Beijing Olympics kicked off in dazzling style yesterday and it was truly an eye candy experience; a wedding of colors, lights, gimmicks and many more. Times of India probably had the best description about this spectacular opening ceremony, something which not many of us may have witnessed before many times. TOI said, “Defying naysayers and prophets of gloom, China put on a cultural and technological extravaganza that had the watching world oohing and aahing during the entire spectacle that lasted four hours.” True. Absolutely true. There were 14,000 performers who took part in this out-of-the-world exhibition that entertained people across the globe.
This is the new China for you. No matter how hard you try, you just can’t ignore the unparalleled commitment displayed by its people. Still in doubt??? Then I am sure you were one of the few unfortunate souls who missed out on this wonderful opportunity to witness one of the best entertainment shows ever held the world over.
Let me sign off with a beautiful quote from Juan, a Spanish citizen, one of the lucky few who were part of the audience at Bird’s Nest, “China spoke from the heart and the world fell in love,”…. We all did Juan!!!
