Athletics events will begin later today (IST) at the London Olympics 2012 and Shot Put will be one of them. Google celebrates the event with its latest Doodle.

India's Om Prakash Singh Karhana too will be taking part in the shot put heats that begin later in the day.

Shot putter Om Prakash Singh would kick off India's campaign at the showpiece Olympic Stadium and the youngster has been in high spirits after having trained at Szombathely in Hungary for two years.

He is among those Indians who broke the national record in the build-up to the Games, with an effort of 20.69m in May. He is aiming to at least qualify for the final round in his debut Olympics.

'I can be the dark horse as I am hurling the shot put beyond 21m during training. My aim is to first qualify for the final round and then I can think of a medal. Who knows, it depends on the performance on that day and I can grab a medal. If not, I want to finish in top six,' he said..

    Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

    ik jazbaa dil mein hai.....

    meri manzil saamne khaddi....

    badi mushkil raahein thi
    par dil mein chaahein thi
    lo faisle ki aa gayee ghadi....

    toh zindagi saath hai!!

    aap agar saath hai
    toh jeet bhi saath hain....


    dil mein ehsaas hai khaas hai....
    humse ummeedein lagi

    duniyaa se aaj hum to takrayenge
    agar har dil apne saath ho........

    har ummeed aapki
    har armaan aapka
    viswaason ko hum kandhe pe liye

    duniyaa se ladenge
    aage hi badhenge
    himmat le ke hum to chal diye....

    aap agar saaath hai
    toh darr ki kyaa baat hai

    aap agar saath hai
    mushkilon pe maat hai

    aap agar saath hai
    zindagi saath hai

    aap agar saath hai
    jeet bhi saath hain....
