The Day World was waiting for...

Finally, the Games of 29th Olympiad have officially started.. What a grand Opening it was! Exactly like the world has anticipated it... China has successfully produced the biggest spectacle the Earth has ever witnessed.

I'm still overwhelmed by the greatness of it.. And so is everyone who has watched it, live or on TV.

So many performances! A great exhibition of the Chinese History, Culture and glimpses of it's present and future. everything in a Chinese flavour.. marvelous! Second by second, the drama unfolded inside the "Bird's Nest" and in the sky above it. (You know, I felt it's a perfect appellative for Beijing's National Stadium- a place where the representatives of whole world gathered with the bird of peace in their hearts.

But more than anything else, the opening ceremony has kept the promise. The promise that China made some two Olympiads ago. The promise that these games are going to be different, that these games hold a great potential to change the lives of this six millenia old civilization that has been cut off from the rest of the world for most of the past. The promise of the "One World, One Dream..."

The Games have began.. And I wish for a great fortnight of sporting feast.
