Was sitting idle surfing through the TV channels and happened to catch some Tennis action,inadvertently happened to recollect the statement given by Evan Lendl I believe after his yet another unsuccessful Wimbledon effort " Grass is for Cows ", this made me wonder what Bjorn Borg would have reacted when he heard that. He was quite successful at Wimbledon until one Mr.John McEnroe came along.It is pity that he called it quits so early in his career after realising that even he can be defeated. Well not a great sporting gesture i believe which reminds of Bobby Fisher the great Chess champion who declined to defend his title against Karpov because of a superinflated ego that none can challenge him. And when you talk about chess, every Indian remembers only one name , Vishwanathan Anand. He is truly a great champion ventured and made an impact in a sport which no other Indian has ventured into earlier. One such Indian who ventured into totally a different unknown sport is Narain Karthikeyan,and when the topic is about Formula 1, it is unquestionably the "Red Baron" Schumacher that you remember. He really had his sway until Alonso was able to stop the Ferarri Juggernaut,irrespective of the fact that I do not like this guy, have to accept that he really has tenacity second to none, might be the Spanish blood effect and when you talk about Spain the first thing that comes to mind is the Bull Fighting. Ahh so mighty bulls, wonder how are they are so robust, does eating grass gives them so much strength ?? Grass,,, ah well it is at this point my mind realised that all this flow of thought started with " Grass" courts of Wimbledon. Hmm,,, its a full circle...i believe i can use this and prove the world is round..no need to go on a long voyage like Magellan to prove it,, hey heey ....our thoughts and their flow,,sometimes truly weired :-)
