Balakshin consolidated his lead by earning three more points. However, Jitender bounced back to reduce it to 6-5 in the second round. Both of them went neck to neck in the second round as they managed five match points each. Russian kept the level of his game as he led 13-8 after the end of third round.

Himmat Karnewaalon ki Kabhi Haar Nahi Hoti

God Bless Vijender:)

The evening the Indian contingent was leaving for Beijing, he had said over the phone to me : poori koshish karoonga ki khaali haath na aaun. :boxing
And he kept his word.

Koyal was reciting the poem by Suryakant Tripathi Nirala as the bout was on :
Himmat Karnewaalon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti (Thanks Neels for posting such a beautiful poem under the thread Hindi- kavita. Koyal knows it by-heart now.)

Just as he was announced the winner, Koyal was reciting....

....Mutthi uski khaali har baar nahi hoti :rock

I was glad to meet Vijender just a month ahead of the Olympics and I took his autograph and he had shyly obliged saying - mujhe iski aadat nahi hai. And I had remarked - Nahi hai to aadat daal lo;)

I am so happy:)
