"A Saturday"--Helpless Day in Delhi

Few dayz back I have written a review of a movie "A Wednesday".The movie was based on the frustation and fight of a common man against terrorism.But, God has planned something different for me . The Almighty tried to show me the real one .
On 13 Sep 2008 ,I was just 100 mtrs away from the blast site near Barakhambha Road,cannaught Place , New delhi.I went to CP to purchase a TT bat from Bajaj Sports.Just 15 minutes prior to my visit to Bajaj Sports ,I was going through Central Park where blast happened.While travelling through Central Park I saw a sport shop with name Gupta Sports .I thought I should get down there .But because of good deal I was sure to get at Bajaj shop, I decided to continue.I saw few Coupals there in Central park.They were all 25 something yrs old.It was a slightly cool evening as weather is changing rapidally in this part of country.No body thought terrorist can attack here .
After my shopping of TT bat ,I decided to move towards my home.I decided to take a new green bus from bus stop.There are two bus stops near to Bajaj Sports towards Barakhambha. One is near to Super Market and another is at Barakhambha Metro station.I was having a backache at that time ,so I quit the plan to visit Central Park or anywhere in CP.I headed towards my home.
I was not getting any bus from the first stop.The bus numbers 520, 620 and 604 were frequent.But there were no 85, 355.Suddenly I got a call from Neetu and she broke the news of bomb blast in Gaffar Market, KarolBag few minutes back.I become alert and started sharing the news with my nearby people who were also waiting for bus.I knew from the past experience of B-Banglore, A-Ahmedabad, D-delhi that it could be a serial blast.I decided to take an auto instead of bus.I tried but didnt succeed.I moved towards Gopaldas building near to Barakhambha Road to catch an auto.This place is 125 odd meters away from blast site.We normally take any auto or buses for Pandav Nagar from the site where blast happened. Fortunately I decided not to travel that far. At 6:32 PM there was a huge blast .It was so strong that I felt no noise for the next two minutes.I was shocked for 2 minutes and then ran towards blast site for help the injured.But police on that day was so active that they reached before people can reach and started relief work.I saw few torned dead bodies there. Police was doing everything to keep us away from that point fearing there could be more bombs. I saw the damaged dustbin.The bombs were with possibly lots of small bullets which made small holes in the plastic dustbin.Rescue work done by police was very swift and then they evacuated the place completely.Dead bodies as well as injured were sent to hospital immediately.Autowallas were helpful and they were carrying injured without taking a penny.Unable to help anyone I decided to move to home to make myself safe.Was not getting any auto I have taken a DTC 85 number and headed towards home.But there was a fear installed in me and I was continuously shouting in the Bus "Please look below your seat.Save yourself.Don't take it lightly." Not all were informed that there was three bomb blast took place at different locations . Fearing serial blasts they tried to search below their seats as a precautions.After 1 hour taking a different route bus reached at the destination.I thanked God !!.
Later I have seen those couples and dead bodies on TV.
"A Wednesday " truly reflects the frustation of "Common Man" on "A Saturday."
The politicians has a habbit of repeating the same line again and again after each blast .But, despite being informed about the blasts the Govt hardly taken any measures. A capital is not safe ?Politicians are responsible for these kind of activities.They can sell their motherland for their purpose.This 70+ yrs old Home Minister should be ................ .

Lessons from Beijing Olympic

In 1952 - The first individual medal in Olympics for India came through Kasaba Jhadav in wrestling. Whenever new Olympic begins ,he was remebered as sole warrior who got medal in Olympics untill Leander Paes and Karnam Malleswari won their respective medals. Kasaba Jhadav died fighting for his policeman's pension.
In 2008- India made a history winning three individual medals in Beijing olympics.Every single medalist become crorepatis.

In 1952 it was an era of Nehruvism which was a reflection of Five year Plan, Asian games ,Industrilisation etc.That period was seen as an emerging India and Jhdav exactly reflects the same with his Medal in Olympics.

Despite a good show by Milkha Singh and PT Usha India never bagged an Individual Medal at olympics untill Leander creates a history at Atlanta.Indians were hopeful for individual medal after Jhadav ,but they were getting impatience. Who will break the jinx ? This was the sole feeling of every deprived Indian whenever olympic arrived.

But 2008 Beijing Olympic with three medals provided hope for India that now we can fight at the highest level despite having a poor sporting culture and small incentives for players of sports other than Cricket.This Cricket crazzy nation has now significant number of non-cricketian sports heroes. They way Indians diplayed there potential at this Olympics is amazing in many terms. There are lots of Akhils , Sainas are taking shape and building a high hope for future.
China got their first ever olympic medal in 1984.But, since then they have emerged superpower in sports.We can do the same thing if we plan and execute properly. Now the sports ministry should be awaken and take the cause seriously.they need to build a sporting culture ,better infrastructure ,good facilities and obviously better incentives for sportsperson of sports other than cricket. In any case Bindra ,Sushil and Vijender shows India that we have overcomed from the inferiority complex which was sustained by successive failures at the Olympics.India need to build upon the success of these three heroes.
