Roger Federer :
In any sport, a player will have more fans from their home country, little from the other part of the world. There will be few players who got fans from every part the world. But here is the guy, not only spectators around the world but all the opponents also love him and admire him.
A quotation from his top rivalry and current No.1 Nadal:
“Federer is the best player in history, no other player has ever had such quality.”
The greatness of Roger is his consistency. He held No.1 ranking for 285 weeks (more than 5 years) and reached 23 consecutive grand slam finals (almost 6 years). I believe that consistency will definitely make anyone successful in career and life. Roger stopped playing doubles not that he can’t play doubles, but to be more successful in singles. In the initial stages of my career, I was interested in many technologies. I decided to gain consistency in one. I think that decision really helped me.
One more good quality in Roger is Motivation. Once you became No.1 in the world, you can’t have same kind of motivation like in the beginning of your career. But Roger still has the same motivation and never underestimates any opponent. He will go to practice for every tournament.
Whenever he loses a tournament or two, people will say it as end of his career. But every time he bounced back and started winning major tournaments. You call it as mental strength or self-belief. He will never let himself down with the critics.
A person’s life will change with the people they inspired of. I think my decision is right to choose Roger Federer as my inspiration.

Cycle to work - My first step to eco friendliness
Achievement is an achievement, whether its a small or big, doesn't matter. This month, I achieved something, which may be the first step to many more achievements. I have a some kind of awareness on health & environment more than the people around me. I want to do so many things for environment and I really can do so many things. But where to start??
In terms of transportation, we feel we improved a lot. We got scooters, bikes, cars, bus.We can travel a long distance in minutes without much of human effort. But in reality, my journey to office is filled with Air Pollution, Sound pollution, Horns, Traffic jams, Irritation etc. Every hike in petrol or diesel is again an extra burden.
A small key can open a big lock. In the same way, A small idea can fix so many problems. For me the bicycle looks like a better solution. With cycle I'm no more polluting the environment. I can avoid main roads, indeed shortcuts will also have trees and helps me to take good oxygen. No sound pollution. No traffic jams. No need to worry for petrol or diesel hikes. My journey time lessened from 75 to 40 minutes.
The bonus advantage for cycling is, 7 calories will be burnt every minute. Which reduces the risk of diabetes and heart problems in future.

My world of inspiration - part 2
This is the 2nd part of the series My world of inspiration. If you have missed Part 1, you can read here.
I have a unique way of understanding people. I concentrate more on their positive side, than their negative side. Every one do mistakes, that doesn't mean they are not good. The people who inspired me a lot, may have negative qualities with them. sachin hasn't brought world cup to india, gandhiji got lot of problems in the family, roger doesn't have good record against nadal, nakamatsu is not successful in his political attempts. But still they are the heroes for me, for their attitude, accomplishments, qualities.
Some popular inventions includes
He analyzed every meal he has consumed from past 35 to 40 years. He Knows which food will make him healthy. Because of him, I learnt living means not simply living, but healthy living. I included milk, carrot & fruit juice in everyday menu.
The most important thing, I liked with him is his perfection. For getting new ideas we need a calm room, everyone knows that. He covered his bathroom completely with gold, which which shuts out every noise and every magnetic and electronic field. So it will reduces noise in the brain and helps him to concentrate on the things.

My world of inspiration - part 1
There are some people in my life, who inspired me a lot and who motivates me for taking important & tough decisions. Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teressa, Shirdi sai baba, Roger federer, Sachin tendulkar, Yoshiro Nakamatsu, Galileo are in the top list among them. These people got same great qualities,I guess one day is not enough to write about them. So I decided to write a series of posts and I would be honored to write something about such a great personalities.
He played a very important role in Indian independence with the weapons like Ahimsa, Satyagraha etc. Ahimsa is totally Out of Box Solution in that situation. So many people are fought with weapons and lost their lives. But still independence was looking out of sight. So there is definite need of trying new things and Satyagraha was such kind of solution.
Ahimsa is the best thing we can follow in any generation. If entire world follows ahimsa, we can save a lot of money, with which every one in the world will get proper food and education. India alone spending one lakh crore rupees on defence. Think about America and UK, how much they might be spending. Each and every country is afraid of other countries. I strongly believe Peace and Love are the two things, which makes every one happy.
Being such popular, gandhiji was living a simple life. He has his own principles, own attitude, own life style. People say simplicity is his biggest asset.
It is very difficult to become a leader. He is a very successful leader in Quit India moment and Salt Satyagraha. Entire nation was behind him. They were ready to do, whatever gandhiji says. I know lot of Team leaders and managers, who struggle to lead a team of 10 members. Gandhiji was able to lead a nation of around 50 crore people.
Ahimsa, Simplicity and the Leader ship are the top qualities of gandhiji, which I'm inspired of.

Federer's early loss at wimledon is good for tennis
Roger federer, The Master of Tennis lost in quarter finals of Wimbledon 2010. Which will drop his ranking to No. 3. As a hard core federer fan, i'm really feeling bad with the result. On the flip side this result will be very encouraging to other players, who started believing that they can beat federer in grad slams. Lot of tennis players, stopped dreaming about top rank and started setting their goal as 2nd rank.
16 grand slam titles, 285 total weeks at No.1 position, 23 consecutive Grand Slam semi finals. These stats are some of the jewels in federer's crown. According to principle Records are Made to be Broken, all federer records may be broken. But not by any single player of this modern era.
Too much of dominance is bad for any sport. It happened with badminton. Asian players are playing so dominant that, they are the winners at all major tournaments. Because of this, Americans and Europeans stopped playing badminton.If federer domination has continued in the same way as the past 6 years, other good players could have stopped playing tennis. We have to wait and see, how many players other than Nadal will take this as opportunity and win grand slams.
In my list of dreams, one dream is to have a Wiki page with my name. I don't know how to achieve this. But federer is having more than 15 wiki pages. If federer writes something in facebook, within 15 minutes you can observe something like 30,000 people like this status under the post. That is the popularity and greatness federer has achieved.
I still believe, one day federer will regain his form and win one or two grand slams. Best of Luck federer.

Going to Heaven
Now a days, it's became a daily routine to debate with my mom. I think, i can write a book: "101 debates with my mom". The latest debate is again regarding god.People who have missed my opinion about god, can take a look into my previous post Understanding God.
She wants me to pray every day,that will take me to heaven. It is a very common belief in lot of people, mainly in hindu community.
But in the same hindu community vedas gives definition about Arishadvargas, which are considered as enemies for human life. kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (delusion), mada (pride) and matsarya (jealousy) are the bad things which prevents you from growing up. I really got so much of inspiration from these lines.
I simplified this and explained to my mom.
If you do all these things, you can see heaven in earth.
My mom won't agree with me for anything, but she still care for me a lot. That is called as Mother's Love.

- Love everyone in the world. I mean don't hate any one.
- Don't lie to any one. Be loyal to every one.
- Don't love money.
- Don't try to be on top of every one. Try to be friendly with every one.
If you do all these things, you can see heaven in earth.

Boys are unlucky
Boys are lucky than girls for many reasons, but in one point girls are very very lucky. Only girls can become pregnant. Out of 9 months, the last 4-5 months are like completely different life. They will start caring about themselves like never before. The exciting part is they can sense the baby moving inside the stomach. Baby will react to mother's emotions. Baby will react to the music, whatever mother is listening. How sweet that is.
When they get the cute baby into their hands, its an amazing moment. They have taken care of the baby for last 9 months and finally they have that cutie cutie output. The whole course is little painful, but this kind of pain will be sweet. A win after a hard struggle will be always nice.
If there is any successful procedure for male becoming pregnant, i will be very happy to take that. It may sounds crazy, but i'm really missing that golden moments. As a father guys can have some excitement, but mother's happiness is incomparable. Hey girls, i'm jealous on you , but hats off for being the source of new generation.

Happiness in financial terms
Last month(march) is the end of financial year 2009-10. I am also a lazy guy like lot others, who will think about savings and investments only in the month of march. I was busy in selecting funds. The major principle in selecting funds is "The more risk you take the more returns you get". I feel this logic will also apply to happiness in our life.
I categorize some items which are very common in every one's life.
Low Risk: vacations or outings, watching movies & sports, shopping etc.
Medium Risk: Smoking, drinking alcohol etc.
High Risk: Girl friend/Boy friend, wife/husband, having child etc.
Low risk items will give you less happiness and high risk items will give you more happiness. I guess getting married or having child are the extreme happy moments in life. But those are really risky things. If you got a bad partner or you don't know how to handle kids or how to plan your children career, your life may become complete mess.
Smoking and consuming alcohol will give you good amount of happiness, but you may spoil your health.But i feel drinking will be better than having a girl friend. I am very poor in understanding girls. And i can't entertain any girl all over the night in phone. I can't dedicate my entire life to one girl.As of now, i am not enough mature to go for high risk things. Cheers.

Understanding God
I feel proud of myself for one thing. I asked myself, who is god? I don't want to believe the the things happening around me. Praying god and expecting good marks in the exam without studying properly, more money without work. Everyday visiting temple and assuming god will send you heaven. I don't say all these things are stupid, but i don't like them. One more funny thing, many people will pray god to forgive their sins. They wont stop doing sins. They will get into a bad habit, do sin and pray god. Instead of praying god, i will sit alone and i will think about the mistakes i did and try to rectify them. This way i won't repeat my mistakes or sins. I feel this is better than praying god. If i want good marks in the exams, i will study carefully, i will make sure that i understood every topic. so that i won't get confused with the tough questions.If i want more money, i will think about earning money in different ways. I will work smart or work hard, whatever it takes.
People will offer money to god, if they want good marks in the exam. If they want their visa to be approved, they will offer more money. I really want to know, will god do all these things by taking these offerings.
Some of my friends says: humans, animals, morning,evening,sun,rain,trees etc., all these things are created by god. Without which, we cannot live. so god is great. I won't completely disagree with all these things. But all the above mentioned things are part of nature.The evolution of nature happened over the period of years. It is not the same yesterday and it won't be same tomorrow. I don't think god will change something, depends on your prayers.
Anyway i am in process of understanding god. One day i may become a big devotee, but only after getting all my answers.

I want to become a *********
Every one in the world will have a opinion, what they want to become in future. Where they want to see themselves in the future. Some people want to own a software company. Some people want to travel all around the world. Some people want to have a good family. Some people want to earn more money. Some people want to buy lot of properties.
I wonder about myself. I don't have any such ideas. I just want to be happy in my life. Where ever i live, what ever i do, i want to enjoy every moment of my life. If i loose my job, i can live happily by getting another job. If i am home less, still i can live happily. My friends will say: for having these kind of ideas, i'm not getting a girl friend.
I don't have any future plans. I might be started my birth crying. But i want to live happily and die happily. I just want to become a HAPPY MAN.
