Michael Schumacher: From his first race to his last ferrari....


No matter what happens this sunday, Micheal Schumacher will go down as the greatest driver ever to hit the formula one circuit and this posting is just my way of paying tribute to mark the end of the most successful career in formula one history.
I may not understand the complex technology involver behind the wheels, but one thing is for sure beyond a shadow of doubt that the most important component in a racing car is the man behind the wheels and i guess that made all the diference in winning and loosing.
Schumachers pure speed, his risk taking ability, his supreme confidence, his love for the job and his high level of commitment has helped him to achieve those seemingly impossible heights which his fellow drivers can only dream off.
After winning 91 of his 248 grand prix and claiming 68 pole positions and capturing five drivers title for ferrari and two for benetton..it has proved that Michael Schumacher is indeed a genius who knows his profession like no one else and has single handedly turned the sport inside out and upside down forever for good.
Many formula one drivers will come and go and who knows his record of 7 magical titles may be eclipsed but the writing is clear on the wall..that he is indeed one in a billion or let me put it this way..ONE IN A GENERATION....
His charisma, his flamboyance, and his contagious enthusiasm will surely be missed.
thanks Michael for all those spectacular sunday afternoons....

Plz don go.....

Test cricket's legendary bowler, Shane Warne retired from international competition after the Ashes 2006, thus marking the end of the most glamorous and controversial carrers in the sports glorious history. I think Shane Warne is the grestest cricketer ever (from the time i am watching and following cricket) and it was the perfect retirement party for the showman who made is debut against India way back in January 1992. To take 1000+ wickets in both the versions of the game is simply breathtaking and salute to your versatility, skills, hardwork, mental strength and flexibility. This once-in-life time champion will continue to inspire a generation of kids to take up the art of leg spin. Thanks Warne for giving us everything you could ever give and in the process entertaining millions worldwide and i was privileged enough to watch ur flippers, zooters, wrong uns with bated breath. i just wish u were an Indian !!!

What are you going to be ?

The society around us has defined leadership in millions of ways and even when you search for the definition of a leader, google comes up with this - a person who leads or commands a group or an organization and that's were the narrative fails, if you ask me. A true 'leader' is the one who strives to create an environment where people can express themselves fearlessly, a trait which is very rare in a corporate world and usually not associated with being a leader but then that's where the 'difference of opinion' arise.  We have always associated a leader with a larger than life image who is followed by everybody but in reality what we need is a person who can lift everybody around him and make them even more smarter, and bigger. He gets the desired results but at the same time makes his team/people even better than he found them. A leader will always look and protect his tribe. On the other hand, managers get a set of tasks done by their employees on a daily basi...

so close, no matter how far !

In your well lit bedroom One lazy afternoon U pressed your hips in to mine I ran my fingers through your hair A kiss escaped both of us A divine feeling enlightening us U held me close I held you more closer Will never let you go Is what I promised her The first kiss on your tender lips Put everything in motion And then what followed Will never be forgotten The touch, the kiss The feel, the bliss The temptation going to the peak Got my pulse racing and made me weak I lean in to you U lean in to me I Love the way u hold me The way your kiss sets me free I am afraid it’s over for now With a promise that it will come again tomorrow The thrills fill my empty soul Still craving for that touch and some more So thanking you for everything you gave me that afternoon God bless the bride and the groom
