Bindra bhai, badhaai!

Am a bit surprised to not see even one post on my friends' page mentioning this :

Kudos to Abhinav Bindra, and here's hoping that the day shall come when an individual gold medal for India is not an amazing one-off, but  another - albeit priceless - contribution towards a healthy tally.

Arrey your f-list needs to be checked then! I came to know of it only thru the f-list - it was all over the place :) ;)

[rileen]

I think your f-list has several posts on this, but not by several posters :-p

Meri f-list ke log to sabhi kaafi busy lagte hain.

[on9thheaven]

Nahi I had several people too... haan tumhari f-list busy lagti hai :)

Aur woh chodo, did you see teh 4X100 men's swmiming relay? Awesome finish!!! :)

So far, I've seen *nothing* of this Olympics - not even one event. Live dekhne ka to yun bhi scene nahi hai, due to the time difference - though maybe I could try catching something over breakfast. Hmm, food for thought.

yes fab!
just saw the archive footage on NBC olympics!
Great to see the Triranga and listen to the national anthem!

[rileen]

Hmm, maybe I'll look for some footage. I'd be more interested in footage of the event itself.

[arunshanbhag]

yes, look at nbcolympics.com
they have the un-edited video of the entire event, till the medal ceremony.

Thanks for the link - unfortunately, it seems to be exclusively for subscribers of T.V channels in the U.S.

Sorry, I missed it - saw the "Ghajini hairdo" bit, then "more silly news", and moved on.

I was actually expecting some reflection on nationalism by you - and now I see that it is indeed there, via Orwell :-)

Thanks, DD :-)

He was impressively composed during the ceremony as well.
