Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly announces retirement

Got to know today that Sourav Ganguly aka dada has announced his retirement. I read the news about India's former cricket captain twice before I could believe it. Damn... the cute Bong captain might not be seen in the matches after the test series with Australia. Hard to believe but true.

Ganguly made his debut in the Indian cricket team in 1996. 12 years of wonderful performance, wins, losses, controversies... and yes advertisements. And now this sudden but sooner-or-later expected retirement. Wondering what he plans to do after this.

Will miss Ganguly in Indian cricket team. Hope he makes a comeback.

Abhinav Bindra made India proud

Abhinav Bindra won a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games making us all so proud of him. Congrats Bindra, you are our hero!

This is one of those awards that hold a great reputation for generations. How every time from now when we talk about Olympics, there's be the mention of his name and his gold medal. How his children and grandchildren and great grandchildren... will say with pride that they are his children!

It's sad that we don't give that much importance to Olympics as it deserves. This includes even me as even I don't tend to write much about this and other sport events and sports. Abhinav Bindra has inspired me to pay attention to all the various types of sports.

Wish I could do something to honour the pride of my country too.
