We watched the indian contingent march in the Olympic Stadium with pride and awe and a little bit of confusion. The confusion occurred due to a lady who walked boldly in the forefront of the delegation wearing a red tracktop and blue pants. The fact that she was thouroughly enjoying the moment was obvious, so was the fact that she stood out due to the chromatic connundrum she caused. The dress theme of the indian contingent was yellow. The women wore yellow saris, while the men wore yellow turbans. Ms Nagendra stood out like a sore thumb... in fact, literally like a sore thumb with the appropriate red-blue coloration that accompanies the said mishap. Of course, we didn't know who the hell she was then. But the media was on to it and thanks to them we now have a name that will be a synonym for 'the Biggest Idiot' for a while and 'the Greatest Gatecrasher' for a long, long time.
This accident has pointed out a horrendous breach of security at the event. The government has rightfully demanded an explanation from IOC. The issue will be discussed at length and from all perspectives possible. Hopefully, it will be sorted out soon and most importantly, we hope, steps will be taken to avoid such a breach of security during the rest of the Games.
We have a different gripe, though. We are astonished by Ms Nagebdra's behaviour. What exactly was she thinking before leading the national contingent without wearing the uniform? If she really was a part of the team, where was her dress code? If she didn't have the uniform, didn't it occur to her to walk at the back of the contingent, rather than at the forefront? Didn't she think whether or not she has a right to be there? Didn't she pause a second before entering the arena and think whether or not she deserved to walk with people who have toiled hard day in and day out just TO BE THERE? Didn't she think of the consequences of her actions, the interpretations of her actions? The list of doubts is so long that eventually one begins to ask, DID MS NAGENDRA THINK AT ALL? Her lack of judgment is absolutely gigantic on its own, no doubt. This lack takes even more mind boggling proportions when one considers that she is a student of management studies! (One Suresh Kalmadi jumps to mind when we see certain similarities.)
So we can't really help but put her actions through our own grind.
Thanks a bunch Ms Nagendra! As they say in hindi, "yahan dikhen, 'wahan' mat dikhayee dena!" This accident has pointed out a horrendous breach of security at the event. The government has rightfully demanded an explanation from IOC. The issue will be discussed at length and from all perspectives possible. Hopefully, it will be sorted out soon and most importantly, we hope, steps will be taken to avoid such a breach of security during the rest of the Games.
