Ok, so this is another Olympic blog post, but I can justify this one.
Earlier this morning, Abhinav Singh Bindra of India won the gold medal in the Mens 10m Air Rifle competition at the Beijing Olympics.
Woo-hoo!
It only took 112 years, but India finally has an individual gold medal in the Olympics Games. As in ever. To put that into perspective, Michael Phelps will win more individual gold medals this week than India has in history.
For a country of 1.1 billion (and perhaps another billion during the span of the modern Olympics), India really is a pretty miserable sporting nation.
So, take a bow, Mr. Bindra. Your nation thanks you, and salutes you.
PS: Take a look at photo of the guy. He looks more like a mathematics professor than an Olympic gold medallist, doesn't he?

Congratulations Abhinav Singh Bindra and India!
So if I'm uncoordinated and I want to be a pe teacher, India might be the place for me to take up teaching. Sounds like I'd fit in just perfectly.
A word of advice. Try to read blog entries in the order they were written. It's a lot less confusing. PS: Did you dance around the room when you found out? In a totally sauve sophisticated way of course. ;-)
totally a professor!
