after such a long time, i want to write and why? Due to Bindra’s historic win. I salute this guy. Within such a long gap, i have moved to my new job and left country, completely hopeless of all indians and indianized version of basically anything. I am the only indian in my company, being part of a big chinese group, i had never mentioned india, with any of my fellows. The day he won, i told one the american freinds, that india won it’s first individual gold medal in olympics and he congratulated me. After a long gap, i feel good to be an indian. I, too, wanted to be known as Indian as Bindra is, but may be i never tried as hard, now i feel so. But atleast i shared the same feeling as any indian could sense now. Atleast, he tried and never lost the hope, like i did.

Well said!…it’’s not ‘’shameful” or ”embarassing” to be Indian, like some NRIs make it out to be. It’’s just that I”m concerned about ouur kids, and what kind of a country we are leaving for them to live in. The earlier generation got us Independence, the next generation gave us a base for Industry…what are WE going to do??…leave them the mess…to clean up??..are they even geared to clean it up??
