The mention of the word Mom, Maa or mother, brings to us myriad images of the care, warmth and love. Sports star? Maybe not. But perceptions are changing and importantly, ambitions of Indian mothers are changing.
Sample this: Mary Kom, a mother of two has won numerous
gold medals. Some of these medals also come from the Asian Games. She is a household name
and is one of the most famous athletes from India to qualify for the Olympics. Another mother donning Indian colors at Olympics 2012 is Krishna
Poonia. Krishna, a mother of one is a very high potential discus thrower and needs no introduction. These
are one of the foremost medal hopefuls among many moms going to the upcoming Olympics.
Managing the most difficult job, that of bringing up children and then perhaps and equally difficult job - that of managing the hopes of a billion plus nation is an unenviable position to be in. It requires courage of another kind, the likes which don't many possess.

The nation' ssupport and best wishes are with Mary and Krishna as they go ahead
and face their battles. Their victories will certainly mark the beginning of a new chapter in the Indian
sporting scenario where youngsters and mothers alike can fight for an Olympic medal!
