For all the praise (deservedly) heaped on Abhinav Bindra, this statement by his father disturbs me. [TOI]
Silent killer, as described by his father, he is the one who spotted his son’s talent when Abhinav was 5 years old. “He kept a water balloon on our maid’s head and began shooting, knowing little that a slight mistake could have proved fatal. But his aim was so perfect that I couldn’t think about anything else but make him a pro,” says AS Bindra.
While one cannot fault a 5 year old for indulging in above activity, Abhinav’s old man is either exaggerating or is a modern day Herman Gessler.
Either way, I guess the maid should be thankful Abhinav was not practicing to be a boxing champ.
