Good morning, am I worthy of accolades, too, the day after? Don’t think so; it’s the athletes’ personal achievement, yet they share credit with me and I remain indebted to them. After all, it is their discipline, endurance, sacrifice and endeavor that catapulted them AND the country to the pinnacle of victory. They stood against odds and held their heads high in backdrop of lack of support and infrastructure (death-defying Produnova using parts of a scooter, remember?), finances (a billionaire Bharat Ratna MP-cum-sporting legend zyaada!), yet managed to be a saving grace for a billion. Arre O samba, kitne medal mile? Sirf teen, sardaar. Aabadi 125-crore aur medal sirf teen? Bahut na-insaafi hai re!
