10. Writing a book.
11. Love.
Sports: -
Sachin is one representation for India in terms of sports across the globe. Unfortunately/fortunately cricket is not our national sport and neither is Olympics recognizing cricket a sport.
So one thing that I wish to India develops itself to get recognized as a sports 'developed' nation. A population with 1.2 billions and counting should at least have one world leader in every sport. We do have people competing in world level still we have less medal to show it.
I can see slowly we have started to think sports out of cricket. Hope in coming days we have one Sachin in every sports from India. May there be more glory during the olympics.
Politics: -
The Indian politics is another big department/research that most of them follow across the globe. yeah! The world's largest democracy. I am proud of it.
Just completed its voting for the 16th Lok Sabha. Results yet to be published (May 16 2014).
Our Politicians are known for their plus and mostly minus. The minus here is the scam and scandals of the government authority right at the time of election's getting themselves exposed.
Many want their idol to be a ruler of the largest democracy. Basically politics these days has come to publicity, fan following, increase in economy of one self. Hope the new government takes India one step better than the old one.
Fine Arts: -
On the big picture, 'arts' in one word is getting in to the Indian Film industry.The most popular industry across the continents.
The Super Star, Khans, Kapoors, Kumar's, Bachans, Hassans, many more. They have done their piece of work to make sure our presence is felt and make sure the other millions away from home feel home.
One thing that I am happy about is the outcome of live plays, enacting a play or staging a drama for live audiences and the westernisation effect to stand-up comedies. These have been in the past but now the reach to common man is more and is available to general public in their regional way.
Hope other art forms too prosper in coming years. Good that my nephew did not want to study engineering instead wanted to do some journalism, film making, some paintings and a small basics of music. I had to tell him all that you want to study were mt hobbies. Hope he gets what he wants. Good that kids these days are well tuned to their interests than forced to do against their wish.
Science and research: -
I remember Dr.Kalam, Dr. Baba in the research. Rest all are known only if I Google them or if I hear them on an elite show or from a news of inventions and discovery that is shown as special shows on TV.
The discovery channel and the National geographic channel bring you the details from across the globe on any scientific product be it mechanical, automobile. Most of their cultural shows, road trips are shot in India for the Indian subcontinent to watch.
Why an Indian channel is not coming out with a dedicative science ot cooking show? Instead of telecasting some soap serial.
Hobbies: -
Whenever you ask someone to write his or her first information such as extra curricular activities or hobby most of us would have stated photography in these parts.
One good thing is every one is a photographer and everyone is a critic. For a professional photographer he is paid to do the job. Is it your hobby or profession? Hobby, then you get obsessed with it for only a particular time. Profession, then you are going to perform only for the money you are paid.
I too had this photography as a hobby, but later learnt planting too helps and reading books too. Collection of Indian rupee coins made my hobbies go one step higher.
Sort your hobbies and do not stick to one thing alone that almost everyone wants to become.
Writing & Lit. : -
Last thing that come to mind is an Indian writer. We have many writers. Good bad and ugly writers still they are one. To my knowledge CB was the first to open the doors telling Indians anybody can write. I know my language or use of vocabulary are too less still I am trying my bit to write. I was not a book reader but, I was left with no choice, when my brother published his first book, it was a novel with just 200 pages, that is when I came to know the books from fellow Indian authors can be related to life events, being Indian, they too think of the same.
The above ten things are the first point that we Indians usually try to express our views in most cases. Either we try to debate as we know more knowledge on these or our media covers the most, covering up many other details across the country.
What I see from all the web-pages browsed, I just conclude,
The more qualified you are the more skillful you got to be. Follow any interests, any stream of work, any hobby, but make sure you give your 100%, then expect in return. If you are not ready to give your 100% then please do not try. Concentration, dedication two things that need to go hand in hand.
Not my request though, but would be better if followed.
