The Rio Olympics 2016 has begun last week and there are many countries that are taking part in this event. The opening ceremony was grand and it gave way to the start of the mega event in Rio de Janeiro. All the countries that are participating in this event are excited and happy to be part of this event. I would be vouching for Team India, USA and Jamaica in this Olympics.

Team India since it is my native country and we are expecting to win many medals this year. I also support USA since I am working in USA and this second home to me now. I support Jamaica solely because of their track champion Usain Bolt. Team USA are already celebrating since Michael Phelps has won his 19^th gold in the 400m freestyle relay. Team India has legendary Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar supporting and cheering for them. They won their first hockey filed match against Ireland 3-2 with Raghunath V R scoring the first goal for Team India. This was a special win for Team India and they are leading in the Men’s Hockey Pool B. The Indian Women’s Relay team too looks very promising with Ashwini Akkunji and others.

I would convey my best wishes and good luck to Team India, USA and Jamaica for this Rio Olympics. May all these countries win as many medals and make their country proud. The United States is already leading with 3 Gold, 5 Silver and 4 bronze medals in this Olympics. It will be great to watch your home country win the games and medals. These athletes and sportspersons have dedicated so much in their lives waiting to participate and give their best at this event. They would have spent years of training and hard work trying to achieve their goals and qualify for various events. Focus and determination plays a key role for all these sportspersons and they emerge winners if they keep their mind and body in control. They sacrifice on food, free time and other important things just to meet their targets and make it big. And the feeling of winning a medal for your country is truly amazing and joyous. Waiting to watch Usain Bolt race to victory this time too. The Olympic games is going to be fun and ecstatic for all of us. So watch the games when you get time and Enjoy!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
