Jai ho English mata ki......

We are a country with 2nd largest number of English speaking population in the world, only after the US. Close to 10% of Indian population speaks English or at least try to :)
No offense to India, but just couldn’t resist myself from sharing some great examples of English in our land.
See this:
1) This shop owner is selling “CHILD BEAR” instead of “CHILLED BEER” lolzzzz… wow, bears are everywhere… Isn’t it?? Right from Stock Market to Bewda Market !!


2) Now see this instruction written somewhere in a mosque…. “Not allowed inside open head” … he he, This means keep your dirty brain inside your body, you dare open your head and take your brain out… only Allah knows what will happen to you…


3) Now, I didn’t expect stuff like this from a government body like New Delhi Municipal Corporation… See the text encircled in black.




4) Wooohoooo… another cool stuff, and this time from Indian Railways…. Check it out :)



5) Poor fellow…. trying to sell English books only for Rs 20. Check out how he spells “ENGLISH”


Am sure most of us must have come across something of this sort.... Nevermind... nothing to make fun of... but still, we Indians are extremely brilliant in turning everything in our favor, be it bad bad english speaking / writing potential (not all, but yeah... a good number)....

Olympics for India – Sky is the limit….

One gold medal and two silver medals out of a country of 1.14 billion people… Well !! those moments were really something to feel proud about, but to me that was just like a silver lining in the dark clouds. With time, most of us have forgotten Rajyavardhan Rathore, and I am sure that slowly, already fainted memories of the Beijing-2008 moments will disappear just like a morning dew drop vanishes as soon as it kisses sunlight…

But somehow, if we try to look among ourselves…. We will see that Indians have the caliber that just needs to be polished and sharpened… Here are few tareekas by which we can increase our medal count (in the sports where we stand nowhere)…Have a look:

Basketball: ohk.. let me start with the sport which is not so popular in India.. It requires agility, stamina, height and most importantly…. ACCURACY (ha ha, remember KOI MIL GAYA….). Have you ever noticed accuracy /efficiency of Newspaper hawker by which he throws the newspaper from road straight to a little balcony on the sixth floor in one go.. I think if they are properly trained, we will have……. (no need to mention what !!)


Cycling: Now the most important thing which cycling requires apart from proper training is STAMINA and THIGH MUSCLE POWER…. Any idea, where to look for the potential Olympian in our country for this game…Guys… nowhere to go when we you can find them on every railway stations, bus stops, metro stations, and gali-nukkads… Yessss, our own rickshaw-wallahs… I am not joking.. These people may look skiny, tired and mal-nourished… but they have tremendous stamina and power in their legs… I am sure, we need some government support to train them in proper conditions and equipments… and bingo, we will have an army of Olympians :)

Rowing: Onam festival in Kerala starts with rowing contest… these men are superb in rowing and just need international level training to stand at par with other nations…

Archery: The land of Arjuna, Karna and Eklavya stands nowhere as far as Archery is considered (with few instances like runner-up in World Archery Championship). North-Eastern tribes of Khasi and Garo are very good archers and in fact Archery is very popular game in Meghalaya and Manipur.. but the bad part is that the game is mostly localized and there is no talent recognition at the international level. This is the nerve we need to twist to bring it forward.

Swimming: Ever seen the speed and agility of local kids at the Ghats of river Ganges in plains of Uttar Pradesh… The essence and need of the hour is to catch them young, nourish them and train them……

There could be many more examples / sports where we can actually excel over other countries… At this point of time, I can only think few as enumerated above….

I know Olympic Game is not a joke, and it demand proper combination of training, nutrition, determination, government support and more importantly killer instinct…. But still, if we really have to focus, why not start with something which exhibits more potential or chances as compared to others…..

Mr Manmohan?? Are you there??… Is anybody listening?? … Knock Knock…..
