It was unbelievable to see the Federer of the past last week when he mauled everyone to his title defense at O2 claiming his 6th Tour Finals
Personally being a huge fan I could be completely biased about this, but can't stop me from being excited about what is at stack for Roger next season and also the Gotham City with the Nolan's Dark knight Rises release next summer, hehe.. m getting carried away there.
Ofcourse the priority would be the Grandslams.. Would be interesting to see if he can translate his year end form into the next season. It was interesting to notice even through a what might be considered a poor year for him by his standards, have to be fair to him that he lost few close battles and definitely his French open show was the best as far as Grand slams were concerned this season.. Just not meant to was the USOpen match against Djokovic..
But the bigger picture is he would be excited about 2 stuff next year.. Yes I am gonna say it Olympics and the Davis Cup. As we know it won't all a cakewalk for the Swiss team in the Davis Cup.. Realistically he has better chance at winning the olympics gold than making his country lift the Davis cup.
Again once the season is underway there will be lot of guys pushing themselves for the elite once-in-four-year event, but Federer having won almost everything is chasing that one thing that has eluded him, the Olympics singles Gold.. He knows the value of it and I know he is going to push it hard at that event irrespective of the results in the Grand slams.
Still federer is one short of Sampras' record 7 Wimbledon, not sure if Roger can go on to beat that record especially after seeing him to fail racking semis last couple of years. But for sure he will be looking to equal his Idol pistol Pete's 7 at SW19..
As a fan, I wish he wins every tournament he turns up next season, but that would be greedy from my part and to deprive the sport itself the excitement
First Up it's going to be interesting how the beginning of the season is going to be.. All I can say is 'All the best to Roger' and all his dear-most fans ahead of a great new season.
Christmas Greetings!!

- In the world of energy, the Holy Grail is a power source that's inexpensive and clean, with no emissions. Well over 100 start-ups in Silicon Valley are working on it, and one of them, Bloom Energy, is about to make public its invention: a little power plant-in-a-box they want to put literally in your backyard.
You'll generate your own electricity with the box and it'll be wireless. The idea is to one day replace the big power plants and transmission line grid, the way the laptop moved in on the desktop and cell phones supplanted landlines.
It has a lot of smart people believing and buzzing, even though the company has been unusually secretive - until now.
- K.R. Sridhar invited "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl for a first look at the innards of the Bloom box that he has been toiling on for nearly a decade.
Looking at one of the boxes, Sridhar told Stahl it could power an average U.S. home.
"The way we make it is in two blocks. This is a European home. The two put together is a U.S. home," he explained.
"'Cause we use twice as much energy, is that what you're saying?" Stahl asked.
"Yeah, and this'll power four Asian homes," he replied.
"So four homes in India, your native country?" Stahl asked.
"Four to six homes in our country," Sridhar replied.
"It sounds awfully dazzling," Stahl remarked.
"It is real. It works," he replied.

Subject: RIP Jobs. didn't expect it will all happen so fast!
To: rememberingsteve@apple.com
Checked the news headlines, what happens to apple after jobs. I thought why are they still crying over his leaving apple (especially after the 4S release). Didn't expect it meant otherwise. Disbelief! for even someone who doesn't call himself big fan of Apple products.
Not to forget he was the founder of Pixar and first studio to make 3d animation feature films, till date the best animation co. and they are the benchmark for every other, and i don't have to say about Apple Co. But beyond loss for Apple the Co. this is a loss for his fans, for so many you are the role model. One of the most influential people in the last decade. Wherever you went, you didn't leave without your footmark.
For the Tech-savvys, this is the bookmark, the Before-Jobs/After-Jobs in their timeline!
You have made us hear music anywhere we want,
you have made us watch everything we would like on the go,
you have made us play with the angry birds,
you have not only made us hear, see, speak but touch everything,
to touch what we hear, to touch what we see, to touch what we speak,
reminds me of good old sci-fi, its like you're the sci-fi on demand,
you make it real what Steven Spielberg or Kubrick show us on screen.
you make it real what we dream of, and give us a reason to dream.
It's just crazy that you have spoiled us for good!
Whatever you have done, you have touched a millions of people, who inturn got to touch their iPods, iPhones, and iPads. A true Visionary, a legend and the trendsetter, you have changed things the way it's done, you have brought every other big corps on their knees, You did fall, you did rise, and you did conquer! Inspiring as your story is, it does baffle us, and there's a big void still, and I hope its not filled, for it is meant to be only missed.
You Came, You Conquered and You Left!The burning Q will be 'Now What!'
Condolences to friends and family,
All the best to Apple!
It's been a long time since my last update, and I know there are no visitors whatsoever for my blog, but i guess it's time again that I started to blog again, I still don't know why though, what has gotten into my mind lately; something to keep it all interesting I guess!
