Clear and present challenge 01/03/2012
Four years of tense preparation by sportspersons across will be finally put to test in the London Olympics in July. As the sporting mega event draws close, it is time to find out how India can fare in the highest platform. TWF correspondent Supriyo Hazra analyzes
The year 2008 was perhaps one of the landmarks in the history of Indian sports. The distant dream of claiming more than one medal in Olympics finally became a reality as three Indian athletes won medals to make the country live through some real moments of celebration. The Olympics 2008 in Beijing surely made India dream bigger than confining themselves within the paradigm of cricket or soccer.
Beijing Olympics provided India with new stars. Three men- Vijender Singh , Abhinav Bindra and Sushil Kumar- became household names by dint of their electrifying performances at the highest platform of sports.

On the dais of cyber-stage every packet of data unzips to reveal information that the brain cells record to do ultimate justice on it.

Me, usually observed all those things and showing a careless approach to receive the cards written, ‘My Best Friend’, pampered myself charitably, especially when it were from never-think-of , ‘unwanted’ personalities.
It was a time; in my mid-twenties, suddenly started the flow of cards being heave on my awfully shaped cot, and the signatures, most of the times abbreviated or disguised in something very personal, on those came from teenagers to mid-thirty womenfolk made the cot decorated.
