In a country obsessed with cricket and movies, cricketers and Bollywood
actors become the first and most admired role-models for our children. So you
will find most young girls wanting to become Deepika and Katrina and young boys
who want to emulate Dhoni and Tendulkar.
We as parents also want to encourage our kids to do what they are
interested in and are happy when our children show interest in sports. Then
comes a shocker like the recent one of match fixing involving many cricketers
and film and TV personalities and we start questioning our wisdom whether it is
good idea to allow kids to follow tournaments like IPL.
