August 11 2008 , this is the date which would always be remembered in history for great son of India .Abhinav Bindra a lad from Chandigarh who brought cheers and laurels for a country of 1 billion population and gifted a first ever Olympic Gold Medal on the eve of 61st Independence Day. First fact in this is the first Gold medal in Individuals Category and 2nd fact is this gold medal came after 28 years.Long wait of near 3 decades is a very huge waiting time for fellow countrymen.Being a sportsperson I know how one feels more pain of not doing such thing .This is a kind of dream for every patriotic person like me to do something for his /her country.Like other sports person I too dreamt of going to Olympics but due may be lack of dedication and focus I couldn't reach and remained at national level only.
But neverthless Abhinav has done us proud now.I wish him and his family a great long life ahead and he keeps breaking the records and bring cheers to million of Indians .
I want to write more and more here but can't find enough words to explain the happiness.
Only can say this day would be written in great golden letters in the history of India.

Long Live Abhinav

Regards

Nitin Badhwar

Dear Nitin

It was such a proud moment that my eyes swelled with tears of joy. Usually, I see TV once in a week, yesterday, I must have seen the TV since morning till late night, all the time only news and repeated programmes about Abhinav and his glory.I have met him and knew that one day he will get medal for India and himself. He is very focused and hard working. He is lucky to have born with silver spoon. Unlike, other Punjabi affluent boys, he has been like a saint for his devotion for the shooting. In fact, he should have got the medal in Athens for sure, just bad luck.

It is a medal which has been won by him and his family alone and the system of this country has done nothing. Can you imagine, once his application to import a rifle was declined by the government. Now the same system should hid its face in shame, but they are shameless and taking pride instead.
