Road

I had forgotten to attach the meeting on meeting place and I remember it when I sit in the cab! darn!! I hoped that he drive fast and there be no traffic on road. Now, that is optimistic. The driver didn't wait for anyone, so we saved a few minutes, maybe. But no traffic, that dint happen.
Now I come with the rules known to every person with a two wheeler in Bangalore. If you have just bought a new one, here they are:
1. Overtake a BMTC bus from the left. Trying from the left, will leave you behind it forever. BMTC buses will immediately go to the right lane when they start from the stop, which is on the left lane. They will now see if there are vehicles inches behind on the right lane. The driver puts his hand outside, n the bus goes to the right.
2. Never be on the left side of the BMTC, when a turn is coming up. The bus will always come to the left and stand in front of you. There is always a bus stop after a turn.
3. To overtake a lorry, just guess which side would be better. They generally take the middle lane.
4. Autos, they follow no rule. They have a special ability to take a right angled turn.

On the road, I don't like to be overtaken by any vehicle smaller than my Dio.

Go Roddick!!

Federer wins Wimbledon and the numero uno rank yet again.
I am not his ardent supporter, and feel that others should win more to make each match a better one. But he holds such an edge over his opponents, it is difficult to deny him victory. Semifinal with Haas did not look like a semi, with him gliding to the straight sets win. He always did that, dint he? Unless Nadal appeared to the scene. The two slams victories still has one pondering if the result would have been the same if Nadal was fit? Tennis, like any other game is half won in the mind. Having a match against Feddie could make one have nightmares the previous night. Does Nadal have that effect on Federer? But the final was a good fight, Roddick played his best making his opponent sweat for this cup, which could be considered his own possession. Hats off to him! He might have just prolonged Federer's wait to get till there, but fight is what a match is about!
Sampras won't be the highest Slams record holder anymore, Nadal is not number one; But to get till there, Roddick gave him a very good resistance. Yo RODDICK!!!
