Rested and ready to go!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 – 5:10 PM
Have awoken this morning and managed to get 8 hours of consecutive sleep....finally!!!!!!!!! Feel good and ready to actually hit the day head on with training, some fitness, a little bit of rehab and a good session of keeping your thoughts at bay....
I actually feel relatively fresh today and am just going to head to breakfast.... the food at these athlete villages is in abundance so much choice that you sometimes get there and spend a good amount of time being confused whether you are really hungry or not....
Nevertheless need sustenance for the day so heading there...
The practice today is going to be something where we are all aiming to get used to our surroundings nothing more and nothing less....
even though most of us here have competed in this range before there will be subtle arrangements and changes that your body needs to get used to so there are no surprises on the big day....
So that is the order of business for today where we will go and soak up some of the vibes in the shooting range and try and get used to things like lighting, the floor on the range and the basic feel of the place....

Bindra you were tied with Henri Häkkinen heading into your final shot. Henri Häkkinen made mess and u a mass a gold. Pls be aware of politicians now. They will offer you every thing. Dont take all that. Help some one who is deserving.
Pls watch sania. Degged up girl doing nothing for India Dont follw her footsteps. Watch Anjali vedpathak. Years she is india's tourist. Visited olympics did nothing. Its ur day. njoy

It is a day to rejoice & solace to all of us that Abhinav Bindra though young in age has bagged gold medal in ten meter air rifle shoot event in Beijing Olympic today, the 11th of July 2008.He bagged this gold medal in his individual capacity whereas the captain of our Indian Hockey Team had won gold medal twenty eight years ago in the Olympic as for his team. The whole country is proud of AbhinavBindra as he has brought a good name & fame of our country by his hard work & firm determination in international arena. He kept our tricolors flag flying at top in the Beijing Olympic that is itself a singular news very soothing & solace to all of us living far & wide. He has established himself very well in international sports arena. He has not only opened avenues only for all those who are at Beijing Olympic for participating in various events to follow his suit but to all the youths of our country who are keenly interested to choose sports as their career to imbibe him to do exceedingly well & bring laurel to our motherland. in their chosen field of sports. Truly speaking, we were very upset with the performance of our participants in Beijing Olympic till yesterday unless we came across this very pleasant & soothing news today. Let us join billions of our countrymen to offer our heartiest congratulations to the young & budding star Abhinav Bindra for his brilliant achievement to bring laurel to our motherland! We wish him all success in his life. He must remember that he has to go long way as it is just the beginning not an end of his sports career. He has become an icon of youth & created history.Let him wish to guide our youth to succeed in the field of sports of their choice!It is well said that he has proved worthy son of his worthy father.

I am also dreaming like the 1billion Indians, when we get an Olympic gold,is it come true in the near future. Finally it will come true.

Congratulations my dear ..... really this is an inspiration for Indian sports. I hope the coming days will prove how it works in Indian minds. Not only in sports but also in the day today work of each and every Indians.

Once again Congrats........ for your hard work, confidence and self control.

Hello!

I was lucky to catch the action LIVE on DD (a channel long forgotten, but now high in demand-thanks to Olympics’08) and needless to say, in a matter of seconds I experienced a full spectrum of emotions, ranging from a la Sushmita Sen being crowned Miss Universe to an eccentric Scientist who'd just made a life saving discovery.

Although, I was surprised to see just a hint, faint one at that, of emotion reflect in your face but believe me when I tell you this- every Indian feels like an Olympic Gold Winner today and will for a long time to come, thanks to you.

Keep up the good work Abhinav!
You’ve put shooting, high up on the dream career list of today’s youngsters.

Ps: I’ve posted here (just like the other 21 smarty pants) after a day long hangover, in the hope that this will be read as opposed to the victory blog with a thousand replies!

अभिनव बिंद्रा का अभिनन्दन

देश ओलम्पिक में शामिल तो होता था
११० करोड़ का देश शर्मिंदा वापिस होता था

अरबों खर्च का था सालो साल कोई हिसाब नही
एक भी एकल स्वर्ण था हमारे भाग में नही

हम विश्व नेता होने का दावा करते थे
लेकिन स्वर्ण पाने को तरसते थे

खेल भावना की मिसाल देते थे
अपने कर्म ठोक रो लेते थे

कभी ध्यान कभी मिल्खा कभी अमृत याद करते थे
कर्नेश्वरी और चौहान को आँखों पर रखते थे

पुरुश्कारो को अर्जुन राजीव पुकारते थे
देश के खिलाडियों को भर भर धिक्कारते थे

असली अर्जुन तो अभ्यास कर रहा था
अपने करतब को पैनी धार धार रहा था

सुबह पूरब से नया उजाला आया
देश में खुशीओं से भरा पैगाम लाया

अभिनव तुम देश की शान
भेद दिया ओलम्पिक का निसान

२५ साल के पंजाब के नवजवान
आधुनिक अर्जुन को देश का सलाम

आओ वापिस देश पलक बिछा इन्तजार में है
बिंद्रा के विजय अभियान उत्सव की त्यारी जोरों पे है

तुम्हारी विजय देश का भाग लिखा जाने वाला है
स्वर्ण नही, नवयुवको की प्रेरणा और संकल्प होने वाला है


बिंद्रा परिवार को हार्दिक बधाई
