My scribbling on "THE HINDU"

This opinion of mine published on "THE HINDU" dated september26, 2007, Metro Plus edition.
Lost glory
Teacher: Which is the National game of India?
Student: Cricket.

If you are startled by the answer, you must probably be one of those who had finished schooling some years back. Most children today may be under the wrong impression that cricket, not hockey, is the national game. Not surprising because there’s not much craze or support for hockey in our country. The latest Shahrukh Khan blockbuster “Chak De India” is definitely a boon to the aficionados of the game, especially women hockey players. I am sure hockey will soon regain its place of pride.
