Catch me if you can !! .....Waterman with an appetite for destruction

Six gobbled and two to go !! Some call him the pool shark, some call him the waterman..... the world knows him as Micheal Phelps.

It is said every picture tells a story, bears a character. The frame on the top is not just about a swimmer who is in a class of his own. Look at that face.... it is so full of hunger, it knows what lies ahead, what it wants. At Beijing Water cube, Phelps has so far destructed everything that has come in his way. It seems every race has two parts to it. One, Phelps against himself and the second, rest of the swimmers trying to out swim each other.

Aren't we lucky to witness the heroics of this man? Wish I could take a peek inside his brain and see how he does it, how does he remain so focused about his goal of 8 medals, when he knows that it's not just his mother nation USA, but the entire world is following his every move.

I love this guy !! And I am sure I am not the only one.

Red March.................they are coming!!

I missed the kick-start of the greatest sporting spectacle, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic 2008. I am told that the magnitude of the event was such, that it can stake a claim in Ripley's Believe it or Not.

People who were lucky enough to witness this modern marvel on their monitors, haven't stopped talking about it still. With the creme de la creme, all the global statesmen , the power circle in full attendance, China constructed yet another great wall on 08/08/08.

1100 strong Chinese contingent will try to dig as many gold, silver and bronze during the meet. And all the other nations will have to play catch up. It's not just my prophecy, but pretty much the opinion of the whole world.

What a miss!! I envy all you guy's who were fortunate enough to savor this glorious curtain raiser.
