World of Sports this Week

Highs

Federer wins 3rd consecutive US Open Title (I loved his 5-0 17 minute first set rally against Roddick)

Schumacher wins his 90th race at Italian Grand Prix. Sigh! He also announced he'll be retiring after this season (but he is close to his 8th Championship title! A Tifosi!!!)

Lows
Clemson (ranked 18th) lost to an unranked Boston College by 1 point in College Football (Jay Dean couldn't get that one kick and the performance by defense was just pathetic!!!)

Carolina Panthers lost to Atlanta Falcons in NFL (Damn! Now Dsouza will brag about it all the time)

Don't Care
Baseball, Womens basketball, Eng-Pak Cricket series

Chapter 6: Quick Grand-a-view Canyons

The Grand Canyon We left Williams after having omlettes and Cowboy-Coffee for breakfast at a downtown diner. For the first time, I saw speed limits of 75mph in USA. Nice to be "officially" above 70! When we reached the point where we could see the Grand Canyon, Pal and Dsu ditched us to be first to see the GC. We were still searching for parking but found one spot at some distance ahead. So, it was a little further from the actual point to see the view. While heading towards the point, we actually found this *spot* which was about 50 feet inside the Canyon. Instead of going to the point, we explored a 360-degree view from over the spot. We ditched the ditchers this time! Sorry, no tip for you! Our entire day went by sight-seeing the Canyons. Sunset part was really beautiful but it was chilly enough NOT to enjoy it! By the time we were done with the *tour*, we were really hungry. We decided on a decent restaurant with some fine wining-n-dining. To serve us, we had a wierdo wa...

Patriotic Fool

Before they take off the link (I hope not! :D ), I'd like to share a story from CNN-IBN Live which says Taj may not make it to the 7 wonders of the new world. Apparently, there is this new online based survey to find the new 7 wonders. CNN-IBN editor Divisha Gupta thinks Taj is at risk. Divisha says that Taj is at 20th place as of now and we have only 1 more year to vote to top 7. From the New7Wonders website, I do not see any "as-of-now" rankings yet. I wonder how she found it. All I saw (and she may have seen) was an ALPHABETICAL list of "wonders" listed. Apparently, Taj starts with a "T" and is 20th on the list. ROTL!!!! I can't believe they have such editors in their news agency. Hahahahaha!

Pudchya Warshi Lavkar Ya!

Ever wonder what happens to the Ganpati idols immersed after Ganesh Chaturthi ? Scientifically, it should dissolve but we are not talking about science here. Its religion, faith! We should see extraordinary things happening beneath the sea. Just like this! ;) My favorite part is the M.I. theme. What's yours? (via The Eternal Optimist )
