These lines are not mine.They are written recently by one of my close friends. But I liked them very much, so posting them here.
Rafta Rafta guzarta hua har ek pal…
Kehta mujhse tu bhi mere sang sang chal.
Zindagi ek din inhi palon mein simat k reh jaegi…
Fir kyun nhi in palon ka sath mujhe.
Kehne ko to sath hi chalte hai-main aur meri zindagi…
Fir kyun nhi zindagi jeene ka ehsaas mujhe.

You are a hero, Andy!
I promised in my 1st blog that I would write in my 2nd blog about my beautiful trip to east, but there is something inside me which compels me to write before that about the spectacular final that happened last Sunday b/w Federer & Roddick.
A lot of stuff has already been written about Federer all over the world, about his charisma, about his record 15 grand slams & about his greatness............Federer truly is gr8( No second thoughts ab8 that)...........but this blog is about the phoenix, not the bird , the man- ANDY RODDICK!
After playing in Wimbledon Final in 2005, he almost vanished off the scene.At one point, he almost quit. But as destiny operates in its own way...the man who got inspired by watching the epic Wimbledon final between Nadal & Federer was playing the final the very next year at the center court of Wimbledon. He worked a lot on himself, lost almost 15 pounds in weight. With his will power & support of his girlfriend and now wife, Brooklyn Dekker, he bounced back .......& in a gr8 fashion.
He was written off by everyone.Nobody gave him an iota of a chance, but A-Rod change that all in just half an hour - he played the game of his life. After the first set only he had made many new fans and tilted the loyalties of many Federer fans towards his side. His first serves were unplayable.....It was a classic game of serve & volleys reminiscent of the olden era of Tennis.Bhuwan told me that the match would be over in one and a half hour.How could he had known that the final set itself would last for 90 minutes. His serve was not broken till the very last game, & when it was broken: A-Rod lost.
The true greatness of a man can be gauged at the time of his defeat. Roddick's post match conference says it all,He quipped "Sorry Pete, I tried to hold him off. & added " It was a pleasure playing in front of great champions like Pete, Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg and I still hope one day my name will be up on that list of Wimbledon Winners". Only a man with great character & spirit can manage such words of humor and strength at the time of defeat.
I don' t know when your name would be written on that list, Andy...but you surely have written your name on our minds.
You are a hero, Andy!

My "Debut" In Bloggin
Well, well, well!.......I've been thinking of blogging for a couple of yrs. now & finally it has "arrived" ( I myself don't remember how many blog ids I have taken :-)............I seriously hope this goes a long way :)
Hmmm.........Where do I start.........From the days when I used to teach students for NTSE (haan bhai.....yahan bhi haath aazmaaya hai humne-waise teaching kum aur gyaan jyaada deta tha :) , I have a misconception ab8 myself that I can write & give "sermons" on any topic that exists under the sun.
Soch raha hoon ki jab "gyaan" hi dena hai to kya na shuruat apni "core competency" se hi ki jaaye...............My core competency??? Off course khoob Khana- Peena & Traveling ............
So meri aage aane waali kuch blogs wd be dedicated to my good & not so good experiences in Food & Traveling.
Saath hi saath, soch raha hu "ek panth do kaaz" kiya jaaye ( Baniya hoon, har cheez ka optimisation karna mera param kartavya hai)...........Aajkal logon ke jaane ka season bana hua hai..........The latest to join the beeline is Monty.........
So I ve decided to write in my next blog ab8 our trip to Darjeeling, Gangtok & Kolkata ( Haan bhai.......Nilotpal bhi tha........uske baare me bhi likhunga)...............
So "Gaon waalo"......Keep watching this space!
