Just my thoughts, etched in words...

I am a little foxed. And I don't know how to react to the reason why some news channels think Abhinav Bindra won the gold at the Olympics. Well, ideally, one's mind would meander at the excellent training that he might have recieved or the mental strength and brilliance of the man. But no. Those might, well, be irrelevant reasons. For all that we are being to made to believe and listen to is how the "stars" were in Abhinav's Bindra's favour. How the letter A in his name has actually brought him luck. This is a time when my senses can't even respond to such derision of a person's effort, I am so dumbfounded. When will we ever view something purely with the pragmatism that it warrants. Let the man rejoice in the glory of his effort, and not the fortuity of a name!

i feel news channels shud just drop the "news" bit from their names... it was funny when i was watching the 10,000 m thing on dd... this woman just runs the race, unfortunately doesn't win a medal, has not even got her breath back when this dude pushes the mike in her face and asks her whether she feels her strategy and approach to the race was wrong.. i mean seriously give her a break... its the media which needs to take a good look at their strategy...
