A Comet's Voyage

 
We are fast approaching towards the end of another glorious year 2008 and praying for a new beginning with New Year 2009. Count down has begun! So, enjoy the festive session.
Today I am writing this blog after watching a glimpse of today’s Indian Idol episode where Olympic bronze medalist Vijendra Kumar made a special appearance. That time I was wondering how a good performance in any field of sport can catch the media attention. In India, you will always hear that sponsorship is always for the game of cricket. Millions of dollars are pouring and backing the game and it is just believed to be a religion in this sub continental area. And in every talk shows, media coverage every individual will blame because of this biasing other sport in the country is lacking sponsorship and we are not getting any good sportsperson or performance to cherish in the field of other sports.
I also believe that but today I cannot go with this point of view. It is not that cricket is only sport being played over India for the last century. There are various other sports where we really excelled in those like hockey, football , kaba-di etc. it is only after winning the World Cup in 1983 by Kapil’s XI that really changed the scenario for the game of cricket. But that doesn’t mean that sponsors from other sports just leave that sport and begin to support cricket. It is not that.
It is only that string of poor performances, lack of support from the common people that have brought the downfall of other sports. If there is support it is only in some patches. Like the football derby in Kolkata is worth mentioning. But it is not enough for the sponsors to be attracted.
You will find that after Leander Paes and Mahes Bhupati’s goods performance in the field of tennis have make that sport a very popular among the Indians whose end product is Sania Mirza, Somdev Burwan etcs.
Visnawnathan Annad is the number 1 chess player in the world but before him there is no one whom he can follow. But because of his pure dedication and hard work he has reached his goal. But he never blamed sponsors during his struggle period. And now we have a pool of talented chess players who still lack sponsor support.
So, my personal point of view is that having bad performance and losing sponsors and just blame cricket for it is a excuse. Time has arrived for the sportsman of other field to pull up their shocks and deliver good performance in that field and still if sponsors don’t come their way then they start the blame again. But during that time they may try to improve their own performance.
No more today. Hope to meet you soon…..

In your life sometimes a day passes in which all things goes in your favour but still you fell down and out. The last day of my life is like that. My favourite team Mohun Bagan beat arch rival East Bengal and enter the Federation Cup final for a record 17th time. I thoroughly enjoyed the match and celebrated well with my friends but still my mood was not turned on. I don’t know why? In other days I will jump and punch in the air like a kid of 16. Though I still believe that I am a kid by heart.
When I sit down to find why I am so feeling alone and down today I only come across the following points. Firstly, the economic meltdown is really taking toll on my life. Some may wonder how such a global cause can be an effect on an individual like me? Yes, you are right. I have nothing to do with that but my future life is very much dependent on that issue. And most importantly joining private concern is my personal decision and I firmly believe that I can do well in that. But my parents are opposing it and forcing me to sit in government service job. I really love my mother and I can do anything for her but ma when you will have faith on me?
Yes, I admit once upon a time I had done a terrible mistake but believe me I will not repeat that again. Please have some faith on me …please…please….
Secondly, sometimes the urge of expectation within our self becomes very demanding. Dreaming is a very good thing but it becomes better when you can execute that dream. I have some personal goal which I really want to execute and I am confident enough to do that. But what will happen if a I fail to do that? That thinking is really hurting. I know it is a pessimistic thought but at the end of the day every one is human being, everybody fears of losing. I also feel the same way. I want to come out of this but not finding the way to come out of it.
I am too much tired to write any more. One line is really coming across my mind…..
“Miles to go before I sleep….”

 


It is nice to hear from my viewers that the template of blog is really attractive. Their comments are really encouraging. But I like to share one thing with my viewers that it is not only my work that has brought this wonderful blog to you but it is the hard work of one of my closed friend who is equally responsible for this new look.
His name is Subhadip Dutta. We meet over net for a project work. Though the project fail to yield any fruitful results but a truefriendship has really turned out between him and me. We don't have meet each other, we just chat over gtalk but I can truely assure that we are very close to each other not only in our hearts but also in our way of thinking. Truely Subha, I really cherish your friendship and I pray to God that no matter in the world can break this bondage between you and me.

May be it is by chance that we both are recruited to the same company. So, I am really looking forward to spend some quality moments with him.

Thanks Subha not only for being a friend but also for such a wonderful human being you are.
