This marks India's first Olympic Gold in 28 years. Thanks to Abhinav Bindra. For a nation of over ONE BILLION people, we have churned out far less olympians than a country with a fraction of our "resources", like say Australia. But like Chetan Bagat had spoken of the "Bradbury Principle" ( Bindra's gold was not like this though ); we need a wake up call to bring something like sports to national attention, we need to understand that sports means more than just Cricket. its more than just Hockey too.

but more on that later... @ work now.
PS : see the video on YouTube
