No one , expect the Gods & the Prophets , know the future; Or so they say...
But a newspaper( the Economic Times) seemed to know everything 24 hours in advance....

Being the Orientals!!!
The whole world is on a whirlpool - one into which everyone is willing to take the plunge - the one step one would never regret about. It had began many years ago, the results somewhat slightly showing up now. I'm talking about the rise of the Orients - the land of India and China;the land of opportunity.

The Mother of all Mathces
p.s. : This post will go into detail the rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal...I hope all tennis lovers will enjoy it
8th July , 2007. This day will go down in history as the day when Roger Federer equalled Bjorn Borg's record of five consecutive Wimbledon victories , record which has stayed for 27 years.
ROGER FEDERER. The name itself spells fear in many. He has won 11 grand slams, featured in 9 back-to-back grand slam finals (a record in itself). No one, not even Federer himself would have dreamt of this day to become a reality when he began his career in 1998. Though he turned pro in 98, the world saw him only in 2001 when he reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. Since then Fed Ex has never looked back. Winning back to back grand slams in an era when the traditional serve-and-volley players are a history.
He is a brand now. The ultimate success machine, winning almost 88% of all the matches he has played. He has got the reputation of not letting a set go off his reach, let alone the match. He has got a superb

VIEWER'S CHOICE !!
This post is about the spoilt, prurient mind of the people...
The other day i had gone to the airport to receive my mom & grandpa who were coming from Raipur... Having a special pass with him that would allow him to go right upto the doors where the passengers come into the airport arrival terminals, my dad had went in to escort my mom & grandpa, and I was left waiting in the waiting room... So i bought a magazine to while away time...
As I was going through the pages of the magazine, I saw a young girl trying to portray a sexy side to her otherwise ugly shape by wearing a low neckline & skirt which was well over the knee revealing a significant part of her thigh which would put a bikini clad lady to shame... Then I saw the other people who were in the waiting area... They were so very engrossed in staring at her thigh that they were unaware of everything else that was going on around them... Even the policemen who are supposed to guard the airport against all threats seemed to forget their duty & instead chose to look at the girl... And then there was another guy who time & again looked at her from top to bottom as if he had a X-ray vision glasses on... Even people old enough to qualify to be her great-grandfather found it hard to take their eyes off her...
I dunno who to blame... The girl or the on-lookers.. She was behaving as if she were a celebrity oblivious of her surroundings... Well you could say that I too belong to the same category
Why is it that such a scene attracts your eyes?? What if the girl was your sister?? I wont be wrong if you would say that you wouldn't allow her to wear such a masterpiece...

SKETCH
Was at my cousin's place this weekend...
They were on a sketching spree.. So i also got motivated to sketch something...
Its from a calender....
Completed it after 5 and a half long hours ( though didnt sit that long at a strech...did installments...) But then i think it was worth the try....
DONT COMPLAIN I'M BEING MODEST.... THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SKETCHES I HAVE EVER MADE

The view from HEAVEN
Fourth sem was now over...Time to go home..Was to fly home...This was not the 1st time i was flying..But I had planned to enjoy it like a first timer...
At check-in, I asked the lady behind the desk to give me a window seat..Had it..
Now was the time to board the flight..I got the seat alright, but to my dismay it was right over the wing which meant I would have to strain my neck everytime I wanted to look out...Phew!!
The plane took off from Goa. I wanted it to go over my campus coz the view from above is said to be enthralling.. Good God..It never happened...Outbound flights take a different turn..Doesnt matter...And more was in store for me..
Within a few minutes i was flying over Vasco...I could clearly see the bus stop where we have to catch the bus to our campus...Then came Panjim...I could see almost everything from high up...INOX, Miramar Beach, the ferries across the river, Goa assembly house..They came & flew by not even letting the viewer grasp whats coming its way..

The road to "INSANEdom"??
"Great".."Yes".."Oh no".."shit".."what the hell!!" "Lets have fun"...."Arey kya masti yaar??Sab masti wasti chod de.Its all time waste"..
Look at the above lines. What a contrast!! Its hard 2 comprehend that all these can go 2gether..And if at all they do go -- then who would think of it??--only a mad, an insane fellow.. But in fact , at least since the last few days, these things hv been going on in my mind?? Asking myself a question - Have i gone mad??
I just donno whats been happening to me?? U wanna njoy the life but the very next minute it seems all the more boring..U define definite values for urself but then u seem 2 be warding them off like dust on ur table..I just donno what i want.. I go in for the glittering material thinking it 2 be DIAMOND only 2 discover later that its only a piece of broken glass..
Gone are the days when i used to be stable, firm in every decision i took.. NOW!! OH GOD SAVE ME PLS.. I just cant set my priorities right .. Am a confused lot..
What do you do when you have nothing to do?? Time pass!! Play games , Chat with people , Watch movies , Go for a round with friends?? Well!! What do i do ?? -- Sit idle..Movies?? Naah..They are so boring..A waste of time..Sleep?? Naah..I dont sleep more than 7 hours a day.. Games?? Well!! Occasionally..But they too are a waste of time... I just simply dont do anything.. SIT IDLE, LOST IN DREAMLAND.. Now..Isnt that madness??
Well!! Of course thats all madness.. But i love what I am & I dont give a damn whatever happens..

Too many things in too "LITTLE TIME"
In my only class of the day-Principles of Management,better known as POM ( had to attend it coz i was to get my paper) i got the "enlightment" of my life...
There was this presentation by Himanshu & group( which sadly i too have to make as part of the curriculum) on a company ( i dont remember whats its name)...Obviously bored, i tried to find ways to kill time..Having forgot my mobile in a rush to go to class, i had nothing to be engaged with..Then i spotted an ant on my table..I started playing with it...I saw it running for its life as i kept chasing it...Then i remembered that i too am a living being..God forbid it ever happens but if at all at any point of time i too might to run for my life...I placed myself in the ant's place...Oh!! What a horrible experience it might have been for it!!...I let it go that very moment...Even a small ant can change one's mind...Its like a a storm caused by a butterfly flapping its wings...This is "Butterfly Effect"...
Meanwhile the presentation was going on, on its monotonous path which to me seemed like a slow melancholy note...Then came Hitesh Bora to conclude it...I knew it from the very beginning that he will do something different...And he stood up to my expectations...More the moment he spoke,everybody laughed at him & the more we laughed the harder he made us laugh...In fact that is a talent in itself 'making others laugh at oneself'...Very few can even tolerate the thought of being the laughing stock...He turned the bunch of dosing eyes into a lively one...He stood on the dias with his hands on the table like Abhisekh Bachchan did in the movie "Guru" with his baritone engulfing the entire stadium,only this was a classroom...
The presentation was over & it was time for paper distribution...The POM paper had two parts-Part A being objective & the other subjective...The next thing that happened was a first in my life...In Part A i got 21 but in B i had got a "big fat zero"...It reminded me of my mom scolding me during my school days that if i dont study i'll get a zero in the exam...This time it was in reality but the good ( or rather bad) part of it was that there was no one to scold me...
I am writing this even as i have an MT exam tomorrow..Now let me study or else "history" will repeat itself
