The RajaHasan.com List of Olympic Medal Hopefuls

Olympics-saregamapaBeijing, here we come! How can the world’s premier drama team miss out on the world’s finest spectacle - the Olympics 2008?

Though there were a number of medal contenders in this team we assembled - none got a ticket to Beijing. Let’s have a look at the list of people who should have been on the plane to China, along with their disciplines, but were overlooked.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya - Gymnastics: Changes stances and positions only as a ultra-flexible gymnast can do. He takes up stance today, only to do a 180-degree somersault the next episode.

Bappi Lahiri: Not sure if Sumo wrestling is part of the Olympic disciplines, but Bappi da will be there wherever there’s any mention of “gold”. Whether he wins a gold medal or not is immaterial,  the amount of gold he wears should give Mike Phelps an inferiority complex.

Vishal-Shekhar - Synchronised swimming: Again, no reliable evidence that either of them can swim, but they are synchronized for sure. If one gives a 8 pointer, the other will do the same. So synchronized that the JJWS producers wondered if there was a point in having them as two separate judges.

Ismail Darbar- Table Tennis:  The amount of times he has been tossed around like a ping-pong ball by fellow mentors and television channels, he is one of the biggest medal  hopefuls.

Javed Akhtar - Talkathon - Given his ability to speak everything about anything that doesn’t make sense, he is India’s prime contenders in the non-existent Talkathon event  the Olympics. Had this been a discipline in the games, India would have won it every time.

Ravi Babu and Mandira Bedi - The relay race: Now that Ravi Babu has passed on the baton to Mandira Bedi, the race seems to have slowed down a bit. But there seems to be a little more enthusiasm in some quarters as well. But, one thing is for sure - no noodle straps in Beijing for Mandira - what if someone mistakes her outfit as a delicacy?

Ahmed Khan - Dietician. Ahmed Khan isn’t supposed to be in the Olympics as a participant. He will be there as a diet consultant for the squad, given his expertise on Chinese cuisine.

Raja Hasan - Hurdle race - From auditions to eklavya gharanas, to bramhastras to  Himesh Reshammiyas - this runner has jumped across all hurdles. Hurdled across Ustaadon Ka Ustaad successfully and now yet again hurdling over ESBE.

Himesh Reshammiya - Javelin Throw: His own quote : Mujhse lambi lambi koi fek sakta hai kya?

    I think this list of medal hopefuls could be extended further - maybe to members of this forum.

    So, let’s try to work out what Shobha, mmao, raffu, padma and others could compete in?

  8. Shobha, on August 6th, 2008 at 1:29 am Said:

    Oh this is brilliant. :)

    Manish I want to see what you come up with…. :)

    And please include the boys too - they are quiet as a mouse here but there should be some category that they can compete in, right?

    And, what category will you be competing in? You cannot leave yourself out, you know. :)
