The Immortal Moments of Glory

It is said that time and tide wait for none. But, humans are in a constant habit of challenging the preset rules. The technologies and the brains give them the grit to prove the universal facts as myths. There was a time when only choosy moments like weddings and birthdays were captured and that too involved great efforts and a lot of fortune. But today with the arrival of digital cameras and videos, immortalizing every single moment of our lives has become possible. Today birthdays, get-together, family functions, child birth and every other moment which is not meant to get faded, are captured to keep them stay fresh and lively. The tide of time is called back at discretion of the humans.

Internet has a huge collection of videos narrating the famous and infamous moments to those who have missed them and retelling those who can't have enough of them. There are websites which dedicate themselves solely to videos. Just type in the related word and enjoy watching the videos to your heart's fill.

The very recent Beijing Olympics created a benchmark in the history and had many memorable instances of pride, glory, victory and also defeat. Indian hearts get filled with pride and elation each time they watch Abhinav Bindra winning his last round of shooting and the Indian National Anthem resounding at the Birds Nest stadium.

Not only this, the record achievement of Michael Phelps to surpass Mark Spitz's record was undoubtedly a red-letter day in the Olympic history and definitely was not meant to get over so soon. The whole world rejoices this victory again and again through the online videos. The speeches of world leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru ("My trysts with destiny") and Nelson Mandela are worth listening again and again. People still adore and revere the great thoughts draped in utter simplicity. The Indian World Cup victory in the year 1983 was a legendary instance which is still precious to every Indian cricket admirer. The wardrobe malfunction incidents which happen now and then in fashion shows are shot much to the concerned models' embarrassment.
