Big news....

Hello,

I haven't blogged in zillion years......I haven't been busy.....I haven't been lazy.... I have just been down. Yeah....when a guy like me is down.....he sits all day long watching movies/TV....he needs to get out of the city.....he researches about stupid trivia......

So last month we saw India's best ever performance at the Olympics. I was disheartened when Akhil Kumar lost..... but the fact is that I am in total awe of that guy.....he is awesome....

And of course Vijender Kumar is going to be pretty much everywhere. Everyone is running after him..... he totally deserves this...... but the fact is that things are going big for him only after he got a medal at Olympics....before Olympics also he was doing good.... he won medals at Commonwealth games and Asian Games. I just hope that things finally change for Boxing and boys at Bhiwani.

Bravo for Sushil Kumar

His Final match was such a treat for the eyes.....







So Big news for today:
What's that thing on my face.....my glasses..... so I finally got Specs... It's some stupid power..... but I was advised to wear anti glare.....I find it really weird.....Actually I think, I shouldn't even be wearing them.

It's just going to be one extra thing that I need to carry with me.... Now a person like me who wants the least amount of responsibility....I think it's just too much of a pressure.... Thats why I carry the cheapest possible mobile phone, because I am sacred that I'll just leave it somewhere. The weird part is that I haven't lost even a single mobile phone till now. Thats probably also because no one wants my cheap mobile. I hate carrying my wallet.....there was a time when it weighed "decent" but now it has become a lousy fat bitch.

This just tells me that i am not getting any younger......with my birthday around the corner....this is the last thing I needed.........but....whatever......

"BEIJING (Reuters) - Surprise package Akhil Kumar celebrated India's Independence Day by moving a win away from giving his country its first Olympic boxing medal on Friday.

After outboxing 2005 world silver medallist Ali Hallab of France in the first round, Kumar sent home Russia's world champion Sergey Vodopyanov, who was the favourite in the bantamweight class."
