‘There are more difficult things in life’

Just read the Golden Boy interview thought of sharing with others…he seems to be very intellectual person. Infact his answers are very inspiring as well as down to earth.

1. Winning an Olympic medal should not be a big deal. I think this is no big deal.

2. I had goals till my second Olympics. Then I stopped believing in this goal theory and this preparation theory and that peaking theory. Obviously you approach the Olympics looking to win. But, nahin hoga to na sahi. Life goes on. Ho gaya to well and good.

3. OK, it’s the first individual gold. But I really can’t understand why no one has won it before. Really, I can’t! There are many more difficult things in life that are far scarier.

4. There’s a void right now. I worked four years for this. I worked for an Olympics medal for 12 years and now I have got it. It’s basically like you climb a mountain and you have reached the top and you find that there’s nothing there. You win a medal, so what? Life goes on, no? What’s the big deal? What’s the big fuss about?

The World’s Worst Olympians

And…the honours goes to ….INDIA, well that’s what US’s foreign policies website is saying , to quote them:
“Think of India as the Washington Nationals of Olympic sport. India is by far the worst-performing Olympic country—no matter how you slice it. It’s not for lack of trying. A games participant since 1900, India still ranks behind Nigeria, a country with an economy one twentieth India’s size, in total medals. The country’s athletic ineptitude is so profound that a parliamentarian called for two minutes of silence to “lament the demise of Indian sports” after the squad failed to win any medals in Barcelona in 1992.”

TATA Crucible’s Lucknow address

“Ravindralaya,
Motilal Nehru Marg,
Rly Station Char Bagh ke Samne, “

I guess people with grey caps must have enquired about the address from some local fellow, who in order to explain in more avadhi style must have said “Char Bagh ke Samne”. But please don’t perplexed nawabi junta by asking them where is “Char Bagh ke Samne, “ (in case any non-hindi quizzer coming down to Lucknow), otherwise they will reply “Char Bagh ke Samne “ there is only one famous place “Dr. Jain ki Sex clinic. As this is how the so-called world famous sexologist DR. PK Jain advertises himself.

Anyway address is very simple to locate in case team coming down to luck-now wann ask, i guess TC team knows that there will be a lot of outsider team; hence they have chosen the closest place to Char-Bagh, four-garden (Lucknow’s Main Railway Station)

Pepsi to Kick Off NFL Cola

Pepsi is putting a familiar twist on its core brands. "Pepsi Lemon NFL Kickoff" colas will hit shelves on Aug. 11. The limited-time-only, lemon-flavored soda will be available in both diet and regular until November. A Pepsi rep confirmed the details of the pending launch.

Pepsi is no stranger to lemon-flavored cola. Its Pepsi Twist colas debuted in 2000 and were discontinued two years ago. PepsiCo, as well as Coca-Cola, have shied away from full-time line extensions in favor of a less risky in-and-out strategy.Most recently, PepsiCo has introduced Sierra Mist Undercover Orange (in conjunction with the movie Get Smart). Last year, it trotted out Pepsi Summer Mix, Mountain Dew Game Fuel (tying in with Halo 3) and Sierra Mist Lemon Squeeze.

The new product will endorse the current Pepsi Stuff promotion. Each cap of specially marked Pepsi NFL Kickoff will feature a code worth double Pepsi Stuff points.
