Bharat Ratna in Sports
A new controversy is breeding in India with Goverment of India amending the rules to broaden the scope of eligibility to include sports.
Dhyan Chand in prime time
Sachin: The bat doing the talk
Kapil Dev - icon of new India of "nothing is impossible"
Kapil - song with the bat
Vishwanathan - silence and poise of cerebral New India
In my opinion,Bharat Ratna is deserved by any soul that makes
1.Contribution to a specific field and thereby enhances the image of the nation
2.contribution to the field and thereby enhances the image of the field and make that field move faster ahead because of him
3.Significant welfare of society through his/her actions
Art, Entertainment and Sports vis-a-vis Social Reformers-Socialist Writers-Science Researchers have a weak case as per point no 3.
But if we define social welfare to include the cheapest free entertainment for the masses and to bring happiness and cheers to the poorest of the poor homes - then definitely Sports and Movies play a big part in cheap entertainment if not free. Added to that, international sports and its icon play a big role in keeping alive the idea of India - one nation united people, holding nation above the regional narrow mindedness.
On all these scores, loving Sachin has no rival despite all or any of issues like Ferrari or unauthorised gym at new house etc. On all critical times like North Indian Hatao by Raj et cetera Sachin has shown enough maturity to hold the nationalistic flag high and has explained through actions his preference for holding One India image on a very high pedestal.And Sachin is the modern era Arjun re-incarnation, an example for kids to shape their goals in life. He knows only cricket. When Sachin ,in form, plays - The world stands up to take notice and revers. Here is a soul that loves cricket, enjoys cricket, breathes cricket.
Further, popularity of Cricket vis-a-vis Hockey, Chess, Shooting and its icon's influence on the society especially youth, make Sachin the better choice. But. There is a BUT.
One sports icon whose influence and passion in similar field can far outweigh Sachin's contribution is none other than loving Kapil.
I wish to rap up on Cricket without undermining Sachin or his contribution . The difference between Sachin and kapil as an impact on cricket and the mass. Kapil's devils gifted the nation its first ever world cup with exemplary captain's knocks and by leading from the front, whereas Sachin did not bring any world cup despite the longest tenured cricketer of BCCI, rather his colleagues satisfied his dream by their great performances and dedicated their performances to Sachin, the idol. That's the difference for which I would suggest that the nation needs to recognise the real killer instinct of sports that's Kapil Dev.
Now, coming down to compare Cricket with other sports personalities. If GoI wish to honour Sachin or Kapil, then the country would do a great dishonour to itself by not honouring Dhyan Chand, the legendary Hockey wizard. The first Bharat ratna in Sports field should always be belong to Dhyan Chand.. In the times of Dhyan Chand media was not so much active, but Dhyan Chand's sports folklore were carried through orally even today. I have had the honour to know from my long lost grand dad in my child hood days how Dhyan Chad roared on the field, mauled opponents single handedly and brought innumerable laurels to India in Olympics and other games, long before India became independent. Youth in that golden era got as much inspired by Dhyan Chand's stick wizardry as current era youth with Sachin's bat or Kapil's devilish wizardry. Hockey took its right place as the national sports of independent India, outwitting formidable cricket, soccer, wrestling and archery. Dhyan Chand symbolises the golden era of Indian Hockey.
Again, if we look at scope for eligibility from a slightly different perspective, where upholding nation's intellectual image in the competitive world is the key to India Emerge concept, who can be a better ambassador than the undying Vishwanathan Anand, reigning the world space and bringing right dignity to cerebral content of India for decades through the medium of sports. And bye the way, Anand is the longest world champion in sports category, without any smallest taint to his public profile.
If untainted public profile is the criteria then Dhyan Chand and Vishwanath Anand are far ahead. Both have dedicated life to the sports but none were into any kind of controversy concerning brand and sponsorship, though fortunately or otherwise, during Dhyan Chand era there was hardly any sports branding by the corporate.
Thanking you Churumuri for a timely theme.

HMT is what HMT is not
In the beginning of my career i have often been referred to by men at work with me (in ad agencies), behind me as HMT . HMT is small town Hindi Medium Type boy - a vernacular boy often pointed out as a Verni in Bombay jargon.Source - Indian Express Interview of Poet, Lyricist,Ad Guru, and the Thinking Man of Bollywood - Prashun Joshi

Politicians Divide Us!
Politicians Divide Us
Terrorists Unite Us!
It's the irony that was found on a placard in a public meeting . The way politicians disrupt Parliament and Assemblies on issues by finely twisting it to change the stance, depending on if they are in power or not.The issues on which they once moved laws in parliament or in Assembly, or drafted convenient administrative rules are trampled upon to catch votes. The quote is more in criticism of politicians than in praise of terrorists. Terrorists unite the aam admi Indian psyche like what happened after 26/11.
