Talent, Hard Work and Patience— Sandeep Kundu, Taekwondo Champ.

-

We are living in an era where a person wants to achieve either money or name and fame. But, few are those who are able to get it. There's no doubt, that Hard work always pays off, but sometimes it's just a game of destiny or more of priority. We are here talking about a Taekwondo player Sandeep Kundu, whom we can call a Champion as well because what he has achieved is worth of it. Sandeep is Haryana-based Taekwondo player who is also a public servant. He is doing his job in Chandigarh Police as a constable. Sandeep has also been presented with the Bheem Award 2013-2014, for his die-hard piece of passion towards the Taekwondo.



When and How did you started Taekwondo?

I started playing Taekwondo in 1996, as it was my interest, and I wanted to make this passion to lead my way towards success. I started learning from his coach named Manoj Panchal, back then in 1996. Along with my career in Taekwondo, I started my job in Chandigarh police on November 01, 2008. I get into the Chandigarh Police with the General quota, as I have never believed anyone for my endeavors, instead I love to create my own ways and my own destiny. But, later when I knew my strength— the martial arts. And that was the only weapon of mine to fight with not only society, but with my own inner soul.



What have your achievements been so far? 

In National Championship, I got 13 Gold, 1 Silver; Commonwealth Championship 2011- 1 Gold; South Asian Games 2010- 1 Gold; National Games- 2 Gold. Not only this, but I have played Asian Championship along with Asian Games 2006 and 2010. There was no ending, as I wanted to keep going, whether destiny supports me or not. Though I conquered Gold in many events, but tasted the defeat at the same. I also played Olympic Qualifying round in 2011, where I went to Quarter-final, but the day was not in my favor, and in result I tasted defeat. Last but not least, I have achieved Bheem Award 2013-2014.

Why haven't your name is highlighted till now?

I don't know the reason, but all I know is that I am having the most medals than anyone else in the whole Chandigarh police. Also, none of them have played that much tournaments that I have played. There's one more reason that I think has suffered me a lot, that at my time, there were not a lot of facilities. At that time, we use to practice in just slippers and by hitting our legs on trees. Likewise, is there could have this much facility back then, then I could have done a lot; not only for me, but for my country.



What's your message for the young generation?

There are a lot of facilities in this era, and I would say only one thing— Do hard work and achieve success. This is the era where jobs are easily available as in our time, jobs were not an easy hunt, hence we had to compromise with our wishes. Hence, take all the benefits as much as you can, because this time will never come back.

Media, often known as the fourth pillar of our democratic country is the most useful element of our society. Along with the time, society has developed with the advancement in the technologies. And if we are talking about technologies, it is pertinent to describe the media over here. Media is the informal way of spreading the message to the society and making an influence on them. Media is almost distinguished among few other parts i.e Electronic media, Print media and the trending one is the Online media or Digital Media. Media is commonly referred to that essential part of our society without which communication among the public could be obstructed.  Media has always been serviceman for the public as they never delay any kind of significant news or an impactful worthy news to be delivered to the society.

All of us want to make our home neat and clean, but explodes when it comes to clean the dirt of some third person. In such case, Government of India took an initiation to clean the dirt of whole country through its campaign named Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan (Clean India movement in English). The campaign was launched on October, 02, 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Obviously, the campaign left a great influence on the society but somehow there are some steps which needed to be taken for the welfare of our society. As far as I concern, some of the steps must be taken to improve the motive of campaign, “One step towards cleanliness”. 1.            Establishing Dustbins on limited distances Use me! We have seen it mostly in the parks but it is to be established on the streets as well. As we all know, we eat mostly while travelling in car, buses etc. Then, after eating the food we th...

Since four weeks, India and China are in the headlines due to the recent conflict among Sikkim Standoff. In result, this has become a trendy one for the whole country as many of the pictures are being made on social media announcing that both countries will meet in war. At War! Yes, you get it right. Some of the recent activities are forcing it towards the war. First of all, China and its media are openly warning India to step back among Sikkim Standoff or else India have to pay. International Media here is terming the skirmish of India-China border as the most serious border confrontation. As it is we all may be agree on it. Well, it’s not me who is saying that there will be a war. Whole countries and the Indians are themselves doing a debate among the Indo-War conflict. The activity of China that is bothering Indians is, “Suspending Mansarovar Yatra”. As China is not allowing the Indian pilgrims to go through the Nathu La Pass in Sikkim which leads the way to Kailash Mansar...
