The magnificent Mary Kom make us proud once again. Flying the Indian Flag high and making the world listened to the tune of our national anthem with due respect. Millions of Indians shed a tear of joy when she lifted the Indian flag at the international sport stadium in South Korea. What a moment! Its a golden moment to cherish and celebrated by every Indian citizens.
Born of a poor family where becoming a high ranking officer is a hanging dream. Knowing their economic status and realizing her hidden talent make her choose boxing as a career. One challenge that she faced was her own family, a family who does not consider boxing as a sport. Convincing and getting the support of the family was another far dream of her.
I put myself in her shoes at that time, I could hardly think of how to convince the unconvinced family, specially the head of the family - her father. She needs financial support, she need moral support and encouragement to become a good player. But she dint get all those supports during her initial stage. Nevertheless, she does not lost heart, she strives and won the heart that was hard like a stone.
Her determination and strong will to pursue the rugged road of her boxing career has become an inspiring to the young generations. A person with such a strong determination deserves every gold in every match she play.
I wish her every success in her career.
A song for her:
MARY KOM - MANIPUR TANU, INDIA KI THANG-ATPI
Tunnu Hmangte Akham leh zuopa Hmangte Tonpa Kom te'n,
Vondei ni bang lun, mawng bang sang din gelpha lou;
Lun chia, lien chia, lawi bang thang chia,
Hmangte Chungneijang Mary Kom aw.
Zo vontawi Hmangte Chungneijang Mary Kom,
Na tun-le-zuo, na chin-le-tuoi Zo momnoute'n;
Ginglawm chinteng toh Laam bang hing pah ung,
Manipur tanu, India ki thang-atpi;
Hmangte Chungneijang Mary Kom aw.
