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. It seemed as if his magic tennis racquet won him all games..number one slot seemed to have stuck to him. 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

Lets walk home...

She rose from her bed with a jolt, sweating,panting for breath..she turned on the bed lamp. 3:15am. She reaches for the water bottle placed next to the bed lamp, drinks it..sweating. It was a cold night. She gets down her bed and walks in the dim light of the room. Looks out of her window, the grey sky had many stars..but it was scary.. 'one day I'll be there..ZOOM!! I'll be a rocket scientist' she was searching for the moon, it hid behind the thick blankets of clouds..' lets walk home'..mayn it was the scariest nightmare..a big wave, big enough to drown her. It seemed like the night was trying to tell her something. But she had to get back to work next day so heads to her bed. Just as she turned off her bed lamp she heard a beep. It was a message on her mobile. She wanted to sleep but the night was strange. She reaches for her mobile. ..Sam drowned today evening. Doctors tried hard..but God had other plans, he needed him. We were handed the body an hour back. F

My friend

You stood by me when i needed you the most, You were my solace in bad times. Lent me your hand without a thought, Always there for me to rest my tired eyes on your lap. You are like a dream- close to me when lost.. ..and lost when i open my eyes. Now... only your memories linger in the breeze.. your smile twinkles across the sky. You are far from me, but.. your every word is in my heart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is dedicated to a very dear friend, no longer in person owing to our misfortunes, but will always continue to dwell deep within our hearts as an indelible impression of congenial companionship and vivacious spirits.
