Iceman Cometh !!!

With Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso doing all the talking off the track, it's hard to believe [for McLaren fans and team boss Ron Dennis] that a Ferrari driver clinched victory, not only in the last race, but also for the Driver's Championship Title. It's an old saying that goes with the moment [Two cats and a monkey. Two cats fight over a bread. And then in the heat of the moment, the monkey keeps the bread at the end of the story.] Pretty much the same thats happened on the Formula 1 racing circuit. Except that the two are cats speeding at 300 kmph and the monkey is 40 second clear of the two cats.

Kimi looked quite through out the race. No words spoken about Lewis's impending at the saturday qualifying. Although then Formula One world championship leader [before the race !] Lewis Hamilton did apologize to his title rival Kimi Raikkonen for accidentally impeding the Finn during qualifying for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix. I think it's more than talking. it's about going out there and making a point by winning. Blabbering mouth(s) [Alonso n Lewis] are there in every field, but there is only one true champion. no one can argue that. If you are good enough, prove it. Don't just add comments [like Alonso] ... If you are a sucker for making it in the headlines, you might as well kiss up a bollywood mistress and achieve it. Thats works for most of the people not from India, For people from India, it does work at times, but then you have to kiss Rakhi Sawant for the glory [:x] *Sad*. Ron Dennis will be absolutely kicking himself. He would have never ever come up with this scenario. Poor Lewis would be expecting to wake up from his worst nightmare and grab a brush and toothpaste and start brushing his teeth. But poor Lewis, for him, his nightmare has been converted to reality by his fellow [no offense] team mate Alonso and rival Kimi Raikkonen. And all that he can do about it is, to cry behind the huge helmet on some remote corner of the track, where he won't be spotted by any of the stewards. I am acting a bit tough on Lewis, but being a hard core kimi and a ferrari fan ... there is nothing much to think about the rest.

Before the race, Kimi had slim chance of winning. The words spoken about him were really very mean. Things like "Outside Chance", "Last Possibility", "Not Reliable", "Against Odds", "Least Probable" were said at the Race Day preceding presentations. But I am happy that these mouths are shut for the next one year. And I certainly hope that Formula 1 Championship Season 2008 is as interesting as its been this time round. Beware Lewis. They are saying that you have a good career ahead. I wish you do. But not till 2009. Watch out Lewis ICEMAN COMETH !!!

Art of Deception

My idea of the first blog was that it should contain things I like and dislike ... but I thought WTF [what the fcuk], who cares what I like and dislike ... so here I am back to square one ... what should I include in my first blog ... I believe that the title "Art of Deception" would serve the purpose rather well but I thought it becomes too harsh on the first timers to read too much of intellectual stuff for their rather unintellectual brains.

Yeah I just cursed you there. But if u know me and you are reading this ... you discard it with a smile. And if you don't know me, you will continue reading on...
Deception in my view is a means of survival. Ever Human ( with a capital H ) in this form of existence ( "form" is the state or time rather than mutation ) is an invariable target of politics that arise at workplace, family, friends and education.

Family and friends is something that are defined and controlled by your emotions and thoughts that you express towards them. If you are pissed at them, you fell that they are sick and you want to be alone...If you feel happy about them being around you, you adapt to the circumstances and then be happy with everyone.

But for people with "violent mood swings" ... that above things don't come true. I am a victim. I know what it feels. One moment you want to be left alone and the other moment you want to be with everyone ... and if there is no one around u...u fell why the hell has everyone started to ignore.But all that happened when I was staying at a Hostel. Family is something thats see with respect. At a place like a hostel where people are of the same age group, the respect seems to cease when the ego comes into play.

Then comes the funny part ... you start analyzing... You commit the biggest mistake ... "analyze" ... and then emote.

When you start analyzing...you create boundaries for others not to cross ... you distinguish on the basis of your decisions and not the circumstances. Any one did something that hurt you, necessarily doesn't mean that it was an intended thing. It might been an act that was not intended on his part to be something that offensive to you. Action is neither good nor bad. It is the MOTIVE behind the action that is good or bad. We should act under all circumstances. If the action has amounted to a murder, and the intent is good, then even an act of murder is considered right in every sense. Thats what our Indian Government acclaimed "The Bhagwat Gita" states. So stop analyzing things.

The things start all over again ... you become agitated like a rebellious teenager with puberty oozing with every word spoken. The teenage angst with every expression of thought.

Now the question is not how to control this thing ... but how to deceive these things. The things that might make a permanent effect on your friends and your boss. The only way out is to calm your self down for the moment. Tell yourself that you have been in worse places and times and this is just a piece of shit.

Later when you are with a buddy ... discuss with him.
Doesn't help out much then follow the disciplines of the Bhagwat ...It does help a lot.

It tells you that everything around you is an illusion. An illusion that you have seen through out your existence. An illusion that can be discarded at your will. There is a higher level of existence that contradicts all you have seen and all that you were supposed to see.

The basic principle of the Bhagwat is " Let the fool be delivered." which is a complete statement in itself. It requires no meaning. For a fool the statement holds no importance or logic. Hence the word "delivered".

The Bhagwat is the ultimate truth. And the ultimate truth needs no acceptance. If you wish to reject it ... it still remains what it is. If you accept it ... one fool less in the world of materialism.

There is a difference in knowing the path and walking the path. If you know the truth and do nothing about yourself ... it server no purpose ... rather be an ignorant than an wise fool. The other type of fool that is. A fool that knows things but cant implement them.

Thats the breed that stays mystified by the facts but are too busy to implement. Fools that just do the foreplay and never move on to the real thing. Thats a good one...just made it up.

The reason behind being simple. In todays world everything that we do is with a purpose. Something that is done without purpose is very hard to achieve.

So the root cause of failure ... that is "purpose" ... is the only thing that keeps us going ahead. Something that is achieved without purpose is achieved better. Better in terms of time and value. Better in terms of quality of life. Better in terms of fulfillment.
The life becomes more meaningful once you are in control of the decisions made and the result achieved. Once the habit of getting into things more deep is achieved ... things will be easier to understand, easier to assimilate and easier to remember.

The power of self confidence is truly a mirror image of this feeling that is exhibited by only people that believe in themselves. Not superficially but literally.

So...START BELIEVING.

F1 2008 Winner is _______ !!! [Kimi pls !!!]

Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen - who is destined for glory?

For the first time in over 20 years, three drivers will fight it out for motorsport’s ultimate prize at the final round of the season this weekend. Lewis Hamilton is clear favourite, thanks to a four-point lead over McLaren team mate Fernando Alonso, but the odds rarely tell the whole story. After one of the most troubled title defences in living memory, Alonso will not give in without a struggle; and then there is Kimi Raikkonen, waiting to pounce, Ferrari very much at the top of their game. But who will win? And why? We examine the factors to be considered…

Kimi Raikkonen

Why he’ll win…
Third time lucky: Raikkonen has been here before. He may not have won a title, but he’s been runner-up twice, in 2003 and 2005. In ‘03 he missed out by just two points, after pushing Michael Schumacher all the way to the wire. Such experience stands him in good stead - you can rely on Raikkonen to give it his all - and not to crack under pressure. On top of that he likes coming from behind - just look at his fearless fight through the field at Fuji recently.
His team mate: with Felipe Massa out of the championship running, past form suggests Ferrari will do everything in their power to make sure his main role is a supporting one to Raikkonen’s charge for victory in Brazil. Definitely a luxury Alonso and Hamilton won’t be enjoying!

Why he won’t win…
Reliability: relative to McLaren, Ferrari’s has been pretty weak this season and just one more problem - in either qualifying or race - would put Raikkonen out of contention.
He’s too far behind: he trails Hamilton by seven points and Alonso by three, which means not only does Raikkonen almost certainly need to win in Brazil - ideally with Massa second - he also needs some serious misfortune to come his rivals’ way. Even if he leads home a Ferrari one-two, with Alonso finishing third, Raikkonen would need Hamilton to come home no higher than sixth to steal the title.

Lewis Hamilton

Why he’ll win…
He’s ahead: despite his error at the Shanghai pit entrance, consistency has been key to Hamilton’s campaign and his lead means he needs the fewest points from Brazil to take the crown. If he can finish immediately behind Alonso - even if the Ferraris are ahead - he will be champion.
Pressure: in many ways he’s not really under any - if he wins he’s the first rookie champion; if he loses he’s still had the greatest rookie season in Formula One history - and, be it Alonso or Raikkonen, he will have lost to one of the most highly-rated drivers of the modern era.
Team spirit: while no one - even Alonso - doubts McLaren will continue to treat their drivers equally in terms of equipment and strategy, Hamilton knows that most in the organisation would almost certainly prefer to see him to win the title - a pretty substantial weapon to have in your armoury, especially when your main rival is also your team mate!

Why he won’t win…
Inexperience: Alonso has won two world championships, Raikkonen has come close to winning two. For Hamilton, it’s virgin territory. Yes, he’s taken titles before, but never under the intense pressure and media scrutiny that accompanies Formula One. Indeed, could his China gaffe be the first sign that he is starting to crack? On top of that he has never raced at Interlagos.
Pressure: in other ways, he is under intense pressure - pressure that has intensified immensely since his error in China. It is coming at him from all quarters, either directly or indirectly - from his rivals; his team; the media; himself; and, arguably most of all, from genuine Formula One fans around the world who, after a season seemingly dominated by off-track politicking, desperately want to see the Hamilton fairytale come true.

Fernando Alonso

Why he’ll win…
When the going gets tough: the media may have over-egged the situation, but there is no denying that Alonso is a pretty isolated figure at McLaren, and few in the paddock expect him to continue with the team next season. You might think such a situation would de-motivate a driver, but in Alonso’s case he almost seems to thrive on it. This time last year he was complaining that Renault were not giving him adequate support in his championship battle with Michael Schumacher, claiming he often felt ‘alone’ within the team. It didn’t stop him putting in devastating drives when they were most needed - notably his victory in Japan, which all but secured his second drivers’ title.
Risky business: if Alonso really is convinced that McLaren are on Hamilton’s side he may decide he has nothing to lose in being ultra aggressive, both on the track in his driving, and off it with the mind games that inevitably accompany a title decider. If he can get under Hamilton’s skin and convince his team mate that he cannot afford to play things conservatively - which in reality he can to a degree - then he knows he is more likely to force him into another rookie error. In this respect, Alonso’s isolation within the team is almost an asset - it means he will remain an unknown quantity to Hamilton, who can never be sure quite what the double champion has hidden up his sleeve.

Why he won’t win…
He’s not leading: Alonso has never come from behind to win a championship. In 2005 he had a healthy margin over Raikkonen throughout the year and wrapped up the title with two rounds to spare. Things were closer last year - he was level with Michael Schumacher heading to the penultimate race - but he never actually dropped behind the German.
He’s already lost: as McLaren have discovered, Alonso is a hard man to read. If he genuinely believes that Hamilton is destined for the title, could it be that he has already given up hope? Numerous comments attributed to the Spaniard in the press suggest he believes the title has already been decided off the track. The sign of a beaten man? Or perhaps just one trying to out-psyche his team mate?

3 way Showdown at F1 [1st time in 20 years][:D]

The 2007 drivers’ championship | The permutations for Brazil

It’s the question on everyone’s lips. Alonso, Raikkonen, Hamilton - who has to do what to become world champion at Interlagos this weekend. Unfortunately, the answer is far more complex than the question, but I’ve tried to make it as straightforward as possible. Listed below are the various Brazilian Grand Prix results that could see each of the three drivers involved crowned champion….

For Raikkonen to become champion:
Raikkonen first; Alonso third or lower; Hamilton sixth or lower or Raikkonen second; Alonso fourth or lower; Hamilton eighth or lower

For Alonso to become champion: Alonso first; Hamilton third or lower or Alonso second; Hamilton sixth or lower or Alonso third; Hamilton eighth or lower; Raikkonen second or lower or Alonso fourth; Hamilton out of the points; Raikkonen third or lower

For Hamilton to become champion: Hamilton first or second or Hamilton third or fourth; Alonso second or lower or Hamilton fifth; Alonso third or lower or Hamilton sixth or seventh; Alonso third or lower; Raikkonen second or lower or Hamilton eighth; Alonso fourth or lower; Raikkonen third or lower or Hamilton out of the points; Alonso fifth or lower; Raikkonen third or lower

I like Raikkonen to become the champion. Whats ur wish ? Pls. poll.
