When the Rain God failed to impress “Law of Average”

The unthinkable occurred at Wimbledon and left world no.1 Novak Djokovic and the world at large speechless!! World number 41, Sam Querrey was leading 2 sets to love on Friday night before rain intervened.  

The match resumed on Saturday and just when Querrey was on verge of incrediable victory yet again Rain God visited Court no.1 of Wimbledon. 

It was a frustrating wait which finally ended on a big high!!   

It was Novak’s first loss at Majors since 2015 French Open final. 

Well, the Rain God tried its best to help Novak, but failed to impress “Law of Average!!!” 

If only he could have gone on to win this match and later the title, he would become first player to win a calendar year Grand Slam since 1969. 

Now the Question is -  Is 18 Grand Slam, a record breaking 8 Wimbledon title on the cards!!? ;-)) 

The game could have been unfair. But, don't be UNJUST!!!

I’m not much into celebrating club level football tournaments. But, that has never come in between while defending or praying for an international team or watching, following international player/(s). 

Very few are the players in sporting arena who capture your imagination like never before. 

You just don’t follow them you 'revere' them as a player. They have capacity to blow up your mind with their on-field skills and utmost humility off the field!! – Messi is one such a beautiful player – the beautiful game has witnessed!

Half the world today woke up to the shocker as the man announced his retirement.   

Yes, it was missed opportunity for Messi in the shootout, yes he along with his team must have lost fourth big final! 

May be pain of defeat in 3finals in 3years perhaps taking its toll on Lionel but, 29 is certainly not an age to retire….

In the heat of the moment one can make a call but, as the sun goes down, nerves settle in, one can and should reconsider such a decision!?   

After-all…. Legend can't give up just like that. They don't quit that easily. They keep fighting!!! 

It’s a loss not a Mess…

Don’t be unjust MESSI!

Udta Trust!!

Last week must have been Udta ride for makers Udta Punjab. 

From 89 to 13 cuts from Censor Board to Revising Committee to Bombay High Court to finally seeing a green signal to drug – themed Udta Punjab with just 1 cut was a victory short-lived!! 

Just two days before of this controversial film release someone leaked the censored copy online. 

Allegations and counter allegations have been doing the rounds… Some say it was CBFC who leaked the copy. While some suggest it could also have been member of a technical team from sponsor's side – wonder who was on a real high!! 

Egos were shattered and the wounded soul had to get even but, in first place was it all necessary right from 89 cuts?? 

Seeing pornography in state assembly is fine but, showing reality of a Drug addict state is uncalled-for – Excellent!!! 

Forget the constitutional rights of an individual but, leaking a censored copy just to get even is an absolute sabotage of trust!!! 

Maybe, the makers of Udta Punjab can come up with sequel Udta Trust!!! Period!!! :) !!

Don’t count the days… Make the days count!! - Ali

What a way to begin a sport and later to be considered as undisputed King of the ring!!! 

A 12 year old kid was fuming over a thief who stole his bicycle. He met a police officer and told he was going “knock out” the thief. The officer in return told the kid he better learn how to box first…. Well, Rest is a history!!! 

At 12 he began the training and just in 10 years at 22 Muhammad Ali won the maiden world heavyweight championship. 

His staggering lifetime record of 56wins and just 5 defeats is unmatched and remains only one to have won the world heavyweight championship three times!!! 

Ali was the best boxer, supreme athlete but beyond all the he gave millions of people hope. 

He had flair with words and some of his quotes would help men and women of generations to come, to uplift themselves when down and out!! 

One of my favorite all time quote of Ali is "Live everyday as it was your last, because someday you are going to be right!" 

Ali surely transcended the sport…  

The greatest now, resting in the greatest place. Rest in peace – Champion!!! 

Thought of Bride still a Bridesmaid!!

Before today RCB had been twice in finals but, couldn’t take team to finishing line. 

Today it was RCB’s classic chance to finally win their maiden IPL trophy at home and yet again they felt awfully short of winning!! 

It was a big score (208) to chase down but, till Gayle was on 22yards RCB looked in a different zone all together. He went ballistic right from the word go but, then came a moment which RCB would want to forget in hurry!! 

First went Gayle, then went Kholi, then AB’ D, then Watson one after another they came, tried and left dejected!!! 

The say; pressure is one which can get better of anyone and the ‘Institution of Batting’ which RCB has just faced the music!! 

It was a monumental effort from RCB’s battling lineup to reach 200 runs, but then history; it remembers the winners not the efforts!!

Now, for the next time but, make no mistake; the great horses of RCB are getting old by the day!! 

Can they ever be a Bride or will they always play a role of Bridesmaid?!! 

Commiseration RCB, Congrats SRH!! 

A love story of chase continues...

Ambitious, intimidating, dominating, win at all cost are few of the adjectives which would come to the mind when you see India’s new run machine called Virat Kohli on 22-yard!! 

He began in Australia in January, continued through the Asia Cup, then ICC World Twenty20, and now has light up IPL like never before.  

Alone in IPL 2016 he has scored 4 centuries, surpassed 900+ runs with still a few more games to go. 

It’s all about a man who has mesmerized everyone not just with his batting skills but, by his insane physical fitness on the ground and mental fitness to get team out of shackles when it has mattered the most!!!  

If seeing Virat bat first is poetic, then seeing his love story in chasing down big scores has been a fairy tale. 

RCB is just couple of games away from their maiden IPL victory and the Captain of the ship looks more than determined to make it count this time around!!   

GL RCB, GL Virat!!! 

Once a master finisher...Is he heading to a career finish?!!

Ambitious, confident, encouraging but beyond all a Man who we all knew was very well verse with a word called WINNING!!! 

Be it for India or for ‘super whore series’ also called IPL – MSD was one person on most of the occasion got his respective team India and CSK back in a dugout with a winning smile!!! 

But, this year I guess MS has seen the most frustrating year of all time since, he has been on International platform!!! 

I for one never was a CSK fan neither a Pune fanatic supporter when it comes to IPL. But, I for all these years have followed and cheered team which had MS on their side… 

And now, suddenly seeing him lose every match is the most frustrating thing!!! 

Yes… start of the year 2016 it was semis of WC final in Mumbai and now the current IPL Pune team MS has been there seen it all!!! 

HAS LADY-LUCK RUN OUT OF ITS COURSE?!! IS MS AT FINISHING LINE OF HIS CAREER?!! 

ADMIT IT – IT HURST TO SEE MS lose a match after match but, then... 

I guess every super exiting thing someday comes to an end!!! – 

Thank you MS!!
