Another disappointing loss to Federer

By
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.

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 ...
