Being Abhinav Is Being Novel

Posted on August 12,2008 First thing first,like every(!)Indian,I am proud of a son called Abhinav Bindra.[I am not too sure whether every citizen of the cricket-crazy nation has heard of him before!!] But at same time,I am sad.And its not being depressive,rather being pragmatic.We are a nation of 110 Crores and have waited 110 years to win an individual gold medal.You ll be saying..Hey,Dude..you could have tried? Right you are..because we hardly try..Hey youth,its shame on us..we blame system;we blame misfortune;we blame everyone else; never ourselvesbe it sport,be it academics,be it profession..we are complaining about every wrong reason. No,dear..I am no different..I still seek excuses; when Abhinavs make us proud,even I get excited.No, dear,dont think,I am planning to win Olympics Gold Medal!! But,are not we all in a goldrush in our small,trivial ways? But whenever we cant win, we. better not say it again. Enough of it..When will we be proud for ourselves? God,Give me strength to be devoted to everything Ill dream of.
