🥈Silver at the Asian sailing championships

We fought to be selected for the Asian Games and won, only to be told that that wasn't the case. Disheartened is an understatement. The policies are twisted and unfortunately Sweta and I don't have parents in the federation.

As you know, we have run a privately funded campaign with much difficulty for the last year, and have been very happy doing it outside the bounds of the system. But why should we strive for excellence for the wrong people to claim glory?
Why should we strive for excellence only to be told that it's not good enough by the people who had nothing positive to do with our journey?

It is understandable that some systems cannot be changed, but written policy atleast must be followed.
Our word to authority is this-
"If you cannot support, please do not shatter"

We may not make it to the Asian games, but we will not stop until every stone is left unturned, and every person brought to justice. It may not work in time for our cause, but if this does not change and change soon, India will lose more athletes, more medals and more humane people than it already has and that would be a damn shame.

We are extremely grateful to all the wonderful people who have supported us and helped us! Even small words of encouragement mean a lot. We love you and are extremely thankful! ♥️

🌟Had a brilliant two weeks training in Mandwa! We worked a lot on technique and systems and we can't wait to go racing :D

Thanks to everyone that made this possible.... The people at the YAI who helped us bring our own boat here, the BOMBAY SAILING ASSOCIATION for being so accommodating for us, Aquasail India for keeping our boat safe and Aashim Mongia for giving us a coach boat that could keep up with us!

We have had a wonderful time and learnt lots ⛵⛵
