Dreaming of winning gold

so it took us more than 100 years....but today we have an individual gold in the Olympics...and history will bear testimony to that...Abhinav Bindra will forever be a GK question and answer from now on, replacing KD Jadhav I guess......and suprised and happy as I am like so many others....this is not about AB....there will be countless others who will write about him and I will gladly read those.....and there will be others who have already started writing about how AB succeeded inspite of the system and lament that we have had to wait 100 years for a gold.. I will read those too.....

And I will continue to dream about winning gold.....I dont know the event....I dont know the venue...but thats why we dream I guess....

Where is my opportunity to win gold........I dont want to find a pot of gold....I want to win gold...Lottery tickets???..Gold exchange???....I dont think those will do.....The question I think is not just about winning...The Chinese guy who won silver will probably go home the most dejected, I guess...Even though he won silver...The question is about winning gold...

So i have to define my event.....and i have to define my Olympics...i have to identify the venue..plan the opening ceremony....sketch my opponents...visualize the qualifiers....script the come from behind storyline..fake the composure and graciously accept a gold medal from someone eminent....Tough ask ...so i have to think of alternatives.....the obvious being stop dreaming about winning gold......

at least for tonight.....yes....but I am sure this dream will come back....and some other night I will dream it to completion.....The greatest difficulty I think is imagining the eminent personality who will present me with the gold medal..that depends on so many factors....venue, event, current affairs, availability........tht is the greatest mental block that will ever keep me from winning gold I guess.....but i will keep trying...with the Old Monk as my guide....

I hate all those silvers and bronzes that I have won.....Its time I win gold......at least in my dreams....

Cheers!!
