It was another weekend on the horizon and i was determined to make something out of today. I wanted to do so much but got so little to do.
After growing hair for the last couple of months i decided to get myself a new look by cutting it short. Well it was not really new as i had previously always maintained short hair. After the hair cut i was just lazying around. Plan was to prepare lunch but it was already one and was hungry.
Started reading Detective conan from where i left last. By 2 we decided to go for lunch ( me and my room mates) went to the forum andhra mess, ( we fondly call the andhra mess which is opposite forum as forum andhra mess, i really never cared for the name). Pradeep, Parun's friend wanted to buy FZ-S and after having lunch we went to Yahama show room. Me Pradeep and Parun. Test rode R-15, peeked at R-1 ( worth INR 11.5 lakh). and also drove FZ-S.
R-15 was one bike which i really wanted to ride for quite some time. It was a fun ride, though i felt continuosly driving R-15 might aggravate back pain. R-15 did not have the pick up that i was expecting it would have but was very stylish. FZ-S was a nice bike too though the pickup was definitely a let down.
We spent around 1 hour in the show room to decide which bike and what color would Pradeep be buying. After booking the bike (color Black with Yellow Streak FZ-S) we decided to have coffee. Went to CCD and spent the next 2 hours there. Solar eclipse was the coffee that we ordered. It was a decent one. Time was already 7, when we decided to come out.
From there went to Mega mart where Pradeep was buying some garments and for the next one hour spent the time in the showroom. i was talking to a new friend of mine on phone for the next one hour. She was a teacher at some high school and was telling tales of how school kids now-a-days inspired by movies are proposing. A kid in 9th class proposed to his class mate in her school and she was telling how she handled this situation.
In the mean while we started walking back to room. Traffic on the road leading from forum to my romo was heavy and jammed and we were to lucky to walk rather than coming by any vehicle. When we reached room, ManU was playing Fulham and Fulham was already leading 1-0.
Pradeep was Chelsea fan and Chelsea- Totenham match just started. finished watching this match and was disappointed Chelsea did not score any goal while Tottenham scored. Manu lost 0-2 to Fulham. Seems it has been 150 league matches now before ManU lost 2 consecutive matches.
Arsenal was playing NewCastle and they won 3-1 against them. That was when my friend told me there was Fed Vs Murray and Nadal Vs Roddick today. Put a night out waiting and watching both these matches, blogged about Nadal Vs Roddick and my whole day and now i go to sleep. Adios

Nadal Vs Roddick Indian Well, California SF2 -2009
Nadal Vs Roddick 2009-10 SF2 Indian Wells tournament.
Being a nadal fan i wanted to witness nothing but an outright win for Nadal. First set went without any casualty Nadal making most of the early break that he had earned and Roddick not able to break the first seed.
After watching the Murray Vs Fedex matach i was slightly cautious that Roddick might be clawing his way back into the match in the second set, but Nadal broke him to go up 2-1. I was hoping that Nadal would keep this break and go on to win the match but that was not to be. He immediately got broke and the score was levelled once again.
At this point andy was picking his game up and playing superbly. he was really proving that he would keep his serve. But 2 games later Nadal breaks Roddick again to go up 5-4 and this time it was a real see-saw match. Too many dueces, long rally (surprisingly roddick was playing rally well too), and net points.
It was a real classic encounter showing why Nadal is No.1 now. He runs from one end of the court to another without any worries for each point and in every rally. Finally serving for the match Nadal loses the point and scores get levelled again.
Andy displays one of the marvelous serve game he ever produced, even producing his fastest serve of the tournament so far to go up 6-5. Nadal not known for his serve game still keeps his serve with relative ease. He really played a good serve game this time around to ensure the match was going to the tie-breaker.
I was skeptical that Nadal might not win this tie-breaker and the match may go to the third set as Andy has a great serve and Rafa's serve is something that every tennis follower would know. Serving the first point in the tie-breaker Andy keeps it. Nadal wins his first point but loses his next. At this point it really looked that the game might go to third set, but Andy misses his serve next but keeps his other serve. Score now reads 4-3 to Roddick. Nadal keeps his serve and scores read 5-4. Nadal keeps his serve next to win the match with 6-4, 7-6(4).
Nadal really displayed some great serves and nice rallies and made Roddick eat his words who before the begining of the match was confident of owning the No.1 with his serve game.
In the middle of the match there were some moments where Andy looked like he had no answers for the questions asked by Nadal with his play. It was really Nadal all through. To this tremendous, never say die warrior, I bow and wish him good luck against Murray who seems to have a slight edge over him for the finals.
