Sportive spirit

When my two grandchildren invited me to attend their school sports function, I gladly agreed. It was thrilling to watch several children participate in different games. I was surprised by the enthusiasm especially because I thought the present generation is more into indoor games and is addicted to television and Internet. 

In an inspiring speech, former Indian cricketer Javagal Srinath prodded parents to encourage their children to take part in sports activities. “Even if they lose, they should learn to appreciate winners,” he suggested. 

The applause from the crowd made it clear that his point on sportsmanship was well taken.
