How many of you can identify this woman in the picture? I doubt the number. In fact, most of you might not be able to. If this personality were from cricket, tennis, or football, there’s no doubt she’d be much more widely recognized.This reflects a sad but undeniable truth about Indian sports – the spotlight is often reserved for only a few games, leaving many incredible athletes underappreciated. She is Shivani Agarwalla, from Kolkata ,India's first woman athlete to get Gold in International Kettlebell Sports and holds the record for winning it five times . Also a mother and Chartered Accountant. I had the privilege of meeting her two years ago at a press conference when very few showed interest in her achievements. Sadly, even after two years, the scenario hasn’t changed much. https://lnkd.in/gzRjGpPB Shivani's remarkable achievement of winning gold for India is a testament to her hard work and dedication. Unfortunately, such feats often don't receive the spotlight they deserve. While many sports garner significant media attention, victories like Shivani's sometimes go under-celebrated despite their immense value in inspiring the nation.Shivani herself revealed the significant financial requirements for competing internationally. While being established helped her arrange some funds, she still faced financial concerns. This raises an important issue: apart from a few major sports, sponsors hesitate to support others. Isn’t it alarming? India has countless sports and talents. Are we losing them due to lack of sponsorship? It's high time we celebrate and recognize talent across all sports, not just the mainstream ones. Let’s change the narrative. 🏅" ✒️ Sreeja Ghosh #BongJournal #QtvLiveIndia #WomenInSports #BreakingBarriers #GoldForIndia. #UnsungSportsHeroes #RecognizeAllSports #CelebrateIndianAthletes #EmpoweredAndWinning #ShivaniAgarwalla #IndianSportsRevolution #CelebrateKettlebellChampion #ProudOfOurAthletes

Yep! We need to become bridge builders, as it were, from peoples illusions and delusions into actual factual esoterically scientific reality that will bring the physical sciences into correct slignment. #rationallivingmatters #realcompketescience #nopseudoscience #rationalhealthcare #bowmanhealth

Vinesh Phogat's disqualification is a heartbreaking moment for all of us. If India truly aspires to be a 'Vishwaguru,' now is the time to stand up and support her and the way the bhakts challenge the international agencies, now challenge this decision with own teams and academies and the International Olympic Committee. Anyway, Vinesh Phogat's worth isn't defined by a medal or a game; she's a true champion in every sense. Her journey wasn't just about conquering opponents; it was about overcoming a flawed system, harassment, oppression, an abusive administration, and injuries. She's a beacon of pride for India. No disqualification can diminish her achievements. Real fighter, the nation's pride. May God bless 🙏🎉 1. #JusticeForVinesh 2. #SupportVineshPhogat 3. #ChampionVinesh 4. #PrideOfIndia 5. #VineshPhogat 6. #FightForFairness 7. #VishwaguruIndia 8. #StandWithVinesh 9. #ChampionSpirit 10. #UnbreakableVinesh

India did not disappoint me at the #Olympics this year. Here's why: - 6 medals (7 if the CAS is fair and withholds the appeal) is one of India's best returns ever - Highly competitive across categories but unlucky in the final stages - Improved performance by female athletes It's not fair to say that with a billion plus people, India should earn more medals. People forget that India is still a poor country. The GDP per capita is ~1/10th that of the US even on PPP terms. People forget the high levels of income inequality here. There are real problems to solve in India and sports achievement is just one of them. But I am optimistic - the improvements we have seen make me so. There is so much to do and there are so many people doing it. Just cut us some slack. Be patient. Give India time. The future is bright. PS: This applies to business as much as it does to sport. PPS: My favourite moment was when Pakistan ended its 30-year medal drought with a record-beating throw by Arshad Nadeem. He *single-handedly* changed Pakistan's sporting history. Great work.

There is no substitute for hard work and patience when it comes to building lasting wealth that can be passed on to the next generation. Successful entrepreneurs understand this well. Many of them have worked / are working long hours—𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 18 𝐭𝐨 20 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐲—when necessary, which is how strong brands are built. There is also a significant difference between offering advice on how to become a millionaire, as some so-called ‘masterclass’ mentors claim, and actually helping someone achieve their first million—a task that only well-experienced professionals can truly accomplish. A Chartered Accountant (CA) can be considered a prime example of such a professional. Their expert advice can help you save significantly through tax planning and ensure that your wealth is legally preserved. Abhiishhek Bhavsar

Can you guess this stunning Karnataka spot that forms the shape of India on the map? 🇮🇳 A natural wonder that mirrors our nation’s unity. Drop your guesses below! #GuessTheLocation #KarnatakaTourism #IncredibleIndia"

Today is a win for India - Not INDIA the uppercase waala one, just India. Today is a win for the Aam Aadmi - Not the mentalcase waala one, but the aam average cannot afford alphonso waala aam ones. Today is a win for the Bhartiya Janta - Not the ones who are direct reincarnations of Lord Ram himself, but for the reincarnations of regular middle class households like you and I. The average Indian has proven that change is the only constant. They seem to have voted basis the realities on the ground, and not basis the mythologies that sit above the sky. The results have something for everyone to rejoice too - Possibility of a dictatorship is ruled out, and so is the possibility of an incompetent and unstable leadership. The dice roll might have put us in the safe slot, maybe the ladder even, but surely not the snake. Time will tell though. With the formation of this new coalition government led by MJ, everyone will be on their feet, off their high horses, with the lions on the chakra being the only priority. And that's pretty much what we need. So cheers to the average citizen of Democratic India! It is we who build a better nation. We who build a better world. One where we all love and care for each other. One that we are proud to leave our children with. #india #indianelections #oneworld
