2 years and one day

Yippee!! It has been two years one day since I have been to Singapore. Thought of writing yesterday only but was too preoccupied with other stuff. These two years were bumpy in some way and smooth in some other way. A rough sketch of these two years. Lets roll back in time.

I just breezed through my masters. It was so quick that I hardly realised I was doing it. And more quicker was my job trails. I was just lucky enough to get my current job. If I wouldn't have got God knows what I would have been doing right now. And now 8 months into my current job and I like it. But really gets tough sometimes. Life is marching itself off in a carefully constructed and unspectacular measure.

And it has been two years since I have fallen ill. Kinda lull after a storm(read jaundice). I would have been little proud if I haven't visited a doctor during this time. Thanks to my sports related injuries, the survival of that pride became tough during the last half year. Multiple injuries but yours truly still going great guns. Actually I started loving to be fit. It makes me feel so good and refreshed. And my fitness conscience making me stick to my diet.

During these years my badminton skills has shot up. So are my swimming skills. Learnt tennis, and salsa and the hunger for more activities is always there.

Few things I like in Singapore:

1) I like everything to be organized and this place is surely more than that.

2) I never had the time and facilities to explore my extra-curricular interests before coming here. Not anymore.

On the other side of the coin this place surely kicks in the boredom. If not for my family I would have been bored to death. Actually my Engineering is to be blamed. Had hell of a time and now I miss my friends. This this the bumpiest part of all..Life would have been much better with few changes. It always is!!

For the 15th time.

One more Wimbledon passed by and the result, the same, Roger Federer claiming his 6^th title at the lush meadows with one difference. This time he had to sweat it out to claim back his lost prized possession thanks to some unbelievable tennis by A-Rod.

Keeping in mind the previous encounters between the two I wanted Andy to win the semis against Murray hoping that the finals would be a walk in the park for the Swiss to become an undisputed emperor in the game of tennis. Always felt that Roddick doesnt have a cat in hell's chance to lift a Grandslam. Not in Fed's era. But there was very little that matched to my thought.

Andy shots equally matched Roger's if not more. I must say my heart missed beats at the break points in the fifth set. And the fifth set was long enough to be a women’s entire match. All I can do is feel sorry for Andy for being a player who was on the winning side most of the game yet lost it.

He deserved the title for the remarkable change in his game. He conceded just one breakpoint and that was enough to wipe of his wimby dreams. Poor fellow, the shutterbugs didn't even give him time to get the grief out of him. Only thing that came to Fed’s rescue were his Aces. Boy, 50 aces in one match!! And the fact is he is no Karlovic.

Fed continues to prove again and again why he is the THE player. He is my all time champion. Inspired me to hold the racket and swing it. I can now play better than most of my mates if not best. He redefined tennis and success. Back to NO.1 spot. Hope he nevers bites the dust. Hail the Emperor. Vamos Federer...
