Hail Federer....

He made it. Now its official, Roger Federer is the greatest grand slam player in tennis history with 15 grand slam titals. He surpassed Pete Samprass by defeating Andy Roddick in Wimbledon 2009 final yesterday with 5-7,7-6,7-6,16-14 win. And what a final it was. It was 4 hours 15 mins long battle between two greats with no one wanted to give up. The final set strecthed to 95 minutes and Roger succeeded to keep his nerve. But hats off to Roddick. It was a very close encounter and Roddick was as good as Federer but as Federer said he was on lucky side. Roddick won the heart of the crowd and got a big applaud.
Surprisingly after the win Federer did not cry this time as i was expecting.

Weird traffic safety sign

“Kutta bhi bina wajah nahi bhaunkta…. horn mat bajaiye”
(Even a dog don’t bark without a reason…don’t honk)

This is what I have seen written on traffic safety signs on streets of delhi as an appeal to motorists to stop honking.
When I first saw it, I felt uncomfortable with these lines. Though it is for people safety, it's in a uncivilized manner.....or we don’t listen unless it is said weirdly.
