Nothing like a Gold

Let me not write too much about our country's supreme inability to produce olympic medals, from about one and a quarter billion strong human resources.
Let me cherish the moment we have been waiting since ages. No my dear friends, it is not a dream.

ABHINAV BINDRA has done it. The glitter of the olympic gold is reflecting on Indian faces after a traumatising gap of 28 years. And the fact that it is the first ever individual gold for India at the mecca of world sports, speaks volumes for the efforts of the bespectacled shooter. What appeared amazing to me was the calm that Bindra showed, at the podium.

But was it not on the cards, after Rajyavardhan's silver at Athens? May be. They say that the shooting federation has put in efforts for its athletes. If that is the case, then other sporting bodies should get inspired.

The golden question being put today is, whether we can have more moments of success in these olympic games? Only time can tell.

Till then, let's hope for the best and enjoy the moment.

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Bindra n d gold was definitely a longggggggg sigh of relief esp for me cuz.. i thought it'd take indians another 370 years or somethin to make it at sucha large arena !

Indians, as our experience says, grab n enjoy the first opportunity to become complacent :(

But Mr. Bindra definitely proved it all sooooo WRONG :)
