Olympics are back!
The gaming event that happens once every four years is back. This time, it is hosted by London, a record third time, where no other City has hosted more than twice. In 1908, London welcomed Olympics for the first time. Later, it took up the challenge in 1948, when the world is torn up with the World war. It so happened that the participants from across the globe were requested to bring in their own food supplies so as to reduce the cost. Nevertheless, Olympics - 1948 was a spectacle.
London is hosting the games again in 2012 and this time it wanted the event to be marvelous in every sense. The opening ceremony was directed by Danny Boyle and he made sure to showcase the English history and current dominance to the world. The sequence that showcased the industrial revolution in England was a treat to the eyes. What was not anyway??
Watching the athletes from various countries was truly emotional. I wish everyone a great success at the games. This time, England is represented by more than 400 athletes and wants to cash in the home advantage just like China who for the first time toppled the dominance of America on the points table in the last version at Beijing in 2008.
India has sent the highest number of athletes to London and this time, we are expecting good number of medals, thanks to the great performance in the last edition.
Let the real meaning of the Olympics be unveiled this time too. Victory is not the goal of the games, but World peace is...
Let there be peace!
