Happy Birth Day Rafa
23 years ago, in the beautiful Island of Mallorca, a cute baby boy named Rafa Nadal arrived in this world as a precious little gift to his family…
Today, 8 years after becoming a professional tennis player, ‘Nadalek’ (as he’s famously called by his friends) has become an inspiration to millions of people around the world, who not only follow him for his incredible talent but also admire him and respect him for the simple fact that they see in him, their hopes and dreams.
From the bottom of our hearts, we’d like to thank you Rafa…For your kind heart, your respect towards others, your perseverance, your honesty, your strength, your mentality, your character, your attitude towards life, but on top of everything, we’d like to thank you for the millions of times you’ve filled our lives with joy and beautiful memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Happy B-day!! We wish you all the best for today and always…. You deserve it all the way!

Long live Rafa
03 June is the birthday for the 'King of clay' Rafael Nadal as he is turning 23 tomorrow. He accomplished some great things in last one year (2008-09). He accumulated one more French Open in 2008 and went on to an epic Wimbledon final win to acquire Wimbledon title. Then he conquered Roger as No.1 spot in ATP and then won the Olympics gold medal.
2009, he started the season with a bang – winning Australian open title for the first time and then grabbed 3 masters title in Indian wells, Monte Carlo and Rome; also he comfortably defended the Barcelona open title. And then one of the huge shock of his lifetime, he knocked out of French open '09 in the fourth round. He accepted the defeat graciously and preparing for the Wimbledon, this could be huge task for him to defend the crown. My best wishes to him for long live and to produce some awesome tennis in coming days.

Does RG, a graveyard of champions?
We are in second week of the French open; already most of the former grand slams champions were sent home packing. Only Roger Federer from Men's singles and Serena Williams are hanging around till fourth round. Nadals, Novaks, Safins, Hewitts, Roddicks catched the early flight from men's section. And in the women's side the defending champion Ana Ivanovic, Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams were sent home.
After watching the tournament till fourth round, one could imagine does Roland Garros turning out to be a graveyard of champions? You have to agree to an extend, because most players arrived at the tournament after a tight packed hard court and relatively short clay court season. Already, Rafa and some other players complained about the long schedule of hard court season which makes the players very tired soon.
Do ATP & WTA reconsider the tournament schedule and will they give enough break in-between tournaments?

Napping at work
Siesta – ruling me nowadays; though my lunch is limited to a bowl of rice, I have struggled to come out of the midday nap today. I can barely keep my eyes open. There were no concerns with my tasks as I could carry on as usual and more importantly, no one around me seems to be bothered about.
When I browse through net, this is what I got about this midday napping:
"We all have a biological clock, located in our brain, whose function is to alert us throughout the day. Research has enlightened us to the fact that there is a natural dip in the alerting power of the clock. This dip occurs in the mid-afternoon. Therefore, an afternoon nap or "siesta" will increase our overall alertness if we are not quite getting all the sleep we need in the evening."
On the other hand, physiologists support snoozing while work:
…Sleeping on the job used to be grounds for dismissal. But now, years after Cornell University psychologist James Maas coined the term "power nap," companies are beginning to embrace the practice. Today, Nike (NKE ) and Deloitte Consulting are among those that encourage employees to add a midday snooze to their to-do lists. Sleep scientist Sara Mednick applauds this trend. Mednick, a researcher at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego and author of the new book Take a Nap! Change Your Life (Workman Publishing), says napping can enhance productivity. Source
I found one more article The cost of sleeping on the job from cnn
There are number of books on Art of napping at work; what I can do with this new information about napping?
Will our companies really make time for this? Is there any formal support and policies around this?
You can add as many questions to the heap, but the response will be NO without any doubt!

Overwhelming blues
The probability of mine struck into blues seemingly increasing month-by-month; when I assess the reason, it won't be quite strange to realize the fact that due to susceptible financial commitments, mundane tasks, when personal favourites (in sports) kicked out of the key tournaments and I keep on add more facts to the list. But right now, the reason is void… alas the system got struck and awaits much needed break.
To me blues seems to be a never ending game like Indian politics; But the proportion of which growing is certainly unacceptable - But how to get rid of this eternally? Does anyone succeed this before? Need to break the shackles desperately, because tranquil sleeping gone for a toss for last couple of weeks.
I found very tough to move from this phase where level of reasoning is dried up and possibility of learning is very lean. On the whole, I am comfortably with the blues right now… and its starts to overwhelm.
Meet you in next post with fresh frame of mind

Where is my Rafa?
One of the biggest shocks of this year: "Rafa knocked out of Roland Garros in the fourth round". Obviously last Sunday was the black day for all Rafa fans. I just can't control my emotions and tears to see Rafa losing which puts history book undisturbed. He fought, fought, fought and perished and admitted graciously that he didn’t play his best tennis. Win and loses are part and parcel of sports said my mind but my heart tends to unaccept this fact. I love to watch Rafa winning every point he plays, but when he lost 3 sets in a single match that too in clay where he said to be invincible! I just can't believe and it will take time for me to come out of this shock.
"I must accept my defeats with the same level of calm that I accept my victories" – Rafa, what could we expect from a 22 year old lad who accept the defeat graciously. I could see a great fighter and a matured human in him that made him as a great inspiration to me.
Moving forward, I hope him to come back strong and produce some amazing tennis to defend his Wimbledon title. Rafa, Irrespective of your win-lose record, I am with you.
Vamos Rafa - you can do it again because you are "Rafael Nadal" and for you impossible is nothing.

Rafa in Roland Garros: Invincible or Vulnerable?
Why invincible?
Though there is no point discussing his skills, his ability and his dominance over clay we can just blindly come to the conclusion that he is the one who will own Roland Garros (henceforth RG) this year also. But when we analyse critically, we can also prove the same logically. Below factors supporting the fact:
1. Never lost in RG
2. Never stretched match to five set in Roland Garros
3. Has the win-loss record of 150-5 since 2005
4. Has the perfect record of 45-0 best of five set encounters in clay
5. Mental toughness, never give up attitude.
6. Focus on the point rather than the set\match\championship
7. Supreme physical fitness
Why vulnerable?
1. Only vulnerable factor is due to long matches he will get tired and run out of gas.
Given these entire scenario, after all in sports no one can judge what will happen in next minute. Odds are pointing to the King of clay to win his 5th consecutive RG but only King of Kings (God) will know the result & he reveal the result on June 7.Lets wait and watch this artist at work.
Vamos Rafa…
UEFA Champions league final: Image tells the story
After survived the initial threat for 10 minutes from Christiano Ronaldo, FC Barcelona throttled and outlast the Manchester United. Christiana Ronaldo gave United a great start. It looks like United will score at any moment, but the momentum changed once Samuel Eto 'o, whose tenth minute goal put the United on chasing and the United continuous attempt on disturbing the Barca's rhythm was failed. Guardiola executed a great strategy by playing Messi lower in the middle; thereby putting more pressure on United's defence.
A superb pass from Xavi to Messi resulted in 2-0 on 80th minute. 5ft 7inch Argentine completed the goal with miraculous header to give United a knock out punch. Xavi and Andres Iniesta displayed high quality midfield chemistry with some incisive passing and the movement. It seems Sir Alex Ferguson's side is clueless in the middle - unable to play the ball to the box. Arguably Xavi earned man-of-the-match for his splendid performance.
This was Barca's 3rd Champions league victory, congratulations to them.

Oh Maria
What a way to comeback by former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova; she battled out to win the French Open 2nd round encounter with her Russian mate Nadia Petrova in 3 sets 6-2, 6-1, 8-6 and eventually advanced through to 3rd round. Arguably, this match is best of the tournament in women's draw in terms of quality.
Maria is featuring in French open after a long lay off period of 10 months due to shoulder injury. Her last match before injury was Wimbledon 2nd round. Definitely this victory will give her enough confidence to go forward to the high level. Wish her all the best to go and win another slam.

Few 'Bananas' to see
Rafa has flurry of shots in his arsenal;often he will excite the crowd with some amazing shots.Recently Rafa has played the tennis latest innovation called 'Banana shot'... have a look:
My 11
We had seen some amazing performance from some of the individuals from each team in the IPL II. Herewith I am presenting the dream 11 in the context of IPL 2009. I am stick with the combination of 7 Indian players + 4 foreign players. Here we go…
1. Mathew Hayden – Gave solid start for CSK and orange cap holder of the tournament. He can give a great start and upset any plans of the opposite side.
2. Adam Gilchrist (Capt. & WK) – His age is 37, but behind the stumps he is just 19 years old. He will fit into world XI of all era. He is a perfect opening patner for Haydos as both of them played for Aus and devastated the opponents for many years. Surely this combo is a scary one for any opposite side.
3. Suresh Raina – This lad is a great No. 3 player and Dhoni found an off spinner in him, which proved very handy in some crunch situations.
4. AB De Villiers – He is a top 5 run getters in this tournament, with his reliable batting performance and great fielding skills (leading catch taker with 13 scalp) he won the race for No. 4 by passing JP Duminy & T. Dilshan
5. Yuvraj Singh – Whole world knows about his batting skills, but he surprised everyone with couple of hat-tricks. So, he is a leading all-rounder in our XI.
6. Rohit Sharma – This IPL is a limelight to this elegant batsman. He proved himself with great batting, fielding and more importantly in bowling; who will forget his match winning bowling performance against Mumbai Indians. One of the great finishers we found in this version.
7. Irfan Pathan – He is in top 5 wicket takers of the tournament and also he will be handy with his bat. He is a clean striker of the ball and can clear the boundaries with ease.
8. Pragyan Ojha – What a bowler he is turning out to be, he is already found his place in India T20 team. Took wickets in crucial junctures to place his team (DC) in winning ways.
9. Anil Kumble – Great bowler India have ever produced; with his vast experience, he will do magic for you in any given moment. Nobody can forget his match winning bowling performance against DC in the final, which gave him man-of-the-match of the final.
10. Lasith Malinga – No one can bowl a perfect Yorker than this man. I would rate this bowler next to Wasim Akram in troubling any batsmen in the world.
11. RP Singh – Purple cap holder of the tournament. We can rely on his death bowling skills. With his penetrating line and length he is a good bowler to have in any side. As T20 world cup is on the way, he can fill the spot of strike bowler incase Zakeer is not recover from injury.
12. Asish Nehra / Yusuf Pathan - Though Yusuf is not in his best of touch in this tournament. He can be devastating, in his day. And these either of this two will be my twelfth man.
Note: When I turn into news channels and sport channels, everyone sit and talk about their dream 11. I too thought and tried here to pick my 11 based on some limited cricket knowledge I posses.

History beckons
Clay court season is back and Rafael Nadal, the King of clay was on a roll already winning 3 titles (Monte Carlo, Barcelona, and Rome Masters) out of four tournaments eventually lost the Madrid masters to his all time rival Roger Federer. He has already made clear inroads for record 5th French open title in consecutive years, winning his first round match against Daniel in straight sets 7-5, 6-4, 6-3.
Rafa created history by winning first round match thereby holding a perfect 29-0 record in Roland Garros only the first men to do so since Chris Evert. He is popular figure in Paris and started the tournament as clear favourite. Already Rafa sharing the legacy with legendary Bjorn Borg of winning French Open for four consecutive years; If he manages to win the title in 2009 means, he would became the first men ever in the tennis history to win French Open for five consecutive years (2005-2009)., we will know that by June 7.
Vamos Rafa

A new experience
Indeed it was a new experience to interview couple of personnel to recruit them as a part of our project team. I had vast experience of attending technical interviews and often enjoyed to face the challenge of answering tricky questions. In fact this one was a new to me as it is a vice-versa. To be candid, I was bit nervous to hear that I am going to take technical interview for those who are having more professional experience than me; I had geared up mentally and gone through a few technical materials and noted down some key questions to put.
And finally the moment came and lasted for over two hours; when I looking back to that, I was bit surprised to imagine that jiffy? I have to feel sorry for the person who is in receiving end, because I unleashed flurry of questions and put him under embarrassment more often; can't compromise given that it’s a job given to me.
