History Made : Halfway across the world

I am not going to brag about not writing a post for a long time like i usually do while starting a new t. I am going to directly come to my post. Phew after a super cool 2 weeks India had atlast won a major world championship in the form of the twenty20 world cup. It was just an outstanding achievement seeing the quality of the game we played, and the big teams that we beat.

However, I am not going to talk about the history that was made through cricket as you guys might be expecting, I am gonna talk about someone else. A 23 year old called Karun Chandok, had won the penultimate race of the GP2 series in Spa Circuit , Belgium. You might have heard of it. If you have not then search for it through google. Well the big thing is that he had won a race in his first ever season in the series.

The GP2 series is the one next to the formula 1 championship, the difference between them is that , all the cars have the same engine , tyres, electronics etc.. this is the perfect way to test the drivers talent, also it is raced in the same formula 1 circuits. I had the great pleasure of seeing this race (telecast in ten sports) , this race was also being watched by Bernie Ecclestone (Director of fia, the sports governing body, Fernando Alonso, who personally praised Karun for the race, and so on), who heard the Indian National anthem being played at the podium for the first time ever in a formula one circuit, and also saw the standing ovation from the crowd.

All this was after the best overtaking meneuver they had seen in a long time (said by Bernie), and from being in the ninth place in the starting he had gone to first place and overtook the leader from being 1.5 seconds behind in the last five laps of the race.

This is such a great acheivement and sadly in our country these go unnoticed, this is just my attempt to praise karun for his acheivement, Kudos to you Karun.. I request whoever reads this post to watch the final race of the season to be held on 29th and 30th of this month, he might not win , but if he does we all might be able to hear our national anthem once again.

Has it ever happened to u???

Its been a long time since i posted....this is the umpteenth time tat i hav begun with such a line in a post...i guess with me...procrastination is a habit tat will stay forever...
I had been meanin to post on a lot of things...this has been a time of change and wat with the fact that i hav been very very vetti...lotta things hav come to mind as possible topics for a post....
i wanted to post about life after college...the boredom...
about my subsequent return to chennai...about things tat changed....and thankfully....about some others tat didnt...
i also wanted to post about my return trip.....till nagpur...the time i spent ther...and then a different journey home....
but all that will come some other time...if i somehow manage to get those thoughts to see the light of day...
wat finally drew me to the keyboard to type out this post was a serial i was watching on zee cafe...its called wonder yrs...its something i used to see bak whn i was a small kid and used to really enjoy...now they are reshowin all that...and i am havin a nice time...:-)
anyways...in todays episode...ther was this incident wher the protogonist of the serial...a teenage kid kevin...lies to his dad....and then keeps on hoping that his dad finds out the truth...
its something that we all do sometime in our lives dont we...hoping against hope that the lie that we hav told....can actually come out..we might be lying for some reason or the other...whn wat we want nothing more than to just tell the truth....
i know it sounds an absurd thing to say....but think about it...
i am sure it might hav happend to u....
