What a Match!!

Whoa!! The Wimbledon final at the Center Court proved to be another epic battle between two gladiators! After losing the longest ever final last year Federer came around and proved his mantle with 50 aces!(I can't believe that!) And to do so in front of a crowd including legends of all sorts was such a great feat. It took 77 games and 256 minutes to dish out a winner but in a way I just thought that Andy Roddick deserved it more. He fought hard and it was just that he was on the not so lucky side as Federer got the chance to serve first in the final set. Always serving ahead of Roddick and taking the game, Federer had an upper hand winning a game first and then putting pressure on Roddick in the next and that is exactly what happened in the 30th game of the final set. Roddick had a superb chance of winning the second set when he went 6-2 up but the champion in Federer just staged a comeback! Anyway, sadly, it was a shattered Roddick in the end and I wish he had won it.

Watching Movies

Just watched 'New York' today. Thought the message has been conveyed but taking two and a half hours is a little bit too much. Background scores and cinematography were commendable and it was good to hear distorted guitars throughout the movie. However, every time a good piece of music comes along one is compelled to think if Pritam has again 'taken inspiration' from some other music album. Anyway, acting was just fine and I think Katrina has improved her accent so much. Given her looks, who wants to concentrate on her accent anyway. Overall, i would say the movie is avoidable. The message implying on the hypocrisy of the American Government towards Muslims is quite strong and noticeable.

This is my first blog so I am dying for suggestions for the betterment. Please post if any.
