Who is the winner ?

Dated - 25-Sep-2008

An ace shooter wins Gold and Government gives him 1+ crore.

Another ace shooter dies fighting terrorists and Government pays him 5 lakhs.

Guess the real winner!”

Today I happened to see this message and my mind literally stumbled for few seconds after reading this.Harsh realities are hard to digest. On a second thought I convinced myself, may be the shooter deserved 1+ crore not because he won the gold medal rather he won the hopes of millions of people which is harder than dying.
