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...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
