mumbai

i came across an email and an article in one of the english news papers about how our cricketers are rewarded and awarded for each match played( and not played by the standby team members and 12th man).
This really made me wonder and compare how poorly paid are our security personals, our army men, our police, our fire brigade persons and many more who are in the service of the nation and society. can a person get motivated to work hard and work honestly when the person is not satisfied from within? and still i salute all of this people, perform their duties at their best most of the time without even thinking about their own life. i said most of the time because there are few exceptional occassional cases of run away from duty types because of corruption and dis-satisfactions.
if our cricketers fail to win the match , they still would get their remuneration and we just crib a bit and continue watching the series of matches. but when our commandos fought for 60 hours non stop and caught hold of terrorists dead and aliv both, yet people ask questions what took them 60 hours to tackle with just few terrorists? did anyone of us went and told them that here i am to give this part of my income or service to you as a reward and award to your service to the nation? lakhs of people gathered at gateway of india and just a few must have thought to go to CST and KAMA hospital. who from the millions spared their one day income and expenditure for this people? if someone did than very good but if not than better late than never.
i have no grudge against our cricketers or anyone who earns well but my point is lets get present to this bitter truth and do something in our own little way by changing our own minds and thoughts.
once again sorry indian cricket team. its just an example i used.
