"NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE HEART OF A CHAMPION".<br /><br /> The champion in question is Roger Federer who i think will soon be earning a very funny but apt nickname.. GOAT-"Greatest Of All Time". It was the third round of the Australian Open 2009 with the Fedex playing Tomas Berdych , a very accomplished professional. The head to head predicted only one outcome with federer having won their last 7 meetings without dropping a set.<br />Lets get to it. Within an hour and a half , the GOAT was 2 sets down and staring down the barrel.<br /><br /> The third set got under way and fed broke only to be broken back straight away and i admit i thought that was it .This was not going to be his day.But as all champions do, the fed dug deep, very very friggin deep and got the third set. scrapping through the fourth set , he managed to edge it 6-4 and it was all square. The last set was a formality with roger wrapping up the stunning comeback.. People might argue that berdych was playing with a thigh injury, but i say that u gotta be tough to be a champion.He might have got lucky, but you have to be there to be lucky!!<br /><br /> 2 sets down and 3 games away from the biggest shock of his life, how can the guy even think of winning. He said afterwards in his press conference " you gotta hang in there, there's no other solution" . But think of it , the guy has 13 majors and has the highest prize money in the sport. How can it not hurt his pride to be in such a situation and afterall the guy is human.. common.. the thought of losing must have crossed his mind atleast for a second. Would his pride sustain such a bitter blow considering the loss would have dropped him down to no 3 in the world rankings. just come to think of it. The man has held the top spot for a record 237 "CONSECUTIVE" weeks . Surely his mind would cripple especially since his heartbreaking loss in lat years Wimbeldon final to his nemesis nadal having come back from 2 sets down there as well and losing 9-7 in the fifth..The world would say" THIS IS THE END".<br /><br /> The thing is, the guy is human , he makes the most ridiculous plays, commits the most elementary errors, has loads of over confidence...BUT...he is a CHAMPION!! Its a Champions pride that drives him on. its not over until a champion says it is.<br /> NEVER NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE HEART OF A CHAMPIONPRINCE HEKTORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15132878664846869528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460171667489443410.post-78242204845404649972008-07-25T22:24:00.004+05:302008-07-25T22:53:39.305+05:30Myself Defeated!!!t'was a pathetic day, which began with me not being able to respond to my ridiculously loud phone alarm in the morning and one which ended with me accidentally changing my blog colour to a most repulsive GREEEN!!! The events in the middle of the day were equally appalling..I was made to feel like a fool for the first time in my life when i sat for my IE(Industrial Electronics) and ended up not feeling too bad about it... kinda strange rite.. well some part of the indiffferent emotions that i experienced after the exam was that i expected something like this to happen but nowhere close to such magnitude...<div> It was like somebody telling you" look u dont know that, look u dont know this, i dont care care even if u need to know it or not, the thing is.. that u DONT know!!!"'.. i bet that the donkey faced bastard who set our paper must have loved the prospect of ppl ending up like " WOW, that was the biggest joke of the year".. Indeed it was , i saw my friends in class looking at me with the expression of "WHAT NOW!!!".. Every exam that i've taken till now, i've always felt there was some point in it.... something of ateast trivial importance attached to it... not this one.. this one was meant to be a joke and it was !!!! </div><div><br /></div><div>well lets talk about the better stuff now.. i read nikhils blog and was pretty impressed with the attention he gave to tiny details in his post titled " THE ART OF SMOKING".. I played with the visual layout settings of my blog adding a "MY BLOG LIST".. and i must admit gow's writing is some of the best i've come across.. it really touches the heart...every word of it.. although i was not very impressed with her for having my name as "ANA"( malayalam translation= elephant) in her blog list... i.m sure she'll change it though... "PRINCE HEKTOR" sounds royal, doesn't it...</div><div> OK folks , me ready to fall off to sleep, so its ADIOS!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>ALL HAIL KING ROGER!!!!</div><div> <br

LESSON WELL LEARNED!!!it struck me all of a sudden , this unforgettable experience that i had in school,one that changed my character for ever..i guess u can call it what u want... a great learning experience, an embarrassing one, an unforgettable one.. i think it falls under all these categories... well lets have a drastic rewind .... say about 9 years............<br /><br />VENUE:OOTY<br />DAY: MONDAY(yeah sure i even remember the day)<br /><br />i was this very thin kid( believe it or not, its damn true....), very engrossed in studies , studies and only studies.. i find it very strange when i think of it now.. makes me feel stupid.. we used to play all sorts of stupid games.. one of them being the infamous "GIRL TOUCH" .. well in those days we believed a girl should be kept at some distance from oneself, even the accidental touch would initate the game... we had to get rid of the girl touch, so we touch any unsuspecting kid around to transfer it.. but here lies the catch... if the guy has his legs or fingers crossed.. the girl touch bounces off without doing any harm!!! i know ,it seems so ridiculous!!!<br /><br /> one thing i dont do know but something i did a lot of back then... was mugging.. in more simple terms.. learning something by heart.. i did an awful lot of that , i thought of it as this god given gift, which only the "SPECIAL" are previleged to have!!! everybody used to do it back then i guess , after all , it was only 5th class..teachers used to ask questions everyday in class and as u must have guessed , i would just blurt out all the answers like a puppet.. i even used to remember the order of the sentences...( strange i just try and understand the concept now.. the rest are my own creative language...)<br /><br />well lets jump to the Day rite.. it was a monday which seemed very inconsequential... teachers would ask questions and i would be among the very few to answer them.. the others would look at me with this "i wish he's taught a lesson some day" expression stretched over their faces.. i was a very haughty kid back then.. everything got off to the same start, the teacher walked in(anita miss was her name), noted down the attendance and started her questions.. i dont exactly remember what the question was .. but i do know for certain that i knew the answer just like federer always knows how to WIN!!!<br /><br /> nobody answered , the chance came to me , i stood up with my chest held high, much like Nadal does his fist pumping ,, it was such a show of arrogance and contempt..i remember pausing after every sentence to have a look around the class , enjoying the sorry expression on their faces... i think anita miss must have noted it too, coz after i finished the answer, she gave me this big smirk as though she meant to say "Oh yeah, are u that good champ??"... out came the bullet, she asked me a question from the same topic, slightly twisting the concept...i dont remember what exactly she asked.. i ended up telling her "miss, thats not in the text book".. she smiled again and gave me the answer.. it was so very simple.. it was rite there in the answer that i had just blurted out before, only that it did not strike me...<br /><br /> Now came the painful part, she gave me a chalk and asked me to write on the blackboard exactly as she said.. i'd heard it before.. so i knew exactly what it meant..<br /> "PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL"<br /><br />i somehow managed to smile, though it was quite evident to everyone that i was shattered inside..the rest i dont remember.. i just remember burying my head in the pillow that night and crying ever so softly,lest anyone hear my misery...<br /><br />i still remember it quite clearly... it was a dagger straight in the heart.. the wound has healed but some wounds dont heal compeletely, it can still prick u .. i cant understand how i could've been such an arrogant snob.. well i've chnaged now... i am a nice person i think...<br /><br />As roger says "ITS NICE TO BE IMPORTANT , BUTS IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE"PRINCE

facts..<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">well these are the rules that mighty aneas( a.k.a ganesh) has introduced.. coz he happens to be my blood kin(actually Hektor and Aneas are characters in TROY, They are cousins)<br /><br />rules:</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">1. each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">2. people who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">3. at the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names. don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">4. if you fail to do this within eight hours, you will not reach third series or attain your most precious goals for at least two more lifetimes.<br /><br />here goes...<br /><br />1.I am a normal guy with with not-so-normal weight . i'd love to lose weight , although gnks saz i'll lose my LOOKS!!!<br /><br />2.I love south indian food, especially the tradional dosa and chutney and ofcourse chicken<br /><br />3.I dont make it a point to choose my dresses with great care. as long as it does not have a pink, yellow or a green, its fine.<br /><br />4.Fantasy is one thing which absoulutely turns me on..David Gemell being my favourite author.. i'd love to ride a dragon one day( the idiot gnks saz the poor beast will collapse under my weight). i'd also love to fight alongside with the Tai-gethen( the elven warrior elite),although gnks would say elves would end up cursing themselves!!!<br /><br />5 .The Honda CRV is my dream machine . i always dream about myself driving with my ..... sitting beside me...i had this dream during the wee hours of today.. so it will come true, the CRV and ....( u know what)<br /><br />6.I hate it when Roger loses...he is without doubt the greatest human being alive.<br /><br />7.Me along with gnks love to say " HA, EPPO ETHI!!". it translates to "When did u reach". we say it almost every five minutes in class .its something which helps us forget the absolute disaster which is DC!!<br /><br />8. I hate it when i dont understand something, it is one of the worst feelings !!!<br /><br />thats it!!!!<br /><br /></span></span>PRINCE HEKTORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15132878664846869528noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460171667489443410.post-2996535058309882242008-04-11T21:07:00.004+05:302008-04-11T21:54:13.153+05:30HELPLESSNESS!!!well .. like i said .. in a very good mood today , so i feel like writing something..<br />our stupid exams just got over, the reason i say stupid, its as obvious as "why the sun rises in the east", "why cant i fly on dragonback, " "why the chicken crossed the road"!!! somethings just dont have an answer,no arguements, hands down, examinations are SICK!!! . The worst part is, i just study for the goddamn thing all the time, even though my brain is telling me , every inch of the way,what an idiot i am being, eventhough i keep harping on the fact that exams are stupid!!! i dont know y, i just study!!! i've never felt this way before, i always thought that exams were kind of a necessary toilet break or something..lol..., but this year, after i came to know about this stunning paper know as DIGITAL COMMUNICATION(DC), my brain has just lost its capacity to bear with the utmost difficulties, coz i seriously dont think there can be anything as mentally challening and tiresome as this !!!!! well part of the reason being that we have an absolute WHIZ(read as wiward) of a professor( his degree being SMOKING CRAP!!). His teaching is so divine and so pure and so fulfilling and so entertaining and so infromative and so energetic and so MY ASS!!!! i mean i could just watch someone wearing a PINK shirt, PURPLE underwear and a yellow TIE with maggot CHAPS in his mouth riding a FLUROSCENT BIKE and singing "MEIN AISA KYOON HOON", for 3 pi hours( 'pi' can take any value) instead of being in class. Seriously this is something one has to experince to understand the degree of endurance and courage that they possess to be able to keep emotions in check and refraining from mouthing obseniteis.. well if u CAN, then u must be a SAINT!!!<br /><br /> Whats the point in writing such an exam when u are doing it agianst ur will!!! well as i said before, somehow i DID ,like i do every FUCKIN TIME( see for urself.. even writing about it makes me SWEAR).well now my good mood has vanished into the smoke as thick and STINKING as the one which surrounds our WALKING CHIMNEY(i think u must have figured it out by now).y?? just thinking of the fact that i am gonna have to study that for atleast 3 more months and write 2 exams!!! and i am sure ,no matter what i feel about it and what i write about it, i'll just end up studying it and writing it ...PATHETIC rite!!!<br /><br /> thats about it for the day, my DC text seems to be luring me to evergreen bliss and ecstacy, to the PURE feeling of HELPLESSNESS.. u cant enjoy it, its something that only the very elite few like me get..OH WAIT BABY, I'LL PICK YOU UP RITE NOW AND START ...... what were u thinking ......READING :D !!!!<br />GOD DAMN IT!!!PRINCE HEKTORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15132878664846869528noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460171667489443410.post-88606687383978966972008-04-11T20:36:00.003+05:302008-04-12T10:34:41.939+05:30yeah finally i can get down to blogging.. technically it only just ansewring a questionaire<br />thats a start atleast , so here we go.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">.

yipeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! . i just finished the last boon in the " legends of the raven series"- demonstorm by james barclay. he has come to be ny best author after who else but the irreplacable DAVID GEMELL!!!. its had everything from elves , dragons, barbarians, mages, cavalry and everything else to make it a must read for any fantasy lover.. i particularly liked the "taigethen", the elite elven hunter trios," auum" their leader was awesome.. barclay describes his fight scenes with such heroism and power, that putting the book down doesn't even enter ur thought process.. well all this was in the afternoon.. had to complete the stupid records after that, such a waste of time and energy for something which is made to look so insignificant and trivial.i can't remember a single teacher who actually "LOOKED" at my record.. all of them merely practice putting their signatures in the last page.. that hogged up a vast majority of my time in the afternoon.. evening came a welcome relief, i just threw all the records back into the shelf and planted myself in front of my PC. i read through a couple of reviews of the INTEL CORE2 quad E6750.. i have almost zeroed down on it as the baby to succed my AMD 3200 beast. gnks actually showed me his wish list and asked me to leave out the PS3 part, funny really considering that what remained was a 21" high def monitor, an NVIDIA 8800ULTRA GPU....... this guy really has a sense of humour.<br /> thats the biggest blog i have written for some time, so naturally i am spent( :D)<br />ADIOS,<br />fear not , HEKTOR COMMANDS!!!!!!!!!PRINCE HEKTORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15132878664846869528noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460171667489443410.post-62598406123634304002007-03-31T10:22:00.000+05:302007-03-31T11:38:05.409+05:30THE "300 EFFECT"<span style="font-family: webdings;">finally i can get down to writing my first blog entry of any kind suppressing all my sleepiness(i played a lot of basketball yesterday).me, hari, petti and vishnu went to see a movie yesterday, the much talked about "300" and i will never forget the experience!!!!! the day i reaslied the power of men and the valour of a spartan warrior.i had read about spartans combats and war strategies in the book titled " SPARTAN" written by massimo valerio manfredi.The shouts of "SPARTANS" by the king leonidas are still ringing in my ears and the sight of the "IMMORTALS" still haunt me.it was all set up my the drive from college to the theatre , hari with his "CONTROLLED AGGRESSION" whisked through the busy roads and my adrenaline was already pumping and hitting unexpected levels. after a brief wait outside the theatre, petti got us the tickets and we stepped inside the theatre where we were joined by anand, one of vishnu's friends and then the fun began, hari was kinda head-banging alredy and petti was restless.the movie began after a stupid series of advertisements and the roar was deafening!!!!!!! all was sort of mild and sedate till the scene where king leonidas kicked the persian messenger into the pit, woh, what impact !!!!!!!!!!!! then the war began and all of us watched open mouthed, marvelling at the agility and the skill of the spartans and the interval came as a welcome relief to me as i was very<br />thirsty. after two packets of frooti, the movie continued.i grew sad as the spartans fell one by one and finally leonidas himself was downed by something like 5000 arrows. thus ended the best experience of my life.<br />after the movie , we went to christ nagar school and played basketball. just to prolong the "300 effect", i tried a shot from the half way line and lo!!! it went in , A MOST REMARKABKE SWISH!!!!!!!<br />any of u haven't seen the movie, put down what ever u are doin and u get to ur nearest theatre!!!!!!!<br />all hail king leonidas and his almighty 300!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /></span>PRINCE HEKTORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15132878664846869528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460171667489443410.post-61577239125181389942007-03-07T18:05:00.000+05:302007-03-07T18:13:31.296+05:30the beginning<span style="font-family: arial;">hello everybody, this is mah first blog entry of any kind,the reason for that being , ahem ahem.....
