Nothing is more successful than success. All those who won medals at the Olympics receive awards and money. This is very understandable. This must take place in order to encourage and motivate the athletes.
1/n

We Indians have a reputation for overreacting. If they win in the first round, we start putting pressure on them to win medals. They are surely weighed down by the weight of 1.4 billion people. 2/n
The media is even worse. Under the pretext of news, the media pushes their agenda. If you succeed, you will be praised; if you fail, you will be pulled apart. 3/n
Everyone else becomes an expert and begins to provide suggestions. The media has the ability to make you grow and decide to throw. Sick. 4/n
Expecting medals on par with China or the United States in a country where physical education is limited to 45 mins per week & is stolen by special subjects for special classes in the process of developing job-mongers is a joke. Budhia & his coach are well-known to all of us. 5/n
We had several delegates competing in the Olympics this year because of the TOPS - Target Olympic Podium Scheme. There were numerous "firsts" this time, whether it was in Fencing, Sailing, Rowing, Swimming, or other sports. 7/n
Despite winning 7 medals, we are currently ranked at 47th, over 20 places higher than where we were in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. 8/n
We were ranked 23rd in 1980, but that cannot be taken into account since if we conducted the same rating now with a single gold, we would be somewhere around 65 or such... In addition, numerous countries boycotted the 1980 Olympics, allowing India to win gold in hockey. 9/n
While we've lauded the medalists, let's take a look at those who made an impression and came close to winning a medal. Our hope is that they return with better strength and receive medals the next time, which rarely happens in our situation. 10/n
Deepa Karmakar, who lost bronze last time by 15 points, was nowhere to be found this time. 11/n
Manu Bhaker, a 19-year-old top shooter, was a sure-fire medal contender this time around. Prior to the Olympics, she was ranked No. 2 in the world in 10m air pistol individually, and she was expected to win gold in the mixed 10m air pistol team event alongside Saurabh Chaudhery.
However, the young lady gave in to peer pressure and failed to produce. 12/n
Table Tennis: Manik Batra and the Indian team had a solid chance of at least winning Bronze, but they failed terribly. The politics surrounding Manik Batra's coach left a sour aftertaste. Controversies like these may have been avoided. 13/n
Archery Team: The archery team is yet another failure. It is preferable to say as little as possible about it. 14/n
Wrestling - Vinesh Phogat: Expectations are high. Wrestler of distinction, one would say. She was a strong contender for gold with four gold medals in four events. Bummer...
Amit Panghal (boxing): His first-round exit was unexpected. To the core, it's pathetic. 15/n
Vikas Kishan Yadav is another boxer who disappointed many Indians with a first-round exit.
Ilavenil Valarivan and Apurvi Chandela shot for gold but did not win any. 16/n
Another shooter in the skeet, Angad Bajwa, also failed horribly.
We could go on and on, with names like Sai Praneeth, tennis stars, and TT players, to name a few. 17/n
Yes, we are pleased with the improved total. With the amount of money invested in our athletes under TOPS (Target Olympic Podium Scheme) and MOC (Mission Olympic Cell), winning 1015 medals would have been justifiable.

Next time, put in more effort! 18/18

திருஎழு கூற்றிருக்கை - திருமங்கை ஆழ்வார்
===================================
"திரு எழு கூற்றிருக்கை" என்பது தமிழ் யாப்பு வகைகளில் மிகக் கடினமானது.

இதைச் "சித்திரகவி" என்றும் அழைப்பர்.


கவிதை முழுக்க முழுக்க திருக்குடந்தைப் பிரானின் பெருமையையும் குடந்தையின் இயற்கைக் காட்சிகளையும் காணலாம்.

பக்தியை எண்களில் வடித்து வெளிப்படுத்த முடியும் என்பதற்கு இப்பாசுரம் ஓர் எடுத்துக்காட்டு.

"செல்வம் மல்குதென் திருக்குடந்தை
அந்தணர் மந்திர மொழியுடன் வணங்க
ஆடு அரவு அமளியில் அறிதுயில் அமர்ந்த
பரம! நின் அடியிணை பணிவன்
வரும் இடர் அகல - மாற்றோ வினையே"

(அரவு அமளி = பாம்புப் படுக்கை)

என்று துன்பங்களைக் களைந்து அருள் தரும்படி பாசுரம் நிறைவு பெறுகின்றது.
