Just as we have a Sa re ga ma and comedy time for singing and acting, we need to have one for wrestling, gymnastics, weight lifting, table tennis and other sprots that can bring together sponsors, visibility, media hype and a sense of "cool"! I still remember Madhu Sapre losing her international beauty queen title because she sincerely believed that India was ready for a state-of-the art world class sports center when the politically correct answer was health of dying children and AIDS. I think we are ready for it. In 20 years, we should be able to host an Olympics in India if we got this off the ground today. An entire generation of TV kids will see the value in sports. 338997@desicritics.org Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:37:21 EDT
