By : Manglal Chongloi Mary Kom - Lessons we can learn from it (Contd from previous issue) Lastly, Mary Kom deep love for her twin children gives the film a tenderly mothered story because of which she nearly loss the final match in one of the world boxing played with German Sasha was much more thrilling, heart throbbing and tears engendering. On the other hand, the film highlights some of the very discouraging, disuniting and unsupporting phenomenon in the boxing life of MC Mary Kom-in the first place, despite her ardent desire and interest in boxing, the unsupporting attitudes and constant opposition from the family members, especially, her father; in the second place, the boxing trainer making her wait till evening everyday without telling her anything and letting her go back empty handed in the evening-that happens for about three days; in the third place, the officials of Indian Boxing Federations unsupportive and partial attitudes towards Mary and looking down upon her for being the player from Manipur which is most shocking and unwantedly disheartening; besides, the inhuman attitudes of Indian Sports Officials just at the start of Mary Kom’s final match with Sasha of Germany in China(2008) is also very very disappointingly discouraging; in the fourth place, government of Manipur offering her a havildar post, the last stage officer in Uniform service after having been world champion three times, and lastly, her husbands untimely information about the sons operation at Gorgaon hospital when the final match was just about to begin is the most strikingly unpleasant news-a big mistake committed by Onlal, her husband, that nearly let her lost the match. Watching the film MARY KOM, is indeed very interesting and lesson giving. The film will be liked by everyone, especially the people of Manipur, because it is not only a film about a woman but also about Manipur, and how Manipur players are treated outside the state. In one of the match played between Haryanas Preety, one could also come to know the unfair decision taken by the panel of the judges. Knowing that, Mary, after the play, lambasted the judges-asking if she was looked down upon because she belongs to Manipur. What she further said -mai Indian hu (I am an Indian) and the throw of an object at the judges, for which she was asked for apology and which she promptly did the same under her husband’s strong pressure, is very inspiring and heart rousing. The film right from the start is interesting and thrilling because one could see the indomitable will of M.C.Mary Kom to succeed in boxing since her childhood. Her love for boxing and perseverance have overridden every savage attitudes, odd criticisms and improper treatment from the sports officials. So, Mary continues to go without losing heart and become exceedingly successful. One could also be impressive in seeing Mary that even after having been victorious with great height and receiving many sports awards from the government of India, she does not loss her womanhood and does not show any sign of pride. She is found still being on service to the family and friends with meekness and submission. She still cooks and does all kinds of household manual works. She is very much self-effacing and polite in her treatment to everyone including guests. Another remarkable one was husband-wife cooperative style of harmonious living. Mary shows her love and respect for her husband; and gives him support in his interest in football the same way she receives his(husband’s) supports. We could learn that the success of Mary, especially, after marriage was significantly contributed by her husband, Onlal. In every sphere of family life from child caring to caring and supporting Mary, Onlal lets Mary to another world champion after marriage. This teaches us a lesson-there is nothing too late; and success comes with the coordinated team work of a loving and united couple. Mary truly loves boxing. Boxing is her life. How lovely it was when she missed boxing during her pregnancy. At such juncture, her loving and caring husband, who remains the source of comfort, is always beside her. Her unflinching love for boxing could be seen on her practice along with babies caring. This shows that nothing could block or hinder ones will power to succeed. The life picture of MC Mary Kom starts with full of difficulties, continues with many hurdles and ends up with a cravingly tragedic victory for which the crowd gave her a standing ovation, followed by the most melodiously flowing Indian National Anthem in the last scene. The film reveals so many secrets that went together with Mary’s life. It also brings good name to the incredible Manipur in the field of games and sports. At last, the conclusion that is reached within the thought is the possibility of the coming up of the film, “MARY KOM” would have been the purpose of God that has already been set long before which we only come to know when it comes to reality. Every scene in the film is lovely, entertaining and lesson imparting. Thanks to MC.MARY KOM for having and leading a life that could be acted in a film full of thrilling and lesson generating episodes. Long live MANTE CHUNGNEIJANG MARY KOM, the magnificent boxing legend from Manipur.
