BEIJING - AUGUST 11:  Abhinav Bindra of India ...Image by Getty Images via Daylife

To be honest, I never thought we’d win even one medal and we’re won two already, and on the way to win the third.

First Abhinav Bindra‘s Gold for Men’s 10m Air Rifle and then, today Sushil Kumar‘s Bronze for Men’s 66kg Freestyle Wrestling. And a definite medal Vijender Kumar will win us in a couple days (I hope its a gold or silver!). This is the Best Olympics for Indians.

Conclusions:

* 106.67% of deaths in India are caused by tobacco, junk food and drugs.

You know you're Indian When….

I was going through my hundreds of rss feeds and found this. Almost all of them are true :P

You Know You’re Indian When…

Everything you eat is savored in garlic, onion and tomatoes.

You are Always standing next to the two largest size suitcases at the Airport.

You recycle Wedding Gifts , Birthday Gifts and Anniversary Gifts

You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone’s house.

You use plastic to cover anything new in your house whether it’s the
remote control, VCR, carpet or new couch.

Your parents tell you not to care what your friends think, but they
won’t let you do certain things because of what the other “Uncles and Aunties” will think.

Your kitchen shelf is full of jars, varieties of bowls and plastic
utensils (got free with purchase of other stuff )

You live with your parents and you are 40 years old. ( And they prefer it that way).

You never learnt how to stand in a queue.

You have drinking glasses made of steel.

You have mastered the art of bargaining in shopping.
