India's first EVER individual Gold!!

Eh? It's more than enough.


Comes around to $500,000 approx. For that money at best a person can only hope of buying a 2600 square feet of land in the major metros or a super deluxe flat with some cash in the kitty currently and with the real estate prices soaring up it could amount to nothing in the next five years. Certainly not a big money for Indians.
 
Rubbish.

For 50 lakhs you can buy a fully furnished 3 bed room floor in a bunglow in Delhi.
 
For all you Indians out there.. what a moment.. we have won our first ever Individual gold. Abhinav Bindra in 10m air rifle shooting. hats off to you sir.

For all others, this might be a normal thing for your countries, but just huge for us!!


The Medal Ceremony


First ever? :lol:
 
I don't know about those cities. But give me 2 crores now and it is more than enough to live a good life in Delhi.
 
Good luck to the guy, but can someone explain to how shooting from 10M is a sport?

Seriously?

For 2 Crores you can't get a flat big enough to fit a double bed in a decent area of Mumbai.

50 lakhs is certainly enough to buy a good flat in major metros. But if some one looks chooses for a posh locality with inbuilt pools, shopping complexes and other silly articrafts the amount could easily multiply.

Even some Indian banks are offering flat loans that scales up to 1 crore these days and with loads of people utilizing them for tax exemptions.
 
I don't know about pools and stuff. Mumbai's shithole anyway, so I would not live there even for free.

A normal spacious flat in Delhi in a good colony would easily come for 50-70 lakhs.
 
Congrats to the guy. Kept his nerve at the end and won the gold. Made us all proud for sure.

In Goa right now, a decent 3 bedroom flat will be around 1500 sq. ft and that should cost you about Rs. 75 lac.
 
All this talk of cash awards is silly. They should be reserved for athletes who need them. The bugger's fecking rich anyway. A newspaper was reporting his father was building a 200 Cr (50Mn. USD) hotel.

I agree that athletes who need the money should be given money but this guy deserves all that he is getting right now. Just because he is rich doesnt mean he shouldnt be given it. He has worked hard for it and is worth every penny.
 
Gave me a lot of pride in seeing this, huge well done to Bindra. Let's hope this can encourage others into taking up Olympic sports too. Just a shame that the hockey team didn't make it.
 
There's a guy we have at the olympics, 16 years old, representing us in swimming
I had no idea

well, we -had- him representing us, he came 38th in qualification..

class, though.. just 16

i second that.

50-70 lakhs would be enough for decent colonies but not for the posh ones. though it depends on the area like you wouldn't get shite in golf links for that amount.
 
All big cities are shit. It is best to live in a small city or a town.
 
Any of you boys aware of any really good architects in India, ideally in North?
Just planning to build a new house :cool:
 
Mehro, Sultan, Dippers, Zing, Zain, Donado, Wit, Jatin, Kristao, girish, vijay, Crappy, vidared, red-indian, Red Pavan, poisson, zidane?, ecantona7, attackingflair and one quarter of myself. I think suresh is of indian extraction too.

Then of course Mozza, rotherham red, dumpstar are Pakistani(-British). Which is basically the same thing;).

And that's all I can think of atm. I'm sure there are lot more.

It's a bit surprising, is all.

And you're the sexiest.

This goes without saying.

Obviously I'm the best of the lot.

This goes with saying.
