I have been following Roger Federer since his junior days.  RF 1.0 was brash arrogant temperamental and very aloof..he was very animated on court ..then he realised he doesnt have to change his game...he knew he was the best ..he just has to control his inner demons and control his aggression.. RF 2.0 demolished everyone who came his way.. Yes he didnt win french but won everything else..he was at the peak and there was no one even attempting to climb least challenge especially on grass... Then came the 2008 wimbledon ..the day i will never forget...Best Match of tennis I have seen.. He lost to nadal..in a wimbledon final..Then suddenly djokovic arrived...he started losing in big matches..something he was not familiar with..the australian open final and the tears shed showed his vulnerability..Everyone hates to lose but for him ithat loss was earth shattering..Del potro also beat him in final
Fed 3.0 was like Sachin is his twilight years.. people never stopped worshipping him but started questioning can he win another slam?.. Over the last 2 years Federer himself realised that he has to look beyond numbers and start enjoying the game.. He got Edberg on board..no better men than the ice cool swede.. People starting loving him even more when he portayed himself to be a family man..his two set of twins.. his phillantophic side..
Today its not about numbers anymore for his fans and more importantly himself.. He lost the 2014 final..he remained calm and graceful in defeat..he lost to andrew seppi in Australian and again he confidently said he is feeling good about his game..
When Roger Federer 4.0 will step out for 10th time on the hallowed centre court on 12/07/2015  he will a familair opponent in the form of Djokovic..Irrespective of the result RF and his fans know that after all this years.. what has not changed even wee bit is his sheer class, artistry and the joy he gives to the audience..
He and his biggest fan in me both have attained a state of tennis nirvana..a blissful state where  he plays his favourate backhand slice on court and I keep chanting..

Life gives probability lessons

Probability is a tough cookie to crack. Sometimes actual incidents make you curious and makes you wrack your brain and revise your probability lessons. Like the famous incident of Thomas Hardy spotting a taxi number while playing cards yesterday something happened which made me wonder and calculate the probability of what had transpired after the events took place. Let me replay the exciting turn of events !! There is a game called 5 3 2 played in 3 players who 10 get cards each After a game is over if you make more hands than your designated ones you get to choose that many cards from opponents cards next time So here is turn of events Game over I made 5 ( had to make 2) while my opponent made 2( had to make 5) so I got to pick 3 cards from opponents before next game starts Game 2 begins cards are shuffled and opponent gets her 10 cards and gets a chance to see them if they want to arrange in any order and keep them down . Chance 1. I call out a random number 3rd f...
