Curtains.

An cheerful congregation of talented youth of the world , oozing confidence,health, vigour , good cheer and happiness has come to an end.

I felt elated when our youngsters snapped one gold medal after the other in quick succession.It has emboldened me to dream of Olympics at our doorsteps in near future.

The closing ceremony was how ever a dampener.A cacophony of sounds, asymmetrical dancing and long , long soliloquies ,marked by chest thumping ,trumpeting , backscratching and delving in local politics .

The saving grace was the martial dance forms , from various parts of India .
