Next three days after creating the HISTORY. Its something from Abhinav Bindra's Blog...

In search for some normalcy..... Thursday, August 14, 2008 – 6:39 PM
I won the gold and my world has exploded. I like to keep to my self with my familiar comforts. While the attention is flattering, at the same time there is this constant glare of scrutiny which I can really do without. I am so looking forward to being home in my familiar comfort zone. I have flirted with the idea of donning a disguise and running away for a month till the euphoria passes and life gets to normal. Unfortunately that’s not an option just as of now. But hey, it’s a fun fantasy.I am happy to know that air guns are running off the shelves across India. From the many will come the few who can be groomed to go all the way. However, I would like to caution all potential shooters out there that firearms are not toys. Prudence is essential in their use. Please be careful not to cause hurt to any living creature.

the end to my Olympics.... Wednesday, August 13, 2008 – 9:20 AM
So it is now over and the time for me to return home has arrived. I know my life is not goign to be even close to the same upon return but it is something i am going to have to embrace and actually enjoy which i am at this moment finding way more daunting than shooting...The truth is i am scared because it is not somethign i am familiar it but i would like to take this opportunity to thank all my fans and all my well wishers who have rooted for me and all those who have left such kind comments on the blog page as well.i have finished reading all the comments but i am hoping to catch up once i am home and the media hype dies down.I also want to wish the other participating the best of luck...although i am not going to be around seeing them at the village i will be definitely rooting for them from back home. I am hoping we cna come back with some more medals because we have all worked so hard and really deserve some more.

Monkey off my back!!!!!!!! Tuesday, August 12, 2008 – 5:32 PM
More than the joy, elation, euphoria my strongest feeling is a release from a thousand kilo weight that has been daunting me for the last 12 years.I am really really happy that i could deliver for my country and all the indian athletes who are trying and working just as hard as me.I have a strong feeling that we are going to win more medals at these games and it is going to be great to be able to watch my compatriots without any thoughts like my training and event off my mind.I really hope this is the beginning of a journey of many more medals for India and glory for our great country and its people.

I feel like being in a new territory

HOTEL TEAM INDIA

In a packed Ashoka hotel, selection was taking place
Here i am Dhepack Tourasia, with cameraman shailesh
Up ahead in the distance, i saw a shimmering light
I couldn't stop my laugh, she was sharad pawar's wife
There she puked in the doorway, I heard Kiran More's yell
And i was thinking to myself, Ganguly must be beating chappell
Then she announced the captain, it was Shinde
There were media men in the corridor, I heard them say..

Welcome to the hotel team india
Such a crooky place
Such a crooky place
Plenty of bookies in the hotel team india
Any time of year, you can find it here

He got the hamstring injury, but he is not sad
He got the Airtel ad, so he is glad
How he plays in the matches, is doesn't matter
At the end of year, he gets 'Arjun Award' letter
So I called up the captain, 'please bring me a victoree
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen eighty three'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night, Just to hear them say...

I will gift you a flat in lokhandwala
Just for losing a match
Just for losing a match
Plenty of rooms in the flat of lokhandwala
And one maruti esteem, to all your team

Black label on the table, the pink champagne on ice,
Gavaskar said 'I am the consultant here, i will only give advice'
And in the wrestling arena, they gathered to fight,
Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth once again, Chawla got pissed because of his height
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the phone,
I had to call the police but there was only an engage tone,
'relax' said the Dalmiya, this is the latest requirement,
Mr Pawar has done it a lot of time, in the parliament !!

And then they all laughed at me and sang along the way,
Kumble was biting his nails in the corner,Just to hear them say,

Come for the Indian team selection
Fifty lakhs a year
Fifty lakhs a year
And we assure you a place in the team,
for Zimbabwe tour, for Zimbabwe tour
