THE YOUNG CHRONICLE
Kiran Bedi Finally Joins
Politics
Rons and Pranks are
very excited as
their parents have
literally been raving
about Kiran Bedi.
Mumma and Papa
told them that
Kiran Bedi was an
ace cop and would
have become the
commissioner of
police if things had
gone right. She was
also known as Crane
Bedi, since she had
towed away Prime
Minister Indira
Gandhi’s car
because of a parking
violation.
My Favourite Movie, Mary Kom
By Aanvi Jain
Mary kom is my favourite movie because it is inspiring.
Mary Kom’s journey from being a common girl, to
becoming a world champion 5 times over, is a story of
sheer grit and determination, and inspires not only
children but adults too.
This movie not only depicted the determination and hard
work that Mary kom had put it, it also showed that a
woman can take on a mans world too. It showed that
women aren’t weaker than men in any way, and are equal
to them.
Mary Kom had to overcome many odd situations to
achieve her goals and dreams. Mary Kom’s father, like
any other concerned father would be, was not in favour of
her becoming a boxer. But he gave in when he saw his
daughter winning.
When Mary Kom got married, every one felt that she
wouldn’t be able to play anymore. But she started boxing
again after giving birth to twins. In fact, it was only after
that, that she won the Olympics Gold Medal.
Kiran Bedi, by TribuneIndia.com
A Tennis champ before she became an IPS officer, Kiran
Bedi has several laurels to her credit. She has always been
known for her righteousness, and has rubbed many
influential people the wrong way. Known to be an honest
and sincere officer, Kiran has been through several
transfers but has still made it big.
Kiran Bedi was one of the key members of the Anna
Hazare Anti Corruption campaign, when Annaji was on fast.
She had campaigned rigourously with Arvind Kejriwal, then.
But she split roads with Kejriwal when he decided to form
the Aam Aadmi Party. She wasn’t in favour of him joining
politics at that time; whereas he felt that there was no
other way to clean the mess.
One of the other things I find inspiring about Mary Kom is,
the fact that she hailed from Manipur, a fairly neglected
state, and still made the country proud by winning 18
medals: 2 bronze, 3 silver, and 13 gold medals. What’s
more, she added another feather in her cap, by winning
another Gold medal in 2014.
Now that Kiran Bedi has joined politics, there is a huge
chance that she will become Delhi’s Chief Ministerial
candidate from the BJP. Nothing has been declared by the
BJP yet, but there is still a huge chance.
Moving away from Mary Kom’s life, and coming to the
film. I liked Priyanka chopra's acting. The way she built
her physique was incredible. Even though she is not
Manipuri, she was believable as Mary kom, and her
acting was natural.
If she does become the Chief Minister of Delhi then there
is a huge chance that safety concerns of Delhi would be
met.
Overall, I am glad that a movie was made on Mary Kom’s
life, as not many people knew of her, before the movie
came out.
