the shock of the year!!

No I an not talking about India’s dismal performance at the world cup…er…it isn’t much of a shock really…
Finally its proven he’s a mere mortal!!
The past few years have made be wonder if he is really that damn good or the others are that damn bad…well I am talking about Roger Federer the tennis wonder boy .Having lost just a handful of matches the past year, having threatened to break Vilas’s record more than once, having embarrassed nearly every player to play against him, having single-handedly made me lose interest in watching tennis and having made Andy Roddick look like an average school boy at the Australian open, its natural to wonder if he is mortal…
Reality check!!
He’s human after all. It’s perhaps the first time in the past few years that Federer has lost back-to-back tennis tournaments. Salute Canas and Rafa for making tennis interesting to watch!!

the great indian media debacle

You wake up late on Sunday morning after a hard night of partying…then u make yourself coffee get seated in a nice cozy chair with one hand holding the coffee mug and another on the newspaper, but then the jaws of laziness creep in and you settle in watching the news on television. Bless JM Br…er...Bless the man who invented the television! You switch on the television...change to the news channel and ---ah!!!!! They tell you how exquisitely Shakira shook her hips in Mumbai (not that i mind lol! but still...)and how Shah Rukh Kahn presented each of the contestants of KBC with cars…and then to your horror a small line measuring the size of a centipede “an earthquake measuring 7.1 Richter scale rocks Japan!!”…has the media lost its mind? Earlier a news channel conducted a “nation-wide” poll of a few thousand people to come to a conclusion that Big B is the Indian of the year…really!!??!!
Ofcourse it doesn’t hide the fact that the media has been instrumental in various issues of public interest. But where the gud old news gone is what I wanna know!!!

Hi there people!!

Sorry for the delay… you know with such mundane things like exams there is hardly time to type anything and two-finger typing doesn’t help either. Well now that the exams are done and dusted I hope to clean the cobwebs around me and start blogging again…
