New Found Joy

The olympic tirade in the USA was filled with the face of Phelps and the eulogy that sports analysts had for the "Great American" was inundating. Even the great man was embarassed by this face of the media, which cannot fail to fall further into the depths of self deprecation. It all seemed another cliche' until the fateful moment arrived. The archer pointed his illusionary arrow at the crowd, premptive, to the spectacle he was about to unleash. The human race transcended into a different level of happiness under the spell of USAIN BOLT. The bolt of lightening that struck the Beijing will never be forgotten. It bewitched and transfixed us in disbelief, was this a race for gold or a parade of self contentment, which has been long forgotten !

The sense of mystique surrounding the olympic games seemed to be finally resotored as the barriers of politics, ego ,capitalism and professionalism were shattered by the self effacing and fun loving demeanor of the young man. I wish his contagious air borne spores of happiness spreads widely to reduce shades of gray that has enveloped the human minds in the present times.
