The over pampered, ...and Miss gibber..

These days i really land totally out of luck when i leave for home after semester end or midsem break, last two times when i was just trapped with some gujju families who really annoy me like hell and i always used to think.. " the worst thing has happened and now everything no matter how worse will be better than this".. and everytime the luck ditches me like some over impudent girlfriend so it did the same this time when i went for raakhi vacations to drop my elder sister home. I was really looking ahead for having a nice time talking to her but the events that occoured were among worst of nightmares.

As the train started and after people get settled to ambience of endless buzz going around in a train.A lady in front of me with her daughter was announcing to others " Meri Beti DPS RKP me padhti hai"actually she made that proud announcement over 10 times( feeling pathetic that i got a count of it donno how) and then to the topping a another young kid who studied at some good school in A'bad also came and sat next to her.. and so the reincarnated "Chak de"(coz girl had the last laugh) began with the comeitition between the two mums going on " Mera beta better" both of them started
what u can call a pop quiz of nursery rhymes ( i would rather call it a 3'rd degree torture..) with endless silly poems bouncing over me i gave it a thought to sing a song in my element tone so that they stop but then i dint for the sake of other people's well being.So i just tried ignoring them and then after some time me n my sister get on with some conversation.

Well its not over yet.Then Miss Gibber arrived well donno her name but she was from our neighbouring college which admits india's best morons ( now don't run looking for answers its the one and only.... NIFT)and then the torture something like " rigorous imprisonment" started as soon as she took her seat she opened her trap(mouth) and started castigating us. she was talking what usually a silly person talks.. her college, to her friend and was getting very grumpy and incidently wen she started talking even the two children(Mr and Miss over pampered) who were revising their english language course in train) started lookin like well groomed kids and all of the people in our coach were really getting annoyed, after 1 hour of harsh torture when she was in no mood of stopping her cell rang and then she started talking on cell ( in bengali.. omg torture unlimited) and then when it was getting extremely annoying and she was still talking on cell the help came from totally unexpected thing ..yes the signal went off and for the first time i thanked " thank good all india is not connected everywhere") and so after some dying desperate " hello.. hello) calls by so called Miss gibber disconnected it.. so buzzed was i that i preffered sleeping there after.. and then i woke up at 4:30 when i was at jaipur station.Well looking back to tha tday .. the only positive i can remember is that i had sound 8 hrs sleep which i don't get even in my room many a times.. i hope the worst is over now.. now i am damn sure nothing can go wrong more than this.. :D.. .

Federer A Quest For perfection...

Yes.. he is back with a bang.Many morons wrote him off when he lost in Montreal Masters but just one week after the montreal defeat the newspapers were again filled up with the routine news " Federer Hammers Blake to win Cincinnati Masters " and federer again showed that he is once again going to be a tough nut to crack in the concluding grandslam of year The US Open. when the last sunday when all news sites and papers were full of saga of familier fedex wins surprisingly the best article on federer (according to me :D) had nothing much to talk about tennis or his blistering forehands or blazing backhand cross court winners that he hits at will, but it had to do about the kind of person federer is and what issues and fears surround the king.It was composed of some excerpts from the book " Roger Federer The Quest For perfection" which i can't wait to read :) so i'll put the extracts right away and hope u'll love it.

If you believe Roger Federer, his pursuit of Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles happened almost by accident.

This was not a kid who grew up dreaming of tennis stardom: Fascinated by basketball, Federer says, he decorated his bedroom with posters of Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal.

If you believe Federer, he is not "too obsessed" with getting the better of Rafael Nadal, no matter what it takes. Federer did, after all, give his on-court nemesis a ride on a private jet from last week's tournament in Montreal to this week's tournament here after learning that Nadal was having trouble finding a suitable commercial flight.

Yep, there they were, miles above the earth, Roger and Rafa, chatting with their girlfriends over a sushi lunch, like any pair of wealthy pals. Would McEnroe have done that for Connors?

If you believe Federer, he was an overly competitive, emotional wreck as a teen - and that was just when he played chess with his father, knocking pieces off the board with a swipe of his hand after losing. He took tennis setbacks hard back then, too, he says, smashing rackets and crying inconsolably after defeats.

Eventually, in his early 20s, Federer says, he learned to control such feelings, part of a general maturation that led to his steady on-court demeanor; tears shed nowadays are of the joyous variety.

Self-doubt and awe

If you believe Federer, he lives with self-doubt, with the worry that he'll awake one morning and no longer have the skills that have put him at No 1 in the rankings for a record 185 consecutive weeks, that have led to a 93.5 winning percentage since 2004, that have earned him 11 Grand Slam titles heading into the August 27-September 9 US Open, that awe opponents and fans and, yes, even Federer himself.

"I surprise myself, almost every day," he said during an interview this week.

"The shots I come up with. And if I win, you know, I'm surprised I won. And if I won, I'm surprised I won that easily, sometimes, you know. I win a tough match, and I can't believe the way I got out of it. So, yeah, I get surprised over and over again."

Yet there's that gnawing sense it all could slip away, a feeling that rushes over him from time to time, particularly in the restless hours preceding a big match played at night.

It's why he says he's always looking to improve, why he can't seem to settle on a coach and, indeed, is currently without one.

"I have this worry that I'm not going to play well.... That the day comes where I don't know how to hit a forehand anymore, you know? That I'm blank," Federer said, holding his palms up for emphasis. "That I come on the court and I can't do it."

Implausible as that might sound, you certainly want to believe Federer, and believe in Federer - believe that he's genuine.

"I have heard of stories of people getting sometimes money offered for losing a match and stuff. A lot of money," Federer said. "Nowadays, sports has some funny things going on. Maybe it's just a bad period."

Loved by all

Everyone you speak to in the world of tennis has nothing but positive things to say about Federer.

"He's everything you would want and expect a decent person to be, and yet he's been able to make a lie of the truism that good guys finish second, because, in this case, he's a good guy that comes first all the time," ATP executive chairman Etienne de Villiers said in a telephone interview.

He and Federer haven't always seen eye-to-eye on tour issues such as instant replay. Still, de Villiers summed up his sentiments this way: "He's the kind of guy that every mother would like their daughter to marry."

Said Vince Spadea, a former top 20 player: "Roger's a tremendous gentleman, very cordial. He's not too big for what he's accomplished; it hasn't gotten to him."

In the players' lounge and outside the locker room, Federer draws smiles, handshakes and greetings from past and future opponents, players whose careers might have been oh-so-different had a certain someone born in Basel, Switzerland, in August 1981, stuck to basketball. Or soccer, Federer's other early love.

Take Andy Roddick, the last player other than Federer to win the US Open, in 2003. The last player other than Federer to finish a year ranked No 1, also in 2003. Someone who has lost three Grand Slam finals, all to Federer. Someone who is 1-13 against Federer.

"I have loads of respect for him, as a person as well," Roddick said after their 2005 Wimbledon title match. "I've told him before: 'I'd love to hate you, but you're really nice."'

Worthy heir

Bjorn Borg said that if someone had to match his modern mark of five consecutive Wimbledon titles, he was pleased for it to be Federer. Sampras, too, considers Federer a worthy heir.

"Before, I felt under pressure when people were saying, 'He's going to break Sampras' record,' and I was only at five or six," Federer said. "Now I feel like it's closer."

He also hopes to play another five years, at least, adding perhaps a major title per season.

If there's a knock on Federer, it's that he's, well, boring. He doesn't berate chair umpires. Or toss rackets. Or get into fights with paparazzi. It's a notion Federer called "totally unfair."

"People are intrigued with crazy things, you know, in this day and age, especially with reality TV shows and stuff. I see where they are coming from, but ... I still believe that good manners and politeness is the better way to go," he said.

"And if that's boring, then I'm sorry for the people who say that it is boring."

Arlen Kantarian, the US Tennis Association's chief executive of pro tennis, thinks any criticism of being "boring" is more than overwhelmed by Federer's "sense of dignity and style and class."

"He is, I think, also one of those players that we're going to tell our grandchildren about 20 years from now," he said. "We saw Roger Federer play.' That's how significant to the game he has - and will - become."



Well now i hope u'll find a million reasons that why he is loved world over and why u should feel proud to be among a huge lot that loves Federer... :)

Best Of Luck For US Open 2007.. federer , win it and i'll write an article for u shunning the critics ( If any of them left) :) :)...

Dragon Getting Red!!!!


This is one more story i followed during my summer vacations.well many think that china is on road to whooping development that it will surely surpass Uncle Sam within ten years or sooner with soaring growth rates per quarter.This has indeed raised many eyebrows of the economists worldwide . The auguries of overheating have been evident from past two years but chinese officials as always keep denying the facts like an obtuse minded herd of morons.The china is set to become the biggest emitter of green house gases within next two years the sky in beijing still looks yellow with sulphur di oxide.

Continuing on its trend of china's second quarter growth rate was astonishingly high at 11.1% following 10% rate in first quarter of the year. the chinese economists are very felicitous about these figures but they seem to ignore the basic symptoms of overheating wen they started a year ago when their stock indices came crashing down by 1% and chinas main share index closed at 4.5% lower amid interest concerns and the famous 9% slump in Shanghai stock exchange shook the markets world over. The indication of shooting inflation can be seen in the fact that the food prices in china during the month of june rose up by 10% most of which was a low quality nutrition and so as a result the drug prices soared up by 3.1% .( Source BBC)

The basis of chinese economy has been a simple rule " Produce more, sell more, quality may go down the drain" thats y chinese goods keep flooding the markets world over and we all know what is their reliability and the chinese people seem to getting taste of their medicine because of such a large sized economy the regulatory authorities are always having a tough time in maintaining the standards and the problem is that if the authorities shut one or more industries they just come up again with different names and thus spreading like a weed.The recent hype over chinese toys only aggravates the grave situation when all the developed countries decided to say no to chinese toys due to lead paint on them and so the ships were mere a part of water traffic jam on US ports and the recent cases of money laundering are not helping china either. Well these are clear cut indications of what the real picture and still chinese national bureau of statistics say "We will change the pattern of economic growth ".

Lol what a big joke........ so next time u see any article regarding china's whooping growth just think what all goes into that high rate :) ....
