Take this - Women's Day Freaks

They celebrate Women's day as if they are paying tribute to the glorious feminine.They bring in stars and famous personalities and make them talk about women who changed their lives.They sensationalise trivial incidents and neglect some great women who have struggled to glory.Here is such a typical story

Ever heard of the name "Illavazhagi"....
She won her maiden women's title in the World Carom Championship in France last month.She is the sachin Tendulkar of her sport,the world carrom champion.And when she returned to India ,she did not expect crowds to welcome her at the airport.All she wanted was to live a better life than she had done before.
She said
'If the government promotes and encourages carom players, they would even bag gold in the Olympics and bring laurels to the country,''
She has won two SAARC championship title,a world cup,and also bagged the national crown.But the pity is very few people in Tamil Nadu know her name even today.No TV channel is brave enough to broadcast an interview of her even in an Women's day.
The only good news is she was given an meagre amount of Rs.1 lakh some days ago while her equivalent male counterparts in cricket are dealing with crores.

The politicians who seek publicity by addressing the reservations for Women in the elections can atleast mention the names these kind of sportswomen who live a life that very few people are aware of ....

Shah rukh Khan who revived his stardom through his Chak de girls can give atleast a 1% of his earnings from his investment in IPL to these poor female athlethes .But the truth is they are Good Men just at Screen...
