I was just having my first/second/third cup of tea and on impulse press the remote button of TV and forgotten everything! Abhinav Bindra has won GOLD medal at 10m Air Rifle Shooting at Beijing Olympics!!!! This has never happened in the past 112 years in Indian Olympic sports scene. No individual gold medal for India in the last 112 years!!! You are real cool dude Abhinav.
Later on TV channels are telecasting Kapil Dev’s statement that winning Olympic gold is a bigger event than winning World Cup Cricket in 1993!!! Right now he is getting cash prizes left, right center from various organizations and government. But what made me ecstatic is that my WHOLE country is celebrating. I witnessed that one state government after another keep on announcing cash prize money for Abhinav Bindra. I am waiting for Mr. Raj Thackrey’s reaction on cash prize announcement of Maharashtra’s government for Abhinav Bindra (Maharashtra CM announces Rs 10 lakh cash prize to Abhinav Bindra). Should it go to true blue blooded Marathi manush according to Mr. Raj Thackrey? 🙂
Today Abhinav Bindra’s father must be feeling very proud on his son’s success. I am glad that his well off family has used the wealth to promote his son’s talent instead of spoiling him with fancy cars and latest gizmos and producing another spoiled brat. Abhinav Bindra’s father was saying that Abhinav went through commando training with German Army for his fitness. Wow! What a foresight and determination. I think that’s why he was standing at the victory podium with poker face just like a commando who has achieved his task and feeling that’s what he has been trained for.So what’s the big deal!!!! I am glad that this lad has not chosen to spend his time and money on chasing girls and appearing on page 3 parties.
THANK YOU Abhinav Bindra for giving us a proud moment and make us feel as Indians for a change.
