In a class of his own.

Saw him, saw her,
there isnt quite anyone like Federer.

What does it take to beat Federer?

Ivanisevic's serve, Edberg's serve and volley, Courier's forehand, Agassi's return, Hewitt's spirit, Sampras's backhand down the line shots and the line umpires and the chair umpire on your side.

This unassuming guy has changed the complexion and meaning of a tournament. And the best part is each one of his opponents likes him. That's rare.

Way to go Federer!!!!

Wanted more hours in a day.

Pregnant wife, school going kid, project deadlines...... 16 hours of one's time, in a day.

Pregnant wife, school going kid, project deadlines, US Open, Ashes series ..... 24 hours of one's time, in a day.


Pregnant wife, school going kid, project deadlines, US Open, Ashes series, India involved in a cricket series ...... 48 hours of one's time, in a day.

All of that and understanding an obfuscated algorithm written in a more obfuscated language by a professor in MIT....... timeless and priceless.


For everything else there is mastercard.


Thanks everyone :) I am back... hopefully.
