Abhinav Bindra once shot 100 out of 100 in practice six times in a row and walked out of the range unhappy. He is a perfectionist who once soled his shoes with rubber from Ferrari tyres because he thought it would help. He would wake up at 3:00 a.m. to practise at his range at home if an idea suddenly struck him. It is from such obsession that greatness arrives.
Abhinav Bindra's journey to become the first Indian to win an individual Olympic gold, and the first Indian to win a World Championship gold, is a story of single-minded passion. The Olympics has been an all-consuming journey for him ever since he was shattering beer bottles and glass ampoules in his garden in Chandigarh. No obstacle was too hard to overcome, no amount of practice too much, no experiment too futile and no defeat so severe that it made a comeback impossible.
Shattered by his failure at the 2004 Athens Olympics, when a gold medal seemed imminent, he changed as a shooter: from a boy who loved shooting, he became an athlete bent on redemption, a scientist who would try anything - from mapping his own brain to drinking yak milk to climbing rock walls - to win at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. His victory was not just a personal triumph; it was a gift to his nation, a breaking down of a sporting barrier that had stood for a century.
Bindra's feat has taught his peers, and those yet to come, that an Olympic gold isn't an impossible dream. In ranges, on fields, in arenas, Indian athletes now own a new belief; they wear the knowledge that no challenge is beyond them. Helping to tell this remarkable story is sportswriter Rohit Brijnath, who collaborated with Bindra in producing this compelling autobiography of one of India's greatest sportsmen.

True to what I expected, the journey of Abhinav Bindra must be learned, most be studied in detail, just like he studied his sport and himself in detail. To what extent he went, to gain that minute little more, is amazing to know. This is peak of introspection and self realization.
This also tells us that it is not only the 'rags to riches' success stories that are inspiring. That rich doesn't necessarily mean spoilt. That a comfortable childhood doesn't necessarily groom a softer athlete, or person. It is all about passion, realization. And in a way, I felt, that the lack of a 'need' to be a better athlete and perform well to support your family, is sometimes a disadvantage in a life of sports.
Very well written, this story delves deep into the finer details of a sport unknown to many, a lesser glamorous, lesser followed sport of technicalities and mind games. And also into the thoughts of Abhinav Bindra, a self conquered introvert, who is in fact ready by all means to shout out whatever he has learnt, to inspire one more shooter, to shoot for India. What a journey, sir. Thank you for this.
