Saturday was like wake-up call for my body… We had ‘Dance’ in Acting class and I realized how stiff I have gotten… I always figured that Tennis, Soccer and Basket Ball(started this on sat too ) would have made my body flexible… guess what I realized…

I could hardly move initially, certain things like stamina, stretching, balance etc came easier to me… It was the parts where you have to move parts of your body slowly that took the toll, I was very stiff and smooth motion was almost impossible. I was like muscles in my body had forged with their neighbours making it impossible for me to control them individually. I was moving like Arnie from Terminator for a while An hour or so later things got easier and I was having the time of my life… Damn, never knew dancing could be so much fun My classmates were kind enough to encourage me when ever I missed a step and by the end of the day I was not doing that very often Ever since the class, I just cant get out of the dance mood… Had to meet friends on Sunday evening and my body seemed to be in a mood of its own getting tuned to every beat around us.

I hv added about 15-30 min of dancing to my morning routine now hope I can do better than tell people that ‘I have two left feet’ soon

I dont understand how some people think that not talking will solve relationships… I know 4 friends(in pairs) who dont talk to each other. They can enter a room with the other person in it and act as if that person did not exist at all. This kindof behavior will go unnoticed for a while after which it will really get irritating depending on how close you are to both of them.

I have always wanted to own a model of a Formula One car and ever since Sep 2005 I have known that it has to be the R25*. After reading premkudva’s post I realized that it was easily at reach and that I was running out of time(The R26 scale models came to the market just days after I ordered ).

The car is simply gorgeous and more beautiful than i ever imagined… It has that amazing new car smell(the scent just blew me away). The curvature on the wings are just sleek and everything form the wheels to the helmet is just so life like…

I called up a friend of mine as soon as I saw the model and this was how the conversation went:

Me: Hey, got it. It was delivered in the afternoon…
Her: Cool how does it look?
Me: Its beautiful… Its huge. I mean… its like 6-7 inches in length…
Her: Bet you havent said that to a girl before
Me: (laughing hysterically)

Its without a doubt the best gift I bought myself

* Sep 2005 is when Fernando Alonso became the Youngest Formula One World Champion. The R25 went on to win Renault the Constructors World Championships few weeks later.

I have been meaning to write this post for a while now and I just realized that I would be running out of time so here it is…

I have over time slowly but steadily moved to english movies from Hindi and Regional films… The reasons are not important but there have been so many Regional Language Movies(Kannada, Telugu and Tamil) over the years that I truly loved and I wanted to share it with all of you…

I have always believed in the saying “Dont say anything if you dont hv anything nice to say.” I have always prided my self for following it but… Yesterday during argument(s) with people about a topic which neither one of us had total facts about, I crossed the line. I said hurtful things, maybe they were interpretions of the truth and frankly most of it was my opinion but I knew it would hurt the other person and still bought it up.

Last night when I thought about it, I realized how naive I was. We were arguing about our beliefs and frankly those are the arguments that will never end… Beliefs dont change over moments… I was a lesser man for trying to hurt someone with words and even lesser man for letting myself be hurt by it.

I hv always believed in treating every incident in an unbiased way and whenever I realized that I couldn’t, I kept my opinion to myself. I hv promised myself not to indulge into those arguments again with the only exception of defending my beliefs if its truly and largely threatened.

Michael Schumacher yesterday in an emotional post race press conference announced his retirement from Formula One. The next 3 races will be last time we will see the most successful driver in Formula One on track.

I was a die hard fan of Michael until 2003 when a certain Spaniard’s drive in Malaysia stole my heart(that is a story for another day).

Michael was the only name in Formula One that I knew of back then… My first race was the one in which Mika retired in the last lap gifting Michael the victory. The next few years saw my love for the sport shoot right up. I cheered for the Scarlet cars and watched as no competition came close. Until the end of 2002 I toasted every Schumi victory and every Ferrari success. Then came the grandprix of Austria 2002… Team orders and after that for the first time a team I supported lost respect in my eyes. It was a downward spiral from then on…

On this day where I saw emotion in the eyes of every Ferrari fan I encountered I dont want to throw dirt on a World Champion or point out his flaws. He was a brilliant driver who would do anything to win… Maybe its what the sport demanded of him. He is still a great human being and my respect for him as a person is a million times what it will be for him as a professional.

There was a time I considered him a god… I dont anymore(I even laugh at myself sometimes thinking how naive I was to think that). He is and probably will forever be the most successful driver in F1… I hope no driver ever has as much success as him(not even Alonso) coz its bad for the sport.

A Toast to Michael Schumacher… One of the best drivers I hv had a pleasure of watching and supporting. Thanks for those happy moments you gave me and the Tifosi

As for Kimi I am happy you will finally get a car that will finish races and I look forward for a brilliant Kimi-Alonso era.
