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...

The man behind Grameen Mall

Knowing Sitaram Knowing Sitaram: Having been born and brought up in a family with its roots firmly held in a rustic setting, my interest in agriculture sprouted at a young age. After finishing my master's in Microbiology, I swayed away towards a career in the Pharmaceutical sector. In this endeavor, I learned team building skills and effective sales. I also got promoted to key positions and received several accolades and awards. Though I enjoyed my work, I had a persistent urge and inclination towards farming. The Newton Moment: The distress experienced by the farming community, from suicides to their unfruitful migration to cities, had a profound impact on me as a teenager. I tried deciphering the reasons behind this escalating tragedy. I could see certain unaddressed issues like the depletion of water resources, increasing input cost, lack of proper market linkage, etc. I put myself ...

Why Dress Up? Fashion or Personality

No, I am not a fashion designer or the fashion police, nor am I a fashion diva. I simply believe in comfort, and I've worn mismatched and unflattering clothes for years, not caring about how I looked. To me, it was about being carefree, but to others, it seemed careless. I used to believe that it shouldn't matter what others think of you, but I've come to realize that certain situations in life require you to be taken seriously, and if you don't care about your appearance, no one else will either. Recently, I landed a job in the fashion world, which made me reflect on my hidden passion for fashion. I've always wanted to work for a fashion and lifestyle magazine, and it seems that my choice of Mass Communication as my field of study was aligned with this passion. I've always been drawn to fashionable things, from style and lifestyle to trends, makeup, and beauty. I admire women who carry themselves with grace and style, and I constantly read article...
