Beijing Bonanza


It's great to see Indians getting a true taste of Olympics after a long stint with it.Unfortunately for a long time the greatest sporting event in the world did not catch the eye of many Indians who were mesmerised by the pomp and glory of India's cricketing galore.Thanks to Bindra'a bullseye shots,Sushil's desi khusti numbers and vijendar's knocking prowess, India has proven that it has entered the arena forgetting its brooding past Olympic experiences and with a vengeance to prove. With over a billion people backing up and lady luck in its stride India is beaming a message to its counterparts "Watch Out for us" we are here with a bang! It was an unforgettable experience watching India bag its first individual gold. I remember getting goosebumps that afternoon watching Bindra climb the podium who was still in a state of shock accepting the medal. Finally when the Indian flag rose with the national anthem played in the background the aura in my house was filled with patriotism and i'm sure rest of the Indians watching it would have felt the same.My uncle was literally in tears and could hear his faint sobbing...he actually told me that he never thought he would live to see a moment like this. Imagine Bindra's emotional state as he realized that he is going into the golden pages of the history books.May be couple of years down the line school children in India would be learning a chapter on Olympics with Bindra as the hero who saved the day. Man! I wish I was him for a moment shooting myself to glory.May be this is just a beginning of an era where India might generate the next sporting giants of the world, an India where cutting edge technology helps in toning future athletes,an India where other sports are given equal importance as that of cricket.As of now lets bask in the glory of being a gold winning nation in Olympics, Three cheers to all who won the medal for India! and all the best to all the future athletes.

What on Earth to blog on?

I was wondering as to what would be the interesting subjects to blog on.Many of my friends say that you need to stick to a particular subject of your interest and start blogging on it.I asked them about people with varied interests,who do not have a fixed topic to discuss all the time....then pat came their reply "Dont Blog" because you might end up confused and also perplex a trail of readers who might visit your blog.Moreover you would not be able to enthrall people with your blogs as your imagination and your writing prowess is not streamlined to a particular topic.This might lead to diluted blogs of less vividness.Heck who cares!...all I need is an arena to pen my thoughts and hope few good critics hit back with their views and comments on it.Let me put it this way "I'll take the road less travelled", hence folks you can expect any topic to be seen here under and above the sky from current affairs to mined history,from literature to music,from slapstick fun to rocket science (hopefully..lol),from acheivements to heists,from social atrocities to entertainment,from sports to politics....phew! thats all i can think of as of now.Hope this idea works out fine for me.

until then....

Happy blogging,
