Sports Journalism is an interesting creature. Many people have been great fans of people such as Neville Cardus or Jim Swanton. Sports Journalism in India is a forgotten art, with the likes of Navjot Singh Siddhu taking over. For crying out loud, the man does not know how to talk. Can't someone please shut him up?
I recently chanced upon an article in The Hindu by Nirmal Shekhar. I don't know his credentials and antecedents, however, a look at his work made me reflect, ponder and think! e.g., have a look at this. The first two paragraphs point out the man's thinking process and I quote:
At the highest levels in sport, sometimes you have to forget who you are to become who you want to be. A sort of self-inflicted temporary amnesia helps when your self-identity itself turns out to be mental excess baggage.
Whether you can actually switch on such a changed state of awareness at will is debatable; but if it were possible at all, Maria Sharapova would certainly like to give it a go.
How True! Many of my motivational points come from the world of sports, a world which most students can relate to, and of course, it has all the elements of WAR, nothing short of the CAT paper itself! I really admire his point about "forgetting who you are in order to become who you want to be". That is so true!
Way to go man!
