DESCRIPTION

These days there has been lot of talent search to pick up bright students suitable for jobs right from the colleges by several MNCs as well as Indian Companies. Who comes in search of talent in sports? Yes, the sponsors make a queue when some one becomes popular in some sport or the other. The major factor blocking the talent in other sports in our country is the game of Cricket. All the print media and Television Channels promote cricket only. They conduct programmes lasting for hours with the cricketers and the expert commentators. No need to say about day long live telecasts of the cricket matches and the waste of time to many a people. The BCCI earns thousands of crores of rupees because the people are so addicted to the game of cricket even though our cricket team disappoints the people so badly with their performance by losing the matches which any other team in the world could have won easily. Our people are satisfied with occasional wins by our cricket team. People are not behind any other game except cricket and same case with the sponsors. There is very less money in other games and sports in our country. If the huge money earned by the Cricket Board is partially spared for the promotion of other sports no other sponsor is needed. A country with 100 Billion people with a few individual medals in Olympics over a period of 60 years of independence. What a pity! Therefore, the companies apart from running after cricket celebrities should come forward to pick up young talent in other sports, adopt them, extend necessary facilities to the young talent so that they could win medals for the country in the international events and bring pride for the country and for them. The Govt. may give some exemptions to the companies in IT etc., for this purpose.

The Pen Is Mightier Than Sword -Essay

There is a famous saying that the role of pen is mightier than that of the

sword. But unfortunately there are people who believe that the use of

force is necessary.

The pen expresses a personnel or public opinion. It stands for the

press, literature, news-papers, books, and other writings. The purpose

of all writing is to connect one's mind with another, to persuade the

reader to take up the view which the writer holds on a particular

subject.

The reader has the right to hold his own view; he may not be convinced

of the writer's judgement and opinions presented to him. We may,

therefore, say that the pen stands for the peaceful means by which a

person is persuaded to accept the views which the writer holds. No

force is used to persuade the reader. But a good and forceful writer

forms opinion.

But the sword on the other hand, stands for force. It forces views on

others. If they do not accept those views they must be challenged. The

sword, therefore, implies force, not reason.

The pen is thus preferred of the two. But the sword has its own uses. In

the world, there exist not only good, sincere, honest and responsible

people but also those who are wicked, dishonest and unreasonable. No

argument will convince them and no eloquence can persuade them.

Thus, where arguments fail, the sword succeeds. But this does not

mean that the use of the sword is desirable. More often than not the

sword has been misused. History shows how kings and generals owed

power and used it to oppress the people. Give a man the sword for good

purposes and in most cases he will use it for evil purposes.

All thoughtful men, therefore, prefer the pen to the sword. The

government of today is carried on through the help of the press. We

are soon warned if we are in the wrong. No government of today can

stand against a powerful pen. The writer or the debater by his writing

or reasoning power rules the day. People have a greater faith in the

power of the pen than in that of the sword.

Both the pen and the sword have their uses in life. Both reason and

force properly mixed are necessary for good government. The time

has not yet come when people will care for the good of others more

than their own. But it is a sign of good times coming. The force is no

longer an argument with us. But we have not yet reached the stage

when all swords may be beaten into ploughshares.
