Going for the gold

Ranked fourth in the world, Anju Bobby George has come a long distance to emerge as India’s Olympic medal hope. M.S. Unnikrishnan tracks her record-breaking triumphs and her chances of striking gold at Athens.

 

EIGHT gold medals in hockey and three bronze medals in wrestling, tennis and weightlifting are all that India can boast of from their Olympic odyssey over the decades. The gold hunt in hockey ended with the depleted Moscow games in 1980. The introduction of Astro-turf put Indian hockey out of the Olympic medal bracket.

THE global spread of Punjabi diaspora is impressive. They’ve made their mark in diverse fields, which is relayed back home by Pardesaan Wich Punjabi. It gives us glimpses of the way Punjabi NRIs have adapted to different cultures. There’s obvious assimilation of traditions to an extent, but the cultural essence is kept intact.

She gave Black Beauty the reins

YOU can always pick out the children who have read Black Beauty. When they’re not cantering about the playground, tossing back their hair and making neighing noises, they’re piping up in the classroom about the environment and being kind to animals.
