Hi All,

I was taken by surprise when I saw in news that our iconic cricket players and Country's one of the most prestigious Padma Shri award winners don't have time to receive the awards.

They are hell busy with milking money and shooting ads but when it comes to receive sucha prestigious award that too from President of India, they have many excuses. Strange and shameful, isn't ? :rolleyes:

I guess they took bad name to sucha prestigious award, as we have discussed earlier that by neglecting Olympic medal winners Vijender & Sushil (who certainly deserved this award) officials already diluted the prestige of the very award and now the winners itself are giving bad name to it. :(

I strongly feel, these awards should be taken back from them and honor the real deserving ones !

Jit,
I don't blame them ... have you seen our President. She is a disgrace. Also, there awards are not totally clean ... there is some hokey pokey that goes on behind the scenes to select the recipients.
 
Bad Precedence!

Hmmm... that is definitely not done.
It is a bad precedence!... (and in any case oon a totally different side of the coin (even though they say it only has two sides! ;)); what's with this sudden slew of prestigious awards being freely handed out to people like Bhajji, Akshay Kumar, Aishwariya Rai, etc. etc.??? beats me....)
 
Sid,

I dont know what you mean by her being a disgrace? Irrespective however, its not her personality that is in question here.

These guys were invited for those awards (again irrespective of the 'hokey pokey') and they shouldve showed up or informed the concerned people in advance that due to personal/ professional comittments, they won't be there.

Just now showing up and not caring about it is not just rude (as this is not like standing someone up for dinner) but is totally unethical and shameless (towards the award, I dont care about the president personally)

Govt Awards

Here's Limba Ram's entry from Wikipedia ... he won the Arjuna Award.

Limba Ram is the most well known archer of India. He represented India in three Olympics. At Barcelona Olympics he missed the medal by one point in the 70-meter segment. He helped India finish fourth in Beijing Asian Games in 1990. He equalled the world record in the Beijing Asian Championship in 1992 in 30 meters event to bag a gold medal.
The Government of India honoured him with Arjuna award in 1991.
Born in Rajasthan in a tribal family Limba Ram was groomed by Sports Authority of India under Special Area Games Programme.
After remaining unemployed for a few years Limba Ram is currently working as sports officer in Punjab National Bank and is preparing for World Cup 2007 and 2008 Beijing Olympics.
In January 2009, the Times of India reported that Limba Ram was almost homeless, living in the garage of MLA Arjun Singh Bawania.[1]




....... I think Dhoni and Harbhajan got a wind of Limba's story and decided to bail on the award and get money by shooting ads ... Imagine Dhoni -> Lalloo's garage and Harbhajan -> Bhindrewala's garage .... not very appealing to the concerned parties.

Rudeness is when politicians swindle all the funds for athletes ... infact it is treason. Have you seen the conditions in which our athletes live, eat and practice?
 
Well have you seen the conditions of dhoni et al? they are multi millionaires to say the least

I agree the system is full of crap and the the deserving athletes did not get what they should and it was given to these 2 guys dhoni and the sardarji

however, it is not as if their not showing up was a method of protest about the system or the personal charactersitics of the president. They did not show up simply coz they dont give a sh**

that is what is wrong. No body is arguing that the president is whatever she is and no body is saying that these guys deserved this award...all these are separate things...

It would have been good if they would have formally declined the award mentioning better deserving people and hinting to a bias/ loop holes in the system

not just showing up accomplished nothing at all
I can bet that now they will cover their butts by saying that it was a communication glitch and they really wanted to be there and blah...

I don't have a dog in this fight ... if they show up , they show up, other wise they dont, I don't care if they give that sports award to Bappi Lahiri.

Hahahahaha ..... :D

I suppose that there may be some better candidates in the politics for this Award as they always keep RUNNING from one party to another and can be honoured with A Life Time Achievement Awrad. :rolleyes:
 
Ya, Poonam n Vikas ... why disgrace ?? :confused:

I strongly disagree here Sid, Not the Person but the Post Matters! .. May be Patil doesn't deserve the post but its certainly a matter of honor if someone being rewarded by 'President of India' itself !

They're being awarded by 'President of India' not by 'Patil' ... this is the other thing that she is president as of now.

Really sad these guys r giving priorty to money over national pride.
They should have ban from Cricket. And all the MOM's And MOS's should be taken back from them as those awards also been achived under the India's name.
That's why they people can collect more money then Sachin or Dravid but can't get the Respect like them.
 
u know bro
dhoni saab tho team ke slection ke time bhi phone na pick karte
nzl jaane se phle ye baat samne ayi thia
sms ka bhi reply nhi dia india cricket broad ko

(dhoni ka kya khana hai ki team ko meri jarurt hai muje nhi team ki jarurt )

Really a shamfull act...:mad:

in gailya to wa e baat ban rahi se ek " mussey ne paagayi haldi ki gaanth er pansaari ban baitha":p

Per aisey log jaldi hi aukaat per ajatey hai inhi harkaton ke karan...:D
 
Success is behind them now a days and obviously they are very high in the air. Such awards are big for a common man...not for them .... so just chill like how they are doing :)
