Abhinav Bindra's Road to Beijing

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Monkey off my back!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, August 12, 2008 – 5:32 PM
More than the joy, elation, euphoria my strongest feeling is a release from a thousand kilo weight that has been daunting me for the last 12 years.
I am really really happy that i could deliver for my country and all the indian athletes who are trying and working just as hard as me.
I have a strong feeling that we are going to win more medals at these games and it is going to be great to be able to watch my compatriots without any thoughts like my training and event off my mind.
I really hope this is the beginning of a journey of many more medals for India and glory for our great country and its people.

Congratulations Abhinav!!!

To win gold at the Olympics is an incredible achievement. But to be the first individual gold medal winner from India is simply amazing. Your name and your effort in Beijing will be remembered by many in the future.

Your gold medal winning effort in Beijing is going to inspire many children across the country to take up Olympic sports and I hope is the first amongst many such medals in India's future.

Abhinav,

Congratulations !!!

Only way to achieve in this world of competitive sports is by hard-work. You have worked hard and as you have said in your blog you waited for 12 years, so this gold-medal is an assurance to you and many other Indian kids watching you that hard-work does not go waste. Hard work is the only short cut a sportsman can take to reach the zenith of success.

On the other hand Success is a by-product of this whole process which can sometimes come to embrace you and sometimes can pass by brushing you along. But this should not never deter you away from your passion of the game.

Well having said that being Punjabi and from Patiala area , crossing Bindra farm many times on our way to Chandigarh, you are our hometown kid. We are feeling great and very proud and after watching movie "Singh is King" living here in US we can come out of the theatre to talk about India's first gold medal and taking pride in stretching our chest and saying there is a reason for saying Singh is King...

Enjoy this moment and keep passion for the game alive and repeating this success many times to come.

Thanks so much... Everyone's so very proud. It was an intense experience for all of us, hearing the National Anthem being played while you stood on the top.

We can imagine how wonderful it is for you. And wish that your levelheadedness stays when all of this has sunk in.

Good Luck for everything !

Frankly speaking, you are the first person in my entire life of 16 years 8 moinths and 2 days who actually inspired me to work hard for success!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been reading about so many great personalities throught my life but you are seriously the first person who taught me to have pssion for the things one does nad one achieves!!!!!!!!!!1
You taught me to be patient for success because it is not that the strongest and the most favoured ones win everytime!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You taught me If I dont win, that doesnt mean that I have lost it!!!
THANKS A TON!!!!

I hope at least now the people would understand the conditions the Indian Shooters have to train under and the restrictive ammumition rules that discourage many a prospective shooters.

I hope your win will give the much needed shot in the arm for the Indian shooting

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

srilu said...

huh.......you r sooo cooool n composed....n i loved that calm-going nature in you even after a huge success........keep rocking abhinav.......n wanna give u a compliment....YOU R VERYYYY HANDSOME:)

శ్రీనాథ్ said...

Everyone is Happy about you winning GOLD.
I am happy on one side but disappointed on other side.
Its not you who have disappointed me. There are lot many athletes who don't even have support to get Flight Tickets. And today every association and Govt. is declaring 10s and 20s of lakh Rupees.
I wish people could help them and get more medals.

Mrinalini said...

Heartiest congratulations on your stupendous win! We Indians are mighty happy and why not...But I seriously hope the nation's authorities get up and take notice of what we are capable of, not just in cricket but in every other exciting sport.
Kudos to you once again! And have been reading about you being reclusive, I see no harm in that. The message you conveyed is loud and clear. :)

Unknown said...

A MILLION CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU....
you have achieved a great victory and for us indians it has probably never tasted sweeter.... to go down in the annals of indian sporting history as the first individual gold medallist is exciting.. if not now at least later when it all sinks in....

but more than the best wishes and congratulations... its gratitude... thnx for giving india its gold medal..thnx for helping millions of indians realise their dreams of india winning a gold medal at the olympics.. i hope and pray that this is just a preview to what is to follow.... hope to goodness u do not rest on ur laurels... and continue to bring glory and add more feathers to your already feathered cap... the night is still young and the journey is still remaining for you... please realise that india lays a great deal with he sporting heroes... jus try to live up to our expectations as you have done now... india will cheer you forever....thro your ups and lows.....all the best for the future while you now bask in limelight and happiness...

Hey Abhinav, first off congragulations! Am sure its such a great feeling to make your country proud. I live in Dubai and I literally screamed my lungs out when I heard we struck gold. Great work and I wish you all the very best for your future.

Mamta Swaroop Sharan said...

Hi Abhinav,

Great Job Boss! Our Arjun is back!!!
I am speechless; dedicating a few lines from one of my poetries....



Its beautiful, its rich, its rocking;
See the entire world is talking!

India is emerging, embrace it;
Live up to that mark, grace it!

We have arrived, we have paid the price.
Its one and only, Live Life King Size!!!



Your Parents have set a wonderful example for many; “Live your kids dream if you see the potential and facilitate rather than blaming the system. We are the system”.

Yes I do feel bad about those who have such positive mindset but lack resources... for such wonderful and under privileged crowd you and your father can offer an opportunity by transforming your personal “Shooting Range” in to an “Academy”; backed up by efficient Coaches like the one you have. Please you yourself think on those lines and convey my suggestion to your Parents too.



Keep shining!




Mamta

Hello Sir Congratulations and Whole INDIA is proud of you along with me.
i cant explain how happy i am because its such a long time to see INDIA got a gold medal in OLYMPICS after decades.

And i am more impressive with your humbleness and simplicity even after winning the medal than you achievement (though its not a Small thing).

We all will learn from you.

Unknown said...

Congrats on your great win Abhinav! A suggestion though...how about setting up a fund from all the prize money that you are getting to those sportspersons who would shine alongside you if only they had a chance.

Think about it, the "Trust" you set up will carry forward sports and will be greatly appreciated in the years to come.

Very true Abhinav.......I think we as Indians should realize that to excel in a sport it takes years of hard work and real dedication and motivation to achieve big apart from tenacity....There will be times when you try or even perform really well but you donot get results (partly what happened to you at Athens 2004)....Its important that we donot loose hope and keep doing well further.....I am sure that your achievement i.e. the way you have come up after 2004 will be a real inspiration for many.....and lets hope We will win more medals in these summer games......Congrats once again!!!!!

Dear Abhinav,
Ypu have really made all the sportsmen proud. Now i hope the country gets up to the fact the hard work and perseverance that goes into the making of a gold medalist at olympics and the government realises the effort and help other sportspersons in whatever way they could to help them achieve their targets. No sportsperson likes to lose but the support that is required from the government would make it that much more sweeter. Congrats once again and thank you for making me also believe that if you have the belief then anything's possible.

Abhinav, Congratulations.
As citizens and NRI, how can we help India develop a strong atheletes to compete against China and the US?
How about starting a non-profit?
Will you continue to work harder and get the next Gold for the London Olympics as well?
I would like to get your thoughts on these two questions.

Ruchira Mandal said...

Thank you so much for winning. Because of you, our country will be a little higher in the medal list this time. Congratulations. I don't know if India will ever host the Olympics, but if we do, you deserve to light the torch. You also deserve the Bharatratna. I hope they will give it to you and not make a circus about it like they did last year. Congratulations once again.

Abhinav, you should console this man yaar! Haha...he was so inspired by you.

Anyways, my coziest Punjabi jaffis for your achievement. When the national anthem was played, my eyes were moist.

dude...the monkey's surely off your back. But, not off India in general.
In future we need to pull off many such victories with planning and efficient implementation. We need to develop a framework which could propel other aspiring youngsters to the apex. Until then let's hope that for the time being not to rest on the laurels and work towards achieving the bigger picture...
Btw...I forgot to congratulate you...
Many many congratulations and kudos to you, your support staff and your parents for providing seemless joy and satisfaction.
cheers...

You have made the country & Indians everywhere feel proud. And the best part is that you have achieved it so calmly & methodically. Wish & hope that you keep up the winning spirit for all times to come.

You certainly deserve this gold medal! I sincerely hope your victory paves the way for the media to give coverage to sports other than Cricket! The composure,humility and the unfazenness speaks great volumes about you. This is one thing which will be forever etched in every Indian sport lover's memory! Keep up the good show and hope that you win many more laurels and medals for India!

Are you on Orkut?

You are getting carried way, Abhinav. I would rather suggest you to pinpoint precise weaknesses of India that are hindrance to get medals and how to improve them.

Check article on Olympics in NAGARI google group through nagarick.blogspot.com if possible.

Hi Abhinav....
Thanks for making all of us proud.
When I watched your video & esp when I saw our flag being raised above other 2 flag....it was such a proud feeling...
I never knew that I can have tears in my eyes seeing our flag at the top & listening to Jan Gan Man....

Thanks again....
Looking forward to see you awarded as Bharat Ratna soon...

Regards

Hi Abhinav,
My heartiest congratulation on the Gold medal. The joy india had with your achiement is un-explainable. Your victory is as joyful as indian cricket team winning 1984 world cup, Vishwanathan anad winning world chess championship, and as prestigious as the pokhan nuclear tests.

Wishing same from you in the commonwealth-2010, asian games and london olympics.
