Bindra wins Gold @ Beijing 2008




Cool guy Bindra ( with steely nerves ) won the first ever individual olympic gold by an Indian. Abhinav won with an overall score of 700.5. He and Zhu Qinan ( china ) were both tied till the last shot. Abhinav's last shot of 10.8 was his best shot of the day and helped him tip the scales. For the cricket fans, its like hitting a six in the last ball of the match for a win. Zhu had to contend with a silver. Now, the indian media will start shooting all over bindra..poor AB :-)

Canara Bank opens branch in Shanghai


Canara Bank's Shanghai branch was inaugurated by MS Gill and Vishnu Prakash on 6th Aug. Gill ( Sports Minister ) was on his way to Beijing to take part in the Olympics opening ceremony. Hope he learns something about sports development and organisation from the chinese. The event was held in Shangrila hotel Lonyang ball room. The view of Bund from its Balcony is breath taking.
