Sports and India!
So finally the first "Individual" Gold Medal for India. Abhinav Bindra finally breaks the jinx!! will this be the beginning or the beginning of the end??? Have been watching Olympics every night.. and see USA, China bag medals after medals... Michael Phelps gets his 9th today winning the 100 m free style. USA also bag the 100 m backstroke womens and mens (gold and silver). Damn i said to myself.. where the hell are Indians??? dont we seriously have talent?? are Indians just too submerged in books that there's nothing to life other than that??? Is Cricket the only sport??? Wish I was trained like one right from age of 5! I would have been in Beijing making my country proud instead of working my ass off for a US company.. phew! thats called fate yeah??? or destiny??? or the price of following the norm??? Dont we have technology?? Dont we have money?? Monika gets banned for testing positive on drug test and then gets cleared??? what the hell is going on.... Politics is just killing everything in India... I just F****** can't believe this.. I hate it... talk about perseverence and talent... BS!!!! I am totally irritated and frustrated with everything !

Enough of blaming Politics for everything. We are among the most naturally 'negative' people in the world. We always look elsewhere for inspiration and blame politics for not being able to do so ourselves. Sports is just another example.
The fact that we are able to make the Olympics in multiple events by making the cut and not through quaota in itseld is a major step forward in our Sports history. Let's hope that Abhinav Bindra is just the pathfounder and pray that many will follow.
We get so worked for things we don't or can't have. But rarely do we do we take a step back and take a look at the bigger picture. We all should be greateful for what we have for there are more of them who don't have what we have.
Well, I agree there are a lot more of them who don't have what we have and that will always be the case. Another friend made a valid point saying we are among the silent workers in the world, we dont appear on the world news every other day but are contributing significantly to the progress all over. I too realized after venting out my frustration that there's more to look into oneself than just blaming for what one doesn't have to what he/she could possibly achive with what he/she has. But with Politics, I should definitely say.. there's a lot that can be improved in the less of its involvement in recognizing talent..
