Olympics has been the flavour this month.

After the magical and stunning opening ceremony, the Olympics took off with a bang.

And after a few dismal exits from our Indian athletes, we had Abhinav Bindra's Gold to bring us cheer and most of all, it helped bring back the confidence in our contingent.
What followed was another 2 Bronze medals from lesser known athletes who had lesser expectations on them...Sushil kumar and Vijender Kumar.
Although the 'Big guns' failed to fire, we had lots to be proud of from the 3 medals, considering it has been India's best ever performance at Olympics.

And finally, yesterday, when the curtains were drawn, after another spectacular closing ceremony by the Chinese,who also topped the table of medals with a whopping 51 Golds and a total of a 100 medals, it was time we realised we have a long way to go before the next Olympics in London.
Congratulations to our Indian contingent and wishing them all the best for the next one.
