‘Snooze’ – Five more minutes please!



It happens to us every day, the alarm rings and the first reaction, Hit Snooze! Five more minutes please! I am sure the sleep that we get in those 5 minutes is far more precious than the earlier 7 or 8 hours of sleep that we would have got! The power of snooze!

Earlier today, the Indian cricket team lost the second test in a row to English cricket team! Yeah, Cricket, a game, a religion in India isn't it? Indian team showed a dismal performance against the English cricket team. It seemed, our batsmen were in a hurry to go back to the pavilion and their respective hotels to enjoy their Sunday evening! Fair enough, they don’t really get time to enjoy these days anyways!

The loss to the English side today is a wake up call!

Well, cricket is not the only sport where we have problems.  Earlier this week, International Olympics Committee (IOC) suspended Indian Olympic association (IOA) for conducting elections with government
Interference? So this is possibly a Black Week for Indian Sports!

We have our hands full with challenges around sports administration in India these days. Why just sports, but several other aspects of India’s politics, economics (both micro and macro), judiciary etc.

I am a hard core optimist, and I have no doubts that we would overcome all these challenges very soon! I feel proud about the spirit of Indians. And it is this positive spirit which will make the positive difference.

The question is when we would as a nation wake up!
