Dipa Karmakar - We are so proud of you!

Girl you rock! To see you qualify for Olympics was a joy, to see you reach the finals was a great joy and to see you perform was to see determination, grit personified, a moment of pride! I loved it, I cried and my eyes are still moist into the morning.

You have out performed the likes of Sania and Saina; they were experienced and had the world to their side but they had that passion missing. One complained that there was an injury and the other is bothered about the next Olympics. I would rather not see you there, Mirza!

Dipa, coming from Tripura has it all. Her face lightens, her eyes smile and she knows what is needed. She is already talking of winning a Gold in 2020. She did it with all the limited resources and the nation knows. Only the authorities should know, prepare her and reward her.




I am so proud, so so proud. Proud of a North Eastern! Proud of a small town girl!

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high...
