Yes, we got our first individual gold (ever) and am sure we should have atleast 2-3 more medals (boxing, archery and tennis).@GirishMallyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923948088345062798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-89414194837041771882008-08-09T01:09:00.000+05:302008-08-09T01:09:00.000+05:30May the best man win.Awww Kiara sounds like a cuti...May the best man win.<BR/><BR/>Awww Kiara sounds like a cutie.Please put her pic up sometime :)<BR/><BR/>Have a nice weekend!Sameera Ansarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249126041067834608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-45021760383210277172008-08-08T23:24:00.000+05:302008-08-08T23:24:00.000+05:30u indeed speak bitter truthbt we stil ve 2 keep in...u indeed speak bitter truth<BR/>bt we stil ve 2 keep in mind the facilities provided 2 our atheletes or lack f therof should become d talking point<BR/>afterall dey r d best v produce n all f us shud b ahamed of ourselvesalxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591780230036934151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-72907804463421143222008-08-08T21:32:00.000+05:302008-08-08T21:32:00.000+05:30Well, for one thing we Indians hardly give importa...Well, for one thing we Indians hardly give importance to sport while we/our kids are at their age. This applies to other fields as well. It always has been academics. I state my own example here. I'm a trained surgeon but I am planning to do music in the future. I love my surgeon-hood. But I used to love music more. And when it came to choosing safety, my parents chose to make me just do studies. I had to become independent from them to choose this now.<BR/><BR/>@ the dog: Do they allow dogs at restaurants/movies in Mumbai?

They get <I>vilayati chakkar</I> na. how lucky they are. heahahah<BR/><BR/>People don’t really care for any other sport in India. Baaki sab are just momentary. Even the hypocritical Shahrukh’s make believe love for Hockey didn’t do any good for the sport. <BR/><BR/>Most watch Olympics or any other sport to spot the players innerwear or because they are tooo very sexy<BR/><BR/>Akshay is a true hero. And I love Katrina (now, she gets brownie points, as salman is history for her.) I want to watch Singh is king as well.

The subcontinent has won a total of 17 Olympic medals - 8 gold, 4 silver and 5 bronze - disappointing for a nation of India’s size. At the Athens Olympic games India’s solo win was a silver medal in shooting everyone from Finland to Cameroon left India behind. It’s been nearly three decades since India took home a gold. PriceWaterhouseCoopers expects India to bag 6 medals during the Olympics. India’s hopes are currently pinned on its weightlifting, shooting and boxing athletes.rainboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884782002088989668noreply@blogger.com
