Remember girls how I said, India is good at Paralympics and yet we never even hear about it (when I feel this is something that must be encouraged more)

We just won a Gold medal and a Bronze medal in the Rio 2016 ongoing Olympics (Paralympics) for a record-breaking high-jump attempt.

👏

This is India's first medal at the 2016 Paralympic Games, and with Varun Bhati's bronze, India now has two medals in this edition. Mariyappan Thangavelu also became the first Indian high jumper to win a Paralympics gold.

Mariyappan is a 20-year-old hailing from a small village of Periavadagampatti, 50km from Salem, in Tamil Nadu. He met with a bus accident at the age of five, which left him with a permanent disability. He was going to school when the bus took a wrong turn and ran over Thangavelu's right leg, damaging it below knee. But that tragedy couldn't stop Thangavelu from pursuing his dreams. In his first competition, he competed with able-bodied athletes and finished second. His rise has been steady since then. In March, Thangavelu cleared a height of 1.78m at the IPC Grand Prix in Tunisia, to achieve the A-Qualification Standard of 1.60 at Paralympics.

Twenty-one-year-old Bronze medal winner Varun Bhati, who's from UP, was diagnosed with polio at a very young age as one of his legs got deformed. Despite the difficulty, Bhati went on to become a champion athlete.

Good Morning!

Remembering our Great Poet

Mahakavi Subrmania Bharathi.

11.12 1882 --- 11.09.1921

"Bharat Our Land"

The Mighty Himavant is ours

There is no equal anywhere on earth

The generous Ganga is ours

Which other river can match her grace

The sacred Upanishads are ours-

What scriptures to name with them?

This sunny golden land is ours

She is peerless, let's praise her!

( A translation of his poem" Mannum Imaya malai engaL malayae..." in praise of Bharat. Translation by Ms. Prema Nandakumar)

Shyamala ...

Shyamala in two minds

Thread is crowded, treading hard

A child lost in the fair

Not a lost child but

The Lord in Kurukshetra

See her Vishwaroop!

Karkuzhali...

Fills up Lashy's thread

Showcasing her latest "hunar"

Senior Banjara

Pages grow in size

Reviews find themselves hidden

Needle in the haystalk

They are too many

The dishes give tummy ache

Why not go on diet?

Karkuzhali.

How wonderful to be reminded of Subramania Bharati today, Akka! I am ashamed to say that I had forgotten it. For me, the favourite is his kannamma song, and there is nothing like his poetry for uplifting one's soul on a tidal wave of patriotic warmth and joy.

He died so young. In some ways, he reminds me of another of my heroes, Swami Vivekananda, who too departed, as per his own choice, much too soon.
