One year back

Have you ever wondered what you were doing exactly one year back? Well I guess you need good memory power to accomplish this task :). This Saturday I was sitting all alone in room and nothing to do, just browsing the net and suddenly this thought came by as what I was doing a year back. The next moment I was checking my mailboxes. I started checking all my older mails. I exactly reached the mails I received one year back and started reading them. Oh man those mails bought some good old memories. Thanks to GMail which made Delete button a history and provided virtually unlimited storage space. I guess I haven’t deleted a mail from past 3 years :). It was really fun reading all the old mails and this in turn helped me pass some of my free time.

Rafa all the way

Wimbledon-2008
Men’s final – Sun, 6 July 08
Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal

One of the greatest match in the tennis history and I am thankful to god that I was able to watch this match. On this weekend I was holidaying in Las Vegas and I saw the whole match on the big screen TV in the sports betting section of the casino. Initially I thought I was the only person following tennis in the casino but to my surprise around 100-200 people were watching the match.

I was cheering Nadal all the way, and when he committed the double fault (5-2) in the fourth set tie breaker and eventually lost it, I thought Federer would win the match. But Nadal held his nerve and won the match. At last Nadal was able to break the jinx and win a grand slam on grass.

I have booked US open men’s single final ticket and hope that these two great legends meet in the final. If that happens then one of my dreams will come true. Watching live two great legends play will be a life time memorable event.

Spain won the Euro cup this year after 44 years gap and now Rafa winning on the grass court. I guess this year belongs to Spain.

Go Rafa Go……….
