Whats our national game?

I'm sure most of the Indians will be pondering on the athletic skills & sports in our country, after showing the door so early in the much awaited WorldCup!

Is Hockey the national game ? In the past 20 years or mor, I have neither watched a hockey match being telecast in any commercial channel except DD nor watched a match myself ! I am not alone in this aspect and hence, hockey is not even a popular game except for the sports pages in the newspapers!

Is Khabbadi a national game ? I doubt ! Except for the bolloywood & kollywood movies - that too the game is always played in doubles - the game is not known beyond the courts!

Is Cricket the only sport of India ? Looks like! Every match is watched - first class, Ranjit Trophy, Galli cricket etc etc. The family fights for the remote for every test match or one dayer.
Every cricketer on/off the team endorses anything to everything - from Re1 to Rs 10 crores!
The corporates have even innovated products based on the game and players!
The filmi damsels seem to be falling all over the 'boys' in blue!
And common sense - how many games have we won in the past 3-5 years , how good is our attitutde on the field, the never-die-spirit ?
Above all, how capable is our team ?

I'm not against the individual players - If Cricket is the only sport of the country, how serious are we about it?
"Blue" billion :-(

Confused!

Sometimes, I feel like I'm in the race towards nothing and it feels empty inside - have nothing to look forward to as there is no great hope on anything!!
Its not that I'm depressed, but lack the sense of achievement in the past few years .
Life has become a forced routine where spurts of happiness & sorrows are expected anytime. I'm no longer surprised or more precisely not excited abt these things - as if I've no stakes on anything!!
I know that these similar thoughts are running at the back of my mind many a time and surface when there are unpleasant things happening around me and when I feel hapless !!
It is not self pity - because I'm on the lookout for way forward and donot want to waste my time getting bogged down!!
Then, what is it & why is it ?
I'm not clear of my goals & ways to achieve them. There is a clash of interests among the different aspects of life &I've my reservations in exercising my choice!!
Probably, soul searching can uncover some black spots!!
