience at one of India’s most famous historical heritage sites. It is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The places are Ellora and Ajanta caves, which are 120 km away from my native place. I have very fond memories of our family trips back then. When I was a child, the reason for visiting a temple near Ellora and Ajanta Caves was that the place was known for the birthplace and Samdhi of Saint Eknath in Paithan. He is a saint in the Vaishnav spiritual lineage. Millions of people seek liberation along the same path.  The world heritage sites of Ajanta and Ellora Caves are nearby, so we never missed the opportunity to visit the caves. The Ellora caves are crafted entirely of black rock. The art in the caves is so amazing that if you look at it, you will be awestruck. One will be surprised by the craftsmanship of the artists. If we wish to replicate some part of art t

You think, you become

What you think you will become I would like to go back to an incident in my life. When I was a child, I always wanted to be a software engineer, and so I finally landed at Infosys, but before landing here, I worked at two other companies. In the 5th grade, with my friend Ganesh, I joined a computer literacy course. In nineties the computers were in boom and still it is. Naturally, as a young child, I got fascinated by computers and their way of working. I spent hours studying and an additional several hours playing computer games. But what I learned during that time still remains in my memory. Those concepts and commands are in my permanent memory.  Even today, when I want to use that knowledge, I don't need to revisit its instructions. I wanted to tell you this story because once you think consciously about any particular thing, your mind starts to create the necessary conditions to make this happen to you, and this is not a small thing. In everyone's life, there is an inciden

Goals can be achieved

I would like to share a personal incident from my life that holds significant meaning for me. When I reflect back on my childhood, there was always a strong desire within me to become a software engineer. This aspiration eventually led me to join Infosys, but prior to that, I had the opportunity to work at two other companies.   During my fifth-grade years, I enrolled in a computer literacy course alongside my friend Ganesh. It was the era of booming computers in the 1990s, and I was naturally captivated by their functionality and workings. I would spend countless hours studying and playing computer games, and surprisingly, the concepts and commands I learned during that time still reside in my memory. To this day, I can recall that knowledge effortlessly whenever the need arises without having to revisit its instructions.   I wanted to share this story because when we consciously set our minds to pursue something, our thoughts begin to shape the necessary conditions to manifest our de
