Its very strange that it took India 108 years of participation in Olympic games to win an individual Gold medal .The last time India won the gold was for Hockey at the 1980 Moscow Olympics .It's a welcome relief as it may wash away some angst at the National Hockey team for not qualifying.
Cheers to Abhinav Bindra for making the country proud. News is already out that various States and Organizations are competing in announcing cash prizes. Good for Abhinav .He deserves every bit of it .But why doesn't anyone realize that he will be earning exponential amounts for endorsements in years to come. If they had so much money to spare, there are numerous ways to use it to develop our infrastructure. But anyways...better not dig graves on this awesome occasion.
No one believed it could happen until it actually did. Better late than never
