Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....

"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India who would make you starve, if you don't.'"

100 meters in 22.02 seconds

A Japanese man broke the record by completing 100 meters in 22.02 seconds, now you might wonder that I am foxing you as the actual record stands at approx. 9 seconds. I am talking about the age group 95 - 99. Amazing isn't it. This is too good to be true, hats off young man!

Srinidhi - Missing you

It's been three weeks since we spoke to each other :-(.

I am the most unfortunate

F1asco

Sunday's F1 race at US was a failure. Though I was thrilled to see Narain finishing fourth but I never wanted all those fourteen cars to leave the pit lane before the start. I personally think that six of the drivers who were allowed to race in Bridgestone tyres should have left the field but they thought otherwise. The driver’s championship and constructor's championship overwhelmed their sportsman spirit. It was no fun watching six instead of twenty cars. It was a cake walk for Ferrari who was taking nearly twenty seconds for a pit stop as against eight in normal circumstances. Even hardened Ferrari fans like me didn't like what happened there.

Was the race necessary? It was like playing a cricket game with seven players just for the heck of playing it. In this chaos NK managed to score five points, a bright side of the store perhaps.
