Rafa lost to Steve Darcis in first round of Wimbledon

By
Last year, It was Lukas Rosol who smashed Rafa with his wildest down the line forehand winners. Now it is Steve Darcis who defeated Nadal with his smooth and fine game.

At the beginning of the match I felt that Darcis has week game, he relied on only his quick serve. Weak forehand and backhand. No power in them. But as match progress, he started hitting with power, with confidence. And Nadal played his game quiet normally.

Please don't say he was not 100% fit. He was able to play his natural game from the beginning of the match. But only thing is , he might be nervous in first round because he didn't has any match practice after Roland Garros final.

Credit to Steve Darcis, who hold his nerves in the crucial moments and eventually made another upset for Rafael Nadal at wimbledon.
"Nobody was expecting my win today. OK, Rafa didn't play his best tennis today, but I knew the first match on grass is always difficult...I tried to do what I like to do, come to the net as soon as I can, not play too far from the baseline...I think I did great today...I think I don't know what to say right now I'm really happy." - Steve Darcis

"I don't know! The only thing I can say and I can do is keep working hard and keep giving me chances...I hope to have a few more years to play here and to play at the right level. I was not able to play great this year and last year obviously, but I will try.It's tough - but life continues. This is a sport of victories, not the losers. Nobody remembers the losers...and I don't want to remember the loss." - Rafael Nadal

"In sport these things can happen but it was a surprise." - Murray on Nadal loss

Meanwhile Murray and Federer reached second round.

Lithium Ion Polymer battery

By
There was an interesting advertisement from LAVA mobiles showing battery drain problem will be in history soon. The basic guess would be the mobile will be shipped with higher man battery or there is change in battery technology. So I went on to see the specs of Lava Iris Fuel here and found a new term in the battery part. It was Li Pol battery of 3000mAh. So what is Li-Pol? It is well known fact to every smart user that the growth in battery technology is almost negligible compared to the other departments like display, processor speed, memory, camera etc. The three key terms in battery are electrodes, electrolyte and electrolysis. The charge is accumulated at the electrodes from electrolyte during the electrolysis process. This is called charging and the accumulated charge will be discharged in discharging process. Li-ion (Lithium-Ion) batteries are the most popular and widely used types. In this type of battery, the electrolyte is in liquid form used as conducting medi...

Everyone get their slice - the story of politicians

By
The politicians visits all the middle class people's houses for votes. The same middle class people will wander around the MLA/MP's house to have justice. Wait, do people go only/mainly for justice? I don't think so, or anyone do think so. most of the meetings' agenda will be settlements, recommendations, illegal land acquisition, drink and drive cases etc. We very much know how the system works. Some X will give huge fund as party fund for some A party. The A party will accept it, why not? It's all about money bro. Party need money to maintain people. So they invite X. What next? X starts election canvassing by bearing the expenditure of boys (beers/biryanis), giving money for voters usually on per vote basis. Many voters will show the honesty here, we took money so we vote for X. And eventually X wins elections. Politicians are also humans, they expect to earn profits when they invest something. So they ask the government to start the everlasting projects ...
