CHINA'S OLYMPIC LOGO

"Power oozes from the barrel of a gun", said Chairman Mao.



..... And it still does ......!




And will continue to do for a long time to come... Be it just in nations or globally, ....... in Sports or in War Games.... 2008 or .... 8002.

The Olympic Rings of sports are the sufferings of past centuries although such rings are recent romanticised idealistic symbols representing 5 regions of the world.

Achievement, success, victory , ... glamorised suffering, all just for a garland that fades.

The same fields that poor peasants plough with their sweat and where soldiers bleed to death, where wars were faught, are now used for glory of man's push to their finite noble limits. This twilight zone or outer limits is lit with a torch of human sufferings as a sanctuary of peace amidst violence and protests.

In poverty its a farm; In war its a battlefield; In wealth its a sports arena!
