When winning is a habit, a sudden failure is bound to shake your roots.. Few recover soon..but that is a rare phenomenon. Come new year, u become more pepped up..plan better..dream bigger..work harder to live your dreams..but when the dream shatters?? how long will it take for u to bounce back?? 8months!! When will u be lucky?? third time lucky!?! Long long ago..the game of tennis saw different players clinch the Grand Slam titles..but for the last few years barring the French Open Singles Title, there was only a single winner, the one man who ruled the grass courts - the name, Roger Federer. If the final tiffs were with Andy Roddick initially, then they shifted to the Spaniard, Rafael Nadal. Critics however didn't acknowledge his game to the slot that he held, for all these years.

Roland Garros was one ground this swiss maestro had to conquer. 2006 onwards there was a serious c

Testing the LHC by injecting the first protons into it on Wednesday..Is it the end of the World?? Does the effort of 5000scientists, engineers, technicians for two decades spell doom for the inhabitants of the earth?? The Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ), the mega machine, 100metres below ground, crafted to unveil the deepest mysteries of matter. LHC will accelerate sub-atomic particles to nearly the speed of light and smash them together, this aims to fill the gaps in our understanding of the cosmos. It may determine the outcome of novel theories about space-time : does another dimension - or dimensions - exist in parallel to our own?? Whizzed to within a millionth of a percent of the speed of light, the particles will be the first step in long-term experiment to smash sub-atomic components together, briefly generating temperatures 100,000 times hotter than the sun in a microscopic space. Analysts will then pore over the wreckage in the search for the fundamental particles. This would
