I am jealous of Abhinav Bindra! Oh, don't get me wrong. As an Indian I am immensely proud of what he has achieved. But I am jealous because how many of us can even hope of a once-in-a-lifetime chance of making our country proud? :-)

Jokes apart, I just hope that this is the beginning and not the end of India's medals count in the Olympic.

And I hope and pray that his win will inspire droves of young Indian sports enthusiasts to flock to sports other than cricket. I hope it isn't too much to hope for. :-)
