Fedex triumphs :)

At last the tennis gods bestowed the title of the Greatest Tennis player of the history (perhaps) on Roger Federer on Sunday when he surmounted the so-near-yet-so-far French Open tournament after reaching the finals three times before. He is only the sixth man ever to win all the Grand Slam titles and equals another legendary Pete Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slam titles. What makes this achievement so sweet is that the way Fedex cameback from his slump in form. One can say his declivity started from last year Aus Open when he faced real power and challenge from his well-known Spaniard rival Nadal. Nadal, who appeared anywhere close to Fedex in prime, came to the fore and rightly deserved No.1 status after staying in N0.2 position for so long. The aura of invincibilty arnd Fedex seemed lost forever when he lost almost to everyone. However, form is temporary but class is permanent. Fedex fought his way back, and wow!! Now he is the French Open Champion. Having said that, Soderling was his saviour in a way. He had probably the best 2 professional weeks of his lifetime when he beat Nadal (surprsising everyone and sending shock ripples by ending Nadal's winning run f 31 matches at Roland Garros) and Gonzalez on way to finals. The victory would have been sweeter had it come against Nadal but by the law of transitivity, Fedex fans can think Fedex beat Nadal by beating Soderling :P

Anyway Go Fedex! Go!

What is Freedom?

It has been a while since i bothered myself in updating my blog. Its not that nothing great compared in my life but its the contrary. Life is full of small yet compelling surprises which makes it more interesting. Every time u come across a hurdle, u become stronger, rather u shud become stronger.

One question keeps on coming up in my mind..what is freedom?? Does it mean free from constraints?? Does that mean u need not be accountable for anyone?? Does that mean u need not worry what others think of u or ur action?? I think none of the above fits the bill..I believe freedom is the situation where u r able to choose the path which u believe is right for u with no influence. Having said that, its true that u may be whimsical or reckless and end up doing something dangerous or u might choose a utterly disastrous path in ur decision-making. But the difference here is U made the decision and U can lick ur bruises made by those decisions in ur heart while analysing where u went wrong rather than listening to advice. U can accept the situation with a smile though the cost of the smile is very high.

So going by my definition of freedom, I might become too self-centered and apathetic to relations if I go by my whim in the name of freedom. Thats when I realise that with freedom comes responsibilty. I was thinking that if u r free to make ur own decisions, then u ll be happy. Life is a cruel teacher. It teaches u a lesson in a harsh manner. It gives u a situation and expects u to find the answer urself. No matter how much success u attain, happiness depends on the attitude. Happiness depends on U. Situations never change, only people change. If u brood over a lost opportunity and delve into more depression, it is not going to do any good. I am not too ideal here. Its natural to brood over the lost chance and U have every right to do so. But the key lies in how fast u bounce back. Two problems with people are we dont know when to start and when to stop. If v crack that, then v r ready to pursue happiness :)
