Good Going…

23 08 2008

The Beijing Olympics 2008 is on and as everyone knows India got its first ever solo gold medal winner few days back in the form of Abhinav Bindra. At first I had thought that this medal was the first and the last for India in this Olympics. But the Indians have done a really good job this time in acheiving two more medals namely in Men’s Freestyle 66kg Wrestling and Men’s 75kg Boxing events. Sushil Kumar and Vijender Kumar respectively won bronze medals for India in these events. :)

A hearty Congratulations to them both!!!

And thus that makes my previous expectation of India coming home with just one gold to account for in the medal tally fail. Its a really good thing for India. These medals will surely help in improving the morale of the future atheletes I guess. Anyways from the past few Olympics, India is looking like they are improving on this front gradually after the solo bronze in Sydney in 2000 to a solo Silver in Athens in 2004 and then to these 3 medals (till date) in Beijing 2008. So I hope we will surely see some more better performances in future.. :)

Thus Best Of Luck India!! Hoping for many more achievements in future!!!! :)





The latest not-so-happenings of my life…

20 08 2008

Ok, so here I am writing another entry in my blog and not giving a domn about how many people visit my blog ;) Now about the latest happenings (actually not-so-happenings) in my recent days.

So, to start with recently I am busy in making a game…yeah an actual, functional 3D game! :) Its actually my college project that is going on and we are having a group of seven who are going to make this game come into reality… But we have to submit all this things on a given time and the fixed submission date. But, the submission date has been changed twice till now and we are expecting a third one now. :x Yeah, but the game thing is going on well and I think we are working towards it ;) and hope to complete it… Btw, the game we are making is a combat flight game named ACE FIGHTER and I think I might post something more about it once it gets completed (hopefully ;) ).

The other new thing would be that I have realised that today is the day I complete my one whole year after coming to Chennai for my college ( without counting the number of times I have been back home ;) ). And I think thats one my biggest achievements in my life so far ;) and more are sure going to come by as I have to stay still longer here ;) !

One more thing to be added to this would be a BSoD. Yes I had a BSod attack on my laptop two days back :(

But I have successfully reinstalled my Windows ( so what if the Windows is famous for its BSoD?? I still use it as I don’t know to use any other OS ;) )back on my system and thats one more feat to be accounted as this was the first time I have personally installed the operating system on my system ( with the help from my friends :) )

And hence, these were I guess few of my ongoing and completed achievements in recent days!! :)





India’a first solo Gold medal at the Olympics…..

11 08 2008

ABHINAV BINDRA

Yes, thats the name that will be on everyone’s mind from now on when the Olympics are mentioned. The shooter from India did a remarkable feat today by winning the Gold medal in the Beijing Olympics currently.

This is the first individual Gold for India at the Olympics and thus is a thing to celebrate. yeah, and I think that explains the current situation of Indian Sport. The only sport being supported here is cricket and that too many a times is not the worth… This was clearly seen when it was declared that a prize of Rs. 25 lakh will be given to Bindra by the BCCI! And yes thats the Board of Control for Cricket in India…. ;)

Well, I think this Gold has bought in such a publicity for Abhinav Bindra that today while checking the Google Hot Trends in India, the Hotness of the search topic “Abhinav Bindra” was ‘Volcanic’ while the second most hot topic was just mild in the hotness..( actually these hot trends can be found out on the iGoogle portion of the Google )

So, now that the Gold has been won the common scene I guess for the next few days or maybe for the remaining days of Olympics will be the discussions about Abhinav Bindra and his heroic achievement of the Gold medal on all the Indian news channels ( who are now no more different from the daily soaps of Ekta Kapoor :P ) But unless we get one more medal and I think it seems very unlikely. Anyways, lets see how the events unfold in the days to come and whether the Indian contingent in Beijing is capable of lifting the medals tally a little more further or will it end just simply as

India: Gold:1 Silver:0 Bronze:0 Total:1

But not sounding so against the Indian team I hope that they do a very good job over there and come back to India with flying colors…. :)

And yes…. once again

CONGRATULATIONS TO ABHINAV BINDRA





Back Again…..

11 08 2008

Oh My Gosh! I just woke up to the fact I have not updated this since last month… You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. Cheers Mate..

I am busy with an awfully big adventure, personal projects, just generally being not online in order to my friends, my day starts from 8am to midnight. I am not complaining though. life is good.

I hope you are having a good life I will make more of an effort to blog more often. Truly! I really, truly promise!.

Actually the above post is not at all mine. Its a really funny link that I found out on the net (frankly speaking it was one of my friend who showed it to me). The link is here.

Well so, I am back again at posting things on the blog. I was away from a good net connection one more time and now I have got one in my room. So, I think I will be filling this up more frequently.
