Illavazhagi gets some reward- finally

Finally ,Our world carrom women's champion gets some recogonition after some silent protests against the government for not showing interests in sports other than cricket.Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi announced a cash award of Rs 10 lakh to Chennai-based Ilavazhagi whose father is a cart puller.
It is also fitting that a private engineering college in the city, encouraging sports, had given a job to Ilavazhagi as sports officer.
And it's a pity that such news dont get the necessary attension that it deserves and hopefully she stays in her sport with our support and bring more glory to the nation even though it shows a large indifference to her sport...
