Another disappointing loss to Federer

Federer bowed to his opponent Tommy Robredo who registered his first win against Federer in the last 11 encounters.
I kind of feel like I beat myself, you know, without taking any credit away from Tommy.Clearly he was making sure he was making many balls. It was up to me to make the difference and I couldn't. I kind of self destructed, which is very disappointing, especially on a quicker court. Your serve helps you out. You're going to make the difference somewhere. I just couldn't do it.  It was a frustrating performance today.It’s not that much of a disappointment at the end of the day. If I'm playing like this, I'm not going to beat Rafa, or Kohlschreiber, for that matter… I was fighting with other things in my match today.  Not thinking too far ahead of myself, especially the level I was playing at." - Roger Federer

Serious statement from Federer. Finally he expressed the reasons for his loss. I think he lose most of the times because of his UE(Unforced Errors). Federer missed many easy points today. But credit to Tommy Robredo who played some decent forehands.
I beat the best guy of all time... in a place that he loves to play, I'm delighted. I made the break points, he did not," - Tommy Robredo

Even Robredo not believed that he is going to win. He gave 16 break point opportunities and federer was able to convert just 2 and it is awful 13% of conversion rate which is very very frustrating and disappointing.

So FEDAL quarters done and it is Nadal vs Robredo and Ferrer vs Gasquet in the quarters.

MeeBhoomi - A good initiative from AP Govt.

We bring nothing when we come to this world and we take nothing when we died. But still, what we have in the life will be valuable at least for the time we live. Wait, why I'm saying this now, because most of our valuable time is well spent on the land issues. And there is so many things need to happen to know the present owner of the land. Recently AP (Andhra Pradesh) government announces a portal for public to access all the land details.

Who we are? And what we are doing here on the Earth?

Ever wonder who we are? and what exactly we are doing on this Earth, the lonely planet revolving around this furious Sun along with a bunch of bros (I mean planets). Wait, this Earth? Do we have more than one Earth? Who knows, in this humongous vast space, can't we find another Earth? The probability is surely greater than Zero. Humans are evolving like anything. We invented the fire, the wheel and what not? We make our lives easier day by day. Sometimes, I feel we are also like ants.  Ants? Yes, Ants. Most of the time, many of us will not observe their movement. Perhaps we are also like ants or any creature and we are being ignored/watched by some of the invisible entities of outer space. Sometimes, I feel we are machines embedded with intelligence. Just like the robots embodied with Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are also programmed and delivered to Earth. The programmed chip may be called as DNA. A question comes in my mind, how come our children ...

Google's Stadia, the GAME changer!

Having a high-end computer or any one of the boxes (Xbox, PlayStation) is not necessary to play high end games in the near future. Recently Google announced a new product from its armory related to gaming at GDC2019, called Stadia . Stadia offers to stream the game in the web browser itself. The game will be loaded and run on the server side, only the video will be played on your computer/mobile. This can be called as Cloud Gaming or Game as a Service (GaaS). All we need is a decent internet connection and probably a subscription for Stadia. No need for any boxes. The traditional premium boxes will be second thought. Since they are expensive for a casual gamer, Stadia will be the best option to experience big games. High tech spec GPUs, high speed processors and all the expensive hardware part will be saved. Hmm, it sounds awesome!! This is another master plan by Google to rule the digital world. Already Google and it's echo system is way more penetrated...
