FED Ex makes ROD "eek" !!!!
Seldom had a beaten player had less to apologize for than Andy Roddick.
Slumped in his chair after the match, the crowd chanted "Roddick, Roddick, Roddick" until he rose to acknowledge them. While most of the words after Sunday’s epic final at Wimbledon rushed to praise Roger Federer after his history-making victory, the image that took hold came from the other side: the pain etched face of Andy Roddick.
Without the American the grand finale wouldn’t have been possible. With Rafael Nadal pulling out due to injury the record Slam was almost into Fed’s kitty but Roddick had other ideas. He knew what he was up against….He knew everyone had come to watch Federer make history, but he stuck at it until the greatness of the FedEx and a hip flexor injury broke him down.
As much as we love to revel with the victor, none of us knows what it’s like to win 15 Grand Slams but all of us do know what it’s like to have a dream crushed. So the celebration is nice…..but the pain, which even Roddick could not hide with his wisecrack humor, did hit home.
Well done Andy!!!

It's time to be DILLOGICAL!
So, finally am here! Enough of defect logging, now it’s time for some blogging!!!
Who am I??? A big question..... Well let me try an answer it.
I am an "ardinary" guy with a few "extra ardinary" actions, like leaving a settled IT job for some crazy media stuff in this recessive market.
My life's has been an adventure.... and a new one beckons me!!!!!
How???? Here it goes...
A wannabe cricketer lands up doing science, sat for JEE, garnered a rank as big as a mobile number, somehow scraped through to chemical engineering.....worked his way to an IT job and now is up for a stint in television!
Bizarre...........isn't it?
I often wondered the number of times my life’s changed its course that it can well match up to Hwang Ho!
But hey guys it has been fun..... And I hope it continues to be!!!!!
According to Chatterjee Kaku "chele ta puro pagol...totaaal fooolish r eelogical hoye geche!"
But I say “Na Kaka, pagol noi........It's time to be DILLOGICAL!"
