Michael Schumacher, one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, recently met with a freak accident while skiing in the French Alps. A tragic incident for the seven-time world champion who is now battling for his life at the Grenoble University Hospital, France. This news came as a shock for many. Even for those who do not watch Formula One. Plausibly because Schumacher is a much loved figure all across the world. People have atleast heard of his achievements and know what that man stands for. I remember when I first read this news, it deeply saddened me. Formula One is one of the many sports I follow and am undeniably in complete awe of.I have always admired the F1 drivers zooming past on the circuit at the speed of almost 350 km/hr , lying in uncomfortable sleeping positions and taking as many as about 50 laps on an average.I believe their focus, stamina and control is extremely commendable and worthy of several praises.I personally think, this sport is a spectacular display ...

I woke up early morning to the sound of the television showing the Republic Day Parade at Delhi.We celebrate our 65th Republic Day this year and India has definitely come a long way.Or has it? The significance of Republic Day dates back to 26th November 1949 when the Constitution of India was passed by the Constituent Assembly chaired by B.R. Ambedkar. However, it was chosen to be adopted on 26th January 1950 because this date was earlier associated with declaration of Complete Independence by the Indian National Congress (INC). A bite of history we learnt during school and I like to believe, every Indian knows about.  For me, these national holidays always serve as a reminder of our past.Of our pre-independence struggle and the valiant leaders our country had given birth to. It also serves as a stark contrast of how we had leaders who could die for the nation back then and the kind of leaders we have today :- who would kill for power. As, I watched the parade, a sense...

It is funny how life changes slowly. How things around you change.And how you end up changing yourself. Life is a test or a struggle, so do people say. Must be right. But then, people say a lot of things. It is even stranger how, when you are younger you are so sure of everything. But as days pass by, you're full of doubts about everything happening around. ********************** The past few weeks have been very hectic for me. One can say I almost have no social life .I commute a long way to work and in the evening crash back home to sleep. Sounds simple. But that's not all I do when I get home.I always end up having other assignments which I need to finish. And these aren't mundane tasks.They require energy and creativity. I cant gather any brains to do them well. Nevertheless, they have to be done.So, I do them. After dinner. Or before dinner.And, then sleep, all dead. Wake up.Repeat. No, this is not a rant post.Life is not monotonous.It is a little hectic w...
