Indian Mythological Heroes who would have won us gold in the Olympics

Indian Mythological Heroes in Olympics

Our Indian mythologies - Mahabharatha and Ramayana

Our Indian mythologies, Mahabharatha, and Ramayana, are rich with stories of great warriors, epic battles, and glorious triumphs. What if these legendary heroes magically reappeared in our modern time and space and represented us in the Olympics? With their extraordinary skills and abilities, we would undoubtedly secure all the gold medals!

Archery: Arjuna

Arjuna was an exceptionally talented archer, favored by his teacher Dronacharya. He won Princess Draupadi's hand in marriage by hitting the eye of a fish reflected in the water, showcasing his unmatched skills. With his precision and focus, he will hit the bullseye effortlessly, winning us the much-awaited GOLD!

Wrestling: Bheema

Bheema, the brother of Arjuna and one of the five Pandavas, possesses unmatched strength. He single-handedly defeated all 100 Kauravas during the Kurukshetra war, including their leader, Duryodhana. His power and vigor guarantee us the Olympic gold medal in wrestling!

Fencing: Nakul & Sahadev

Nakul and Sahadev may be lesser-known among the Pandava brothers, but their expertise in fencing is unparalleled. They skillfully fought demons and enemies during their time in the forest with their brothers. If they were to reincarnate for the Olympics, they would undoubtedly excel and secure the gold!

Weightlifting: Ravana

Ravana, often portrayed as a villain in the Ramayana, was a wise and skilled hero. His 10 heads symbolize the four Vedas and six Sashtras. With his immense strength and devotion to Lord Shiva, Ravana can lift us to our much-coveted Gold medal.

Gymnastics: Hanuman

Hanuman, the mighty monkey god from the Ramayana, is revered for his incredible strength. He played a pivotal role in reuniting Lord Ram and Sita and exhibited his agility while flying to Lanka and setting fire to Ravana's palace. With his exceptional gymnastic abilities, the gold medal would be a breeze for Hanuman!

Swimming/Diving: Duryodhana

Duryodhana, known for his cunning, was also well-trained in swimming under excellent teachers. During the Kurukshetra war, he displayed his skill by holding his breath underwater to escape Bhima. Now he has the chance to use his abilities positively, bringing us the well-deserved gold medal.

Athletics: Kartikeya

Kartikeya, the beloved son of Lord Shiva and Parvati, displayed great determination and enthusiasm during a race against his brother, Ganesha. Despite losing, Kartikeya's spirit to win was inspiring. He deserves a gold medal for his exceptional athleticism and dedication!

Now that our heroes have returned, we are eager to see the positive changes they will bring to our world. Their remarkable presence will undoubtedly inspire us to achieve greatness and bring honor to our nation in every field.

It's a Love Story and I Said Yes!

Illustrator: Akanksha Thapa They say love happens to you when you least expect it and it couldn’t be truer than in my case. Little did I know on that fateful day of January 30th 2012, that my life was about to change forever. That’s the day I met my soul mate and this is my story. Love happened to me in the second year of my college. Let me recap: I was bored to death with the robotic routine of go to college, come back home, eat and sleep so I was desperately looking for something more to do. That’s when I saw an ad outside a small book store in my neighborhood. It read: “Librarian Wanted.” Mind you, for a hyper 19-year-old me, it sounded like music! I laughed to myself, “So they’re gonna pay me to just sit there and read books? That’s awesome!” And so it began, my sojourn of working as a part-time librarian in that private local library. All I had to do was make a note of who was borrowing which book and I was set! I was feeling great about my new job and I was over the...

Tech-No-Logic

Dependency on Technology There have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos in the past few days on our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or even general news, we are breathing and thriving on technology. The raging debate of the hour is, can we survive otherwise? If not for all this technology, can we call ourselves developed or developing? Probably not. There was a time when man discovered fire, and there was a time it burnt his entire habitat. It is now that time of the hour when the match is ignited with absolute precision, and it will have the elastic or boomerang effect on all of us. We are increasingly seeing school-going kids handling smartphones and iPhones like experts on a space mission. In the name of se...

The Day I Confronted My Anxiety

The mere mention of the word "anxiety" sends shivers down my spine. I often find myself frozen with overwhelming thoughts, struggling to calm down as people around me offer well-intentioned advice. It's just who I am, I thought - my eccentric self. The feeling of being overwhelmed engulfs me, leaving me restless and constantly fidgeting. I've dealt with this since forever, evident from my nonexistent fingernails. Perhaps you'd ask about my childhood. It was comfortable, but I was no easy child to handle. A defining aspect of my early years was the intense "people-pleasing" I engaged in. Being liked was my lifeline, and I went to great lengths to gain appreciation. Emotions consumed me, and they still do. Behind the facade of a writer, I wore a mask to hide my anxiety. I let it sabotage my relationships and dream opportunities, leaving me in disarray. My ambition to be a travel blog writer was curtailed by anxiety's relentless grip. I beli...
