SPECIAL INDEPENDENCE DAY

Yes, it is. Coz exactly on this day, 65 years ago India took its birth as a sovereign nation. We celebrate Independence day every year on 15th August in the memory of all our freedom fighters and ofcourse our country's freedom. The president's "Address to the Nation", Indian flag on the ramparts of Red Fort, 21 gun shots in the solemn of occasion, the National Anthem, the march past by the army, Chief Minister's speech etc,.----This is the way Independence Day always is.

But Independence Day this year is special, not just by the way it always is, but it is about the reason it holds to be special.

  

Six stalwarts in Olympics-London dazzled in the name of one nation- INDIA. 

MARY KOM and SAINA NEHWAL stood as the epitomes for rising women power and success. 

Magnificent Mary, as she is called by the International boxing association, was the five time world champion. The mother of twins enrolled the name of India in the history of woman boxers of the world. So hats off to her.

Saina Nehwal who earned India its first medal in Badminton, has a tendency of fighting for each point. She hopes for more Indian Badminton players to challenge the domination of Chinese in the game. She was disappointed  as she could not give her total performance in the Bronze medal match. Don't worry Saina, your energy and will power deserves a medal.

Ace rifleman Gagan Narang who added India into the Bronze medal list, brought cheers to the fans who were disappointed as Bindra misfired. But we all have to remember that he once gave India a gold medal, and this time he too did put his effort. He was just unlucky though.

On the other hand sport shooter Vijay Kumar won silver medal in the individual 25m rapid fire pistol.

Wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Sushil Kumar gave their best performances and won Bronze and Silver for India. The fans cheers for the wrestlers reached the sky as soon as they reached the podium. While Sushil shared his victory and medal with his wife, Dutt's mother feels like its high time for him to get married.LOL.

Its really high time for all of us to understand that every sport or game needs support and encouragement. Then by the next Olympics India too could record grand successes and medals. Really hoping for India to be soon called as a ONE-SPORT nation to MULTIPLE-SPORT nation.

JAI HIND.
