Those oldies might be remembering 14th August 1947 where millions of people under British ruled India spent sleepless midnight listening the radio with famous 'tryst of destiny' by Nehru.After seventy long years, again, this time more then billions of Indian spent sleepless midnight sitting in front of their television set to watch their golden girl ready to travel the valley of death. A girl of 22 years who just turned into 23 recently hailing from small state of the country, Tripura, that many fellow countrymen might not have heard. Tripura is again a sibling of North East India which is generally untrodden by the citizens of so called main land. Obviously, infra-structure and facilities are bare minimum for a sport that has least popularity in cricket crazy country . Deepa Karmakar, the name came out with flying colours in sports fraternity in the country did not find a proper vault bar(forget about international quality) to practice at her home.With these minimum facilities she has practiced with concentration regularly day to day with fail to go for perfection of a lethal weapon of athletics called produnova, that many international stars dare to perform.
The 'Produnova' or game of death may be not easy to pronounce, especially by our sports minister Vijoy Goel, or he may mix up the word with Supernova or Kuronikova. But in reality that this most dangerous to perform and any one fails for a fraction of a second may lead to death. Truly, the Gold medalist of three times Simon Biles has termed this as 'insane' and she expressed that she will never try this. But, Deepa,the proud and dauntless daughter of North East never went back and completed this twice in front worlds highest sports forum with perfection. She might have missed the medal by a whisker of fraction of time but already she has perfected the Produnova right into billion of hearts in the country. The crazy nation , where cricket is holier then the water of Ganges, one con not believe the one billion people sat at midnight of 14th August in front of TV to cheer for a girl of remote North East India! There lies her perfection, her perfect Produnova. She has brought North East in world map. The name of Tripura is now pronounces as synonymy of DEEPA KARMAKAR.
When they will rename the word PRODUNOVA into KARMAKAR?
