Federer, AT LAST!!!!

And it all finally settled down and it took a while for all the emotions to sink in. Whenever Federer and Nadal fought their gladiatorial battles, the hearts of people watching always vouched for Federer and minds, Nadal. And so was the case today. It all went to the wire but at last, the heart had its victory and probably the sweetest one. Earlier in the day, I was going through 10 of the greatest matches list b/w these two and Federer at conclusion of one of his wins could see the future when he said that he wanted to win all he could before Nadal could have his say and although Federer never went away (as He won today), Nadal, Djoker and Murray all arrived. Nadal never became the king of jungle like Federer but it was Djoker, not Federer who trumped him in the race. Federer was still playing sublime tennis but it was a scant reminder of all the beautiful time in front of power tennis of Djoker. His power game also proved too much for the persevering and waiting game for Nadal but then he faltered this time. So did Murray, a late entry into this dreamy quartet but very competitive and hard working. And so with God's grace, we rolled all the years back to watch FEDEL play. And what I always believed the key differentiator b/w these two was Federer undying belief that he DEFINITELY had one more grand slam win in him. Two years ago, when Nadal won his last of French Open titles, he wasn't sure how long he was gonna play this immensely physical game but Federer never had this doubt. He proved once and for all that he is the G.O.A.T of all time. I was praying for this day for last 5 long years and with each year passing, it became more taxing for us Federer fans but when it finally arrived today, it proved to be the most satisfying, gratifying and surreal moment. It also led me to believe that God does exist, so Thank God!!!!

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

P.S. Hoffman & Joaquin Phoenix: The Master

My infatuation with the movies is well known but my involvement with the actors and their characters is even more heartwarming. There are innumerable movies that I saw simply because they featured my favorite actors, however they themselves were not great. Examples could be infinite, however for the sake of this article I'll have to produce something here. Anger Management for Jack Nicholson (boy, isn't he a legend?), Swing Vote for Kevin Costner, Snatch for Brad Pitt, Legends of the Fall (Brad Pitt), Leon: The Professional, Immortal Beloved, Bram Stroker's Dracula, State of Grace & Prick up your ears; all for Gary Oldman (mind you, he is a chameleon). Meanwhile, I started accumulating some of the finest performances by some of the legendary actors of all time. Very recently, as anyone who follows me regularly knows, I grew very much fond of the craft and artistry of Daniel Day-Lewis. He is a fine, fine actor whose study and impersonation of a character is often pictur...

Book Review - Colourful Notions:The Roadtrippers 1.0

Soul-searching (or at least an effort to do that) has become the new go-to objective of our millennial directors and writers who try to weave a narrative involving some characters that are confused at most of the things that do and thus are 'ordinary' by greats' standards. They look out for an answer, of all the troubles they are having in their lives and thus look out for an endeavor which if not provides a satisfactory solution to their troubles, at least give them a respite for a short while from their unremarkable lives. Hollywood and Europeans are working on this issue from 90s and they visited the orientals as well in search of their lost inner-selves. They might think that they are closing in on a solution but what about the developing Asians? They are catching up fast with 'well-developed' (but ever-so-confusing) Americans and Europeans and thus are getting the headaches and 'made-up' problem of their owns. Well, the author of this book, Mr. Mohit G...
