Today, Abhinav Bindra won the 10m air rifle gold and became the first ever individual from India to win a gold medal at Olympics. I think this is the most joyful event in the history of Indian sports. More so because, it was a painful thought that a country with more than 1 billion people […]
You got to pay me to pay me! – The TalkMobile story.
