finally, the thirst seems to quench. The road ahead looks bright and sunny. The hopes are alive again and the establish ourself as a growing country who can be better in all fields, not just in economy.
Thanks to devoted effort of some olympians like abhinav, sushil and vijender we ar moving forward. The semifinal match for vijendra kumar id few hours away. I am not beaming with optimism of gold, but hope in me tells me hold on, expect the unexpected.
2 golds in Olympics would be just the icing on the cake. Vijendra has nothing to loose. But burden of 1 billion hopeless Indian suddenly waking up to glimmer of hope might be too much for him, as it was for akhil.
I would bet Akhil would have moved ahead had it been world championship, but olympics brings the desperation not only for himself but for the whole country. The hunger of half a century is insatiable. It can consume anybody. I hope Vijandra can hold on and believe. Only one he should play for is himself, no family no country.
Whatever happens we would be still our heads high. We are moving forward and someday we will be in top ten.
Someday...
