It all started 4 years back in small common TV Room of Pearl Hostel in National Institute of Technology where my friend pandari and myself seeing the olympics. While we were seeing Isynbayova making olympic record in pole vault we talked that we should be seeing olympics in our life time. With no job or money in hand the thought might seem that of a college guys who says what ever they like but it was a dream for us.
And I forgot about this totally for the next 3 years. A year before when beijing olympics news start to hit the papers, pandari was the first to give life to our dream by calling me and another friend parthi. He tried several others but may be it was only us who had the same dream. We stuck together and we continued till the end.
The motto of olympics was “ One World One Dream”. Ours was “One Life One Dream”. All of the efforts to get event tickests was from pandari and parthi. We could not believe even when we were on the plane to beijing we could still not believe that we have made it.
Our enjoyment had no bounds. We were on cloud nine when we saw India winning olympic gold. We also saw isynbayova breaking her own olympic record in front of us, the record which she kept four years before which we saw in TV in our hostel.
