GOLD for India @ the Olympics 08 :)

After a long wait of 28 years, India finally won a GOLD medal at the Olympics at Beijing 2008!

This is also the first ever Gold Medal in Individual Sports for India. Well as the saying goes - Better late than never! Definately a great start for the Indian Olympics dream.

The Gold clinched by Abhinav Bindra in the Shooting (Rifle 10m). Was just going through the daily emails on a beautiful and sunny monday morning in Shanghai. Didnt have any such monday morning blues , thanks to the news flash by CNN IBN Gtalk client!, was one of the first ones to know about this great news, and instantly flashed it to all my friends online. Its great to see the excitement and enthusiasm for this in India and in the virtual world, and I hope the whole country can wake up atleast in the sphere and produce more successfull sportsmen and women apart from Cricket!

Hope we can do some wonders in Tennis, Badminton (some hopes are alive)



A Picture to cherish!
