If you have been following the Indian News channels a lot of noise was being made recently on the women hockey players seeking more money.
I have a profile of 7 international Indian hockey stars. The profile is based on 28th January 2010 report in the Times of India(Delhi). These superstars have risen from grinding poverty to earn glory and laurels for India.

Now lets go to a little in flash back mode. When the Global Economy was in ruin the world over - our honorable ministers voted for a hike in their salary. The Indian bureaucracy is a rare species which command full control over money and power but the irony is that never ever did this power and money flowed to make the Motherland proud of its sons or to make the Tricolor flutter higher.
The Nation is proud of its young stars who has the mettle to fight against all odds to keep India Shinning. Hats off to you..
