		<description>Oh! i can understood.. it happened with me when i was in NZ...
kiwi&#039;s were feeling that cricket is our national game...

Anyways.. i feel we are improving year by year in olympics.. things take time to change.. (i accept rate is much slower in india)!!! If we cannot play atleast we can proud of whatever we have earned.. just think of a case 1 Billion and no medal..

atleast we are in better situation!</description>

		<description>Lets face it. India does not have the infrastructure or the inclination to be a sports encouraging nation. We have to change a lot of things from our mindset to our teaching techniques to be there. Till then we don&#039;t deserve a medal.</description>

		<description>I started hating cricket (yes, u read it right) when Sachin started playing like Sehwagh :D

Hokey and football has been always my favorite games. Not that I played them, but I always enjoy them much. 
And there is no use of asking questions  like &quot;when we are going to do this...and that...?&quot;, call me pessimistic but I don&#039;t expect anyone in charge now is going to do anything. Heart change thingy happens only in movies not in reality.

Bah, whenever it comes to politicians and corruption, I feel like being too much pessimistic, otherwise I am too much optimistic and positive in everything. :&#124;</description>

		<description>Thank God Abhinav won a gold medal for us........It would have been very very shameful if we didn&#039;t get at least a single medal!!!!.He deserves all the attention (though I agree the media is over doing it)  because he reached the Olympics all by himself with no thanks to the Govt..He could handle the expense luckily because he comes from a rich family.We DEFINITELY have lots of talent but the govt. &quot;Claims&quot;  they have not much money to spend for providing equipment/training facilities for the athletes.I totally agree about cricket being a business.Its the best way to fill the pockets of the govt.

I still remember once P.T Usha couldn&#039;t participate in the Olympics because the Govt claimed they had no &quot;sufficient&quot;  funds to provide her shoes and other running gear!!!!!

How shameful!!!</description>

		<description>I was there to see the football final match at Ambedkar Stadium yesterday. The stadium was in a sorry state. Stinking toilet and dusty concrete slabs for seating. We can&#039;t expect better than that..the VIP gallery had just one ceiling fan. But the ticket price was Ok ! A mere 20 Rupees (an IPL ticket costed not less than 500 bucks).

Hey! the performance of the Indian team was impressive. Bhutia and his boys did it again. They won the Nehru Cup at the same venue last year.

For a change the stadium was full..almost 20,000 people. Thanks to the students from the North-East and some dei-hard fans like me! (bunked office for just to be there). Hyderabad, where the tournament was held till the semi-finals, could hardly attract 1000 people!!

- &quot; was there any match Bhi saab?&quot;..the curious auto driver asked. 
- &quot;Yes, India vs. Tajikistan.&quot; 
- &quot;Tajikistan?!!..which team won?&quot; 
- &quot;India..4-1&quot;
-&quot;Is there any series going on?&quot;
-&quot;It was the final match.&quot;
-&quot;OK&quot;

He remained silent for some time and suddenly..
-&quot;So, it was an international match.&quot;
-&quot;Yes&quot;
-&quot;All of them come&quot;
-&quot;all of them?&quot;
-&quot;Ganguly, Sachin and all?&quot;
&quot;..er  Yes, yes&quot; And I was busy with the phone all the way after that.

Coming to Abhinav Bindra..the guy saved the face of one Billion population! Thank you.</description>

		<description>OUCH!
Did you fall hard? Please be careful..! 

And yeah, it&#039;s kinda pathetic to imagine that this is the country&#039;s first gold medal and how the media is hounding Bindra... And cricket has literally monopolized the country&#039;s sporting industry and MS Dhoni&#039;s hairstyle is bigger news than Indian football team winning the tournament! 
And hockey? Bah! I&#039;m ashamed to say that such a lovely sport has received such little recognition!</description>

		<description>I know how you feel as i felt the same.. initially i felt proud and then let down. I mean what could be so bad in India for out Athlets not to come out and shine... i don&#039;t want to go into details but yu get the crux of the matter, don&#039;t you!

And why even think of changing our national sport? Rather our existing national sport should be given more focus!

p.s. hope your left is fine now! or is it still hurting? TC and LOL</description>

		<description>Faith
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.”
	                  {Hebrews 11 v 1}.

 For faith is believing in things that we cannot see. Now we must believe that what we have prayed for will soon manifest in our lives, for by faith we will truly receive. 

Yet some people say, “ but it’s not easy and you don’t know what I am going through,” well, that is true, but it still doesn’t change the fact that Jesus said, “ All things are possible to them that believe,” and we must live by faith. 

It is worth hoping and believing for things in our lives to change, it really does not matter what people say, or what we feel, for God said, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God”. {1 Corinthians 3 v 19}.
