Year:2001,And the Whole of Flushing Meadows bowed to a swiss.He had just won his first grandslam,losing a solitary set on his way to glory.The spectators knew that they were watching someone special,someone who could go on to become great.But little did they know that this guy was going to redefine greatness,But little did the world know that they were witnessing the birth of a STAR.Loosely defined word,but gains a multitude of meaning when referred to this great tennis ICON.No price for guessing!!,the name of this extraordinary swiss maestro,one Mr Roger Federer.
Switzerland represents beauty and style,and roger federer is itz perfect ambassador personifying the calmness of the alps,and the tenacity of the frequenting ice storms,all blended in a perfectly synchronized package.Federer represents all that is good about the sport,in fact he is the perfect ambassador for tennis.At times he brandished his racquet like a sword,while at times his strokes had the perfection only an artist could achieve.Pistol Pete had his serve,Becker had his brute strength,but Federer has his style.In my mind,he is the greatest ever,whether he breaks sampras's record or not.Stastics can speak,but it can never form the bigger picture.It can never describe the perfection of his backhand,the accuracy of his forehand,his Genius.It can never speak for his conduct on and off the field.My words do not do justice to his genius.but all i can say is, federer is the greatest player to grace a tennis court,and will remain so.

ur most wonderful piece of work yet da!!!
keep up d gud work....
but its really exciting ..right!!
Life is full of adventures it depends either we feel it really new or we accept it as a part of life. The same situation is right in BIHAR on the route to HAJIPUR from PATNA. If u are standing on the road side, from a distant you would recognize that bus...approaching to u in a ZIG ZAG manner. U ask anybody from BIHAR, whenever they xperience some rough driving...the first thing they will comment is..."its just like a PATNA HAJIPUR ring service bus". In route comes the Gnadhi Setu Overbridge(former Asia's longest bridge, now China) where its like a matter of pride for the bus driver's at the stake of passenger's life. At 120-130 kmph speed it would pass by u like a rocket...such is the excitement!
