I am writing this almost a month after my trip to F1 held in Tokyo. But better late then never :-) . It was to be a once in a lifetime experience of going to the race but what it's made as to be a one big festival/ celebration blah blah is not actually that. Reality is totally different. The experience itself will not be good until and unless you understand the sport very well. The pit lanes , the overtakes , the safety cars, the machinery , tyres , Qualifying , etc , there is no end to the rules and regulations. Another thing is the track layout is such that person sitting at a point Will not be able to see the whole track because of the so many curves and bends. So it's like seesing the cars go through one same point nth times. How exciting can that be! Well the tickets are also damn expensive and if you really take my word it's better if you watch it from home. But none the less now as the season has come to an end, I am eagerly awaiting for the next season to start and

So we finally have a F1 team , that's great news. And the name Force India sounds ok, atleast better then something like Indian Star or Indian Lions etc. Let's see how this goes as the name and idea are good. Looking forward to see them atleast beat the Super Aguri and Toro Rosso next season. Being in F1 will definaltely give Mallaya a much needed global audience . And with strong 500 million avid followers it will give good visiblity to the India GP slated for 2010. http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/10/7036.html

The trip started in ways that I never expected , I will put it this way I never expected it to start. We had planned it for Saturday morning and it started in the afternoon. Why because it was never meant to start but suddenly we had a calling ,some divine force , I believed it to be the Fuji san's intervention and the combination of beautiful lakes that was calling us to climb this beautiful mountain. There were forces that we later realized that really existed . These forces were the one that made you strive to reach till the top when you know you can’ t take an extra step , there are forces that made you calm when you look down those slopes and realize that one wrong step and that's the end . You see those people from all ages you are hit by a reality. That some thing really exists , maybe just a faith in Fuji san that it will not hurt you. And it gave us faith too. So that’s it for the divine part , but then I want to tell you things really started bad. We had not do

Bench n. 1. seats for nonplaying athletes: in team sports, the seats for players not taking part on the field or court 2. seats for non working SE’s : typically the SE will be found in the library or Coffee outlets, basically having a great time.

Bought an Abacus yesterday. I had some eagerness to know how a simple mechanical instrument does all the complicated caluclations. As it turns out in a short span of time I was able to do some simple additions and subtractions and believe me it was loads of fun. If u wanna know more Click here and don't be surprised when i tell u that it has been voted as the second most valuable tool of all time by forbes My Abacus

Click here Matches to watch out : Sat 31 Mar A1 v B2 (Australia v India) Sun 15 Apr B2 v D1 (India v Pakistan) Considering the long steak of poor performances by the minows it was an easy task to decide the super eight schedule. May be this acts as a boost for them(minnows) and few of them upset super eight setting.
