Ever since the break out of the deadly COVID 19, there is a lockdown in almost every nation, let alone India. Most of the people have already started to get frustrated because of the lockdown, as they are not able to move out of their houses.
However, some people are still positive, “this too shall pass”, and one such person is Ms. Kanthi D Suresh, the editor-in-chief of Power Sportz. Like every other business person, her plans are also affected. She was all set to launch her new channel “Power News” a political news channel. But she seems to be as relaxed and composed as ever.
Upon being asked by one of her own anchors, on the channel Power Sportz, Kanthi said, ‘Indian Sports should restore its normalcy soon.’ The positivism with she sounded is definitely what is required in this environment of negativity, anxiety and fear all around the world. She also believes that if the instructions of the Prime Minister are adhered to carefully by everybody, then, the situation will be under control, in India.
However, in the wake of the Summer Olympics being postponed, Kanthi admitted that this situation of crises can impact Sports, particularly the athletes to a large extent. Also, she mentioned about the distress and depression that one could get into. She urges, “People should refrain from negative thoughts by indulging into some constructive activities at home and understanding that this is not going to forever.”
Kanthi further said, “Sports worldwide may take time to come back to its enthusiasm. Considering the damage in so many countries of the world, it may take a lot to see athletes travelling from one country to another and sports bodies taking the initiative to organize world level meets and championships. I would give Global Sports a minimum of 6 months, but I see Indian Sports getting back far sooner.”
Let’s all be hopeful like Kanthi and pray for the world!!
