Relax, it's "Fed-Ex"

Opinions.. everybody seems to have them.. and none would end up on the same side..
Latesht to join the bloggers bandwagon.. heard its none other than our very own Bihar ke baadshah ..bole toh babuaa..humre Laaloo Prashaad Yadav ji.. jab saara desh (read Big B, Ace Khan, King Khan) is madhyam se aage badh raha hai ..hum kaahe ko peche rahe..

Having gone through different blogs lately, and going by the feedback from a few close friends.. my blog doesn't really make sense.. abrupt endings, autobiographical notes, pointless discussions and a meaning less name.. I just thought.. I SHOULD CONTINUE THE TREND..

Nadal has done it again.. for a 4th consecutive time.. the Fed-Ex looked a meek self of himself last Sunday..probably his worst defeat in years..with just a single ATP title this season and quite a few losses to Nadal, has Federer lost his steam? We ll know that once he lands on his favorite grass, come the 4th Monday of this month.. Wimbledon ll be an altogether different affair for the 12 time champion.Hes well on his way to become officially the best.How i wish Pistol Pete won a dozen more. :( For reasons, that cannot be expressed.. Sampras remains my all time best tennis role model.



The evolution of the now reticent Federer has been interesting.. he started off on the lines of his idol Stefan Edberg, a safe and steady approach, and in due course took to playing more aggressively a la his other icon Boris Becker. One thing that made a difference, as Federer explains in an interview.. he used to lose his temper more often than not during the early phase of his career (no, nowhere close to McEnroe) but today we see him maintain his calm demeanour and that he says is the reason for his crowns. Isn't that a good thing to learn !!

Will it be Wimbledon no. 6 for Fed-Ex or ll he cry again.. we ll have to wait & watch.. abhi ke liye..Congos to Rafa & the Serbian queen.. both surely would go a long way :)

School Chale Hum 1..

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked." ~ Bernard Meltzer

Your best buddies generally are the ones you have grown up with.. Langotiya Yaar..
mine happen to be from school and a few from the gullies that I used to stay in.
We had joy, we had fun & amazing seasons in the sun.. good old days of sly-less innocence.. lol.. certain transformations are hard to believe.. some out-spoken smarties are now silent spectators and vice-versa.

Thanks to the A.P. students' career development programmes** (solely constituting of the starry-eyed "ek din mera beta bhi..." parents) , even I joined the race of the "ideal" student totally brain washed with the preaching that anything lesser than an engineering/medicine seat isn't worth a life. Hence followed a grind of 2 years in "the Guinness Record holding" Kalashala of Sri Chaitanya.(ask Abhiram & Jimmy for apt descriptions).Finally I ended up in an engineering institute that promised to instill a sense of discipline & decorum into the students' heads.. so we had distinctly separate canteens, transport facility as well as seating arrangements for people not belonging to the same gender. I still wonder if the reason for comparatively less internal marks of some of my classmates was due to their proximity in just oral communication with the girls of our class.

Of course, like always, I had good times..made a friend out of each & every person I met in college, and had a very vibrant social life..all those feasts,traveling,biking,celebrity fests,paper presentations(still don't know how we*** pulled it off each time),anchoring,organizing the events & meets and one night stands with the books just before the exam,life was on a roll.. a few niggles here & there didn't matter much.. except for a couple of disturbing instances towards the end of the 4th year(that still haunt me).. my 4 years @ Gokaraju Rangaraju Institute of Engineering & Technology can be best summed up by the following quote..

"He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,
And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
