Fairy Tale

Sometimes fairy tales come true.
Sometimes you get incredibly lucky
Sometimes time seems too fast and you wish there was a pause button
I am just passing through this fairy tale phase.. Oh God, please press pause!

Thoughts.. After thoughts

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Boxing the golden goose :-)

Three Indian Boxers - Akhil, Jitender and Vijender have surprisingly reached the quarter finals in Olympics.

MAY THE COLLECTIVE FRUSTRATION OF ONE BILLION PEOPLE FALL AS PUNCHES ON THEIR OPPONENTS........... AMEN [:-)]

Gold hunt: Mission accomplished.

No piece of gold was awaited so eagerly by so many people in the history of mankind. I wanted to update my blog on a lot of different things, but somehow the news of a Olympic gold is simply unbelievable. Hence I am not waiting any longer.....

The statement 'beyond wildest expectation' is truly applicable to this. But looking back.... a faint ray of hope always existed... one of the nicer things to happen to India is the way we have been concentrating on the non-favorite events (events where US, Russia and China are not very very focussed): Games like shooting, Archery, Wresting, Boxing, etc..

People have been consistently winning medals in world championships, Commonwealth and Asian Games- consistency always bears fruits. Sooner or later. A silver in last games was always a pre cursor to greater things to come..

India is on the path which China followed.... it was only in late 80's that China started winning medals consistently. The focus again was on non note worthy events... probably we will get there too.

Whatever happens, we will always remember Bhindra.... the first piece of gold won by an individual in a 1 billion plus populace.
