  • Solace

    When nothing can comfort you, His words can. His words always will.

  • Some days, the view looks scary. Trust Him. He is the Best of Planners.
  • Showers of blessing.

    Clouds come floating in to my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky. (Tagore)

I grew up watching almost every single Grand Slam match!Absolutely adored every tennis star!

Loved Agassi n his style of play!His effective strokes and and 'rock star' image.

But today's headlines shocked me :

" I took drugs in 1997 : Agassi "

The report says he had taken crystal meth and was helped by his drug user assistand,slim

Why do we always looks for shortcuts for success??

A disappointing news for his millions fans ,the world over....

A blow to his record slam titles......

Yet again,another drug history in tennis ,after the much controversial 'Hingis dope test positive'!!....

Till next,
Fly High! :)

Seconds,seconds n just seconds!

The timings of the different runners of the 100 m dash at the Beijing Olympics just left me wonder struck ,when thought abt!

The Gold Medalist and the Track fields new hero ,Usain Bolt of Jamaica,came running the 100 m at just 9.69 seconds...

The Silver Medalist,Richard Thompson,came in at 9.89 seconds,two-tenths of a second behind and loss of an olympic gold medal!

The Bronze medalist at 9.91 ....that is 0.02 seconds behind and loss of the silver medal!

Fourth runner came in 9.93 seconds ,again the same difference in seconds!

So,its basically a matter of miniscule of seconds whether your name is in obscurity or whether u clinch the coveted medals n record!This is surely 'competition' in the highest form seen!

Most of these athletes train day in and day out ,toil n moil for 4 years ,only at times to lose the medal coz of being tenth s of a SECOND behind!

N most of the time,unfortunately,we fail to recognize this,that its just a matter of time n minutes n seconds ,that makes a difference!!

Smile on!

Till next,
Fly high! :)
