Once, when I was working in Zee, I had thought of floating a game show (they were much in fashion then, besides being very cheap to produce - 3 episodes a day !) that would celebrate losing. It was to be called "Jo Jeeta Wohi Chukandar"
I hate the idea of winners. A society which only celebrates winning (and not living) cannot be caring and egalitarian.
I picked up this cartoon strip most probably from the office of Mr. S. Balaram, who was earlier my senior colleague, and now heads the DJ Academy of Design at Coimbatore.

hi arun...its so true...and thats one thing the institute also is being plagued with- to celebrate victory...
I'd say you're right, but to put my own twist on it: we should celebrate anything spectacular - whether it's a success or a failure and consequently avoid mediocrity altogether.
Merit and mediocrity are subjective words. Given a level playing field, most outcomes will be enjoyable and enriching. I don't know about spectacular though...
