Perfect Moment Of pride

India. Indians. Freedom Struggle. etc etc Honestly i was not one of those Gr8 souls who spent a lot of time Discovering the Greatness Of Our Nation.I was rather one amongst those crowd of Youngsters who thought Majority of Time and thoughts should be rented only 2 Career,Family,Friends,Hangoutz,Masti etc etc..


For the First Time I Felt d Indian Spirit withn Me was when i watched Rang De Basanti..Dat Movie actually stroke a chord In Me...An Equal Effect was rendered By Chak de India... I Realized it 4 d 3rd time when India won T20 wold cup...Sounds Funny...Probably dat was My Kinda Sources Of Nation Spirit :)


And Finally, There came a moment that Made not jus Me But Every Single Indian Proud.

"Ace Shooter Abhinav Bindra has won India’s first-ever solo Olympic Gold Medal. In the Men’s 10M Air rifle event, he shot a 10.8 out of a possible 10.9 in his final shot (after a series of 100, 99, 100, 98, 100 & 99) to take his combined score to 700.5 [Read about the scoring pattern here] and thereby clinch the Gold Medal. "

Wasn't it A Perfect Moment.As Bindra bowed his head to receive the gold medal from the Princess of Lichtenstein, a small country in central Europe, and the Indian national anthem was played out for the first time in this edition of Olympics. I almost got Goosebumps Hearing Our National Anthem Nd viewing The Visual Of It Being Presented at Olympics.

Here The Video Of My Context of Perfect Moment 4 an Indian:



And here Are Few Words From The Golden Boy Himself,

"After his win, the 25-year-old shooter spoke to NDTV.

Excerpts from the interview:

How did he make it possible?

I worked hard, very very hard and I think that paid off. I think I just went for it, it just went my way and that's about it, on another day somebody else would have won it. Today was my day.

What's the feeling now?

I am pretty exhausted now, it's alright I did a good job and I am happy now.

On his motivation level:

That was a motivation, I thought if he can do it, why not me? I think performancewise I did better in Athens, but got the gold only here.

You can never be sure, sports is like a gamble, somebody loses somebody wins, but you work hard for it and I did that.

On his future plans and the future of Indian Sports:

Give me a break, I just won an Olympic gold, please don't ask what I am doing in the future!

The main problem is with such people who ask such questions about Indian sports. You have to believe in your athletes and if you don't win, doesn't matter, you can do it the next time. This is a start and I hope we win many more medals."

Hats Off Abhinav! U've Made all Of Us Proud.U Have become An Ultimate source Of Inspiration. And Ur Attitude Of welcoming Ur Victory was Jus Awesome. Way 2 Go Man..U rock!!

Proud 2 Be an Indian. Jai Hind. Advance Happy Independence day!!

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Adopt what is right.....

I see that many people of my age group adopt certain western cultures. School students and college goers are often seen buying friendship bands and valentine cards. I feel its not right. You may think I am traditional and don't keep up to date views. But if you think a little maturely you will find out its not modern to wear friendship bands. Its rather pure pride. Now as I am talking about western culture I should tell you that I'm not against it in fact I find some of the western values very much followable like dignity of work, civic sense, accountability etc. We have to maturely decide what to adopt from the westerners and what not to adopt. Why should we go after them when we have a culture of such great versatility? -Priya Joyce

7 Wild healing practices That Healed Me More Than Coaching Ever Did: What If Getting Better Means Getting a Little Wild?

What if healing does not always begin with another question, another worksheet or another carefully worded goal? Wild healing practices invite emotion into the body through movement, sensation, sound, memory and ritual. This first-person journey explores seven unconventional practices that helped me notice what conversation alone could not, while keeping therapy, safety and genuine trauma care firmly in view. Have you ever spent so much time trying to improve yourself that you began to suspect that self-improvement had quietly become another job? I know the feeling. There was a period in my life when I could discuss my emotional patterns with impressive confidence, identify my triggers before breakfast and explain the origin of almost every uncomfortable reaction with the solemn satisfaction of a man who had finally discovered the instruction manual for himself. I was learning, reflecting, journalling, setting intentions and having sensible conversations about growth. On paper, I was d...
