Goodbye to da champ

Friends I am very dissappointed to hear that Schumi is retiring from F1 scene. There are only three races left for this season and the title is just points away. Personally I feel that he should have carried on for 1 more yr but.......... anyways as a said in my earlier blog this is his yr and he has proven that once again, only two pts seperate alonso and MS. Many ppl claimed that he is not the greatest sportsperson of all time but I would naturally disagree with that, they say he is cold, ruthless, arrogant but I would say he has won 7 championships, 90 wins, 68 poles, 153 podium finishes etc etc etc. No other driver in the history of F1 is greater than MS. Yes he is ruthless on the job, aren't so many of us???? That does not mean he is a bad man and he has not always gone againts fia rules, few times he has broken those and got penalised for the same. Does any body know that ferrari had won in 1974 before winning the title in 2000?? No I guess well he is the guy because of which it was possible, he has changed fortunes for ferrari on and off the track. I don't thibk there will be eeever a driver like schumi. An era has come to an end with his retirement, F1 will never be the same without him. anyways all the best schumi!!

With regards,

Salute to the Army



ive just come from srinagar- was on vacation, people call it heaven on earth. snow cap mountains, greenery all around, house boat etc etc... but the most facinating thing that i found there was our INDIAN ARMY , the CENTRAL RESERVE POLICE FORCE

(CRPF), the Border Security Force (BSF).

the place was filled with these dudes. every road, every corner, every gully you could see the men in green with ak's on

thier shoulder and thier eyes glued to all the vehicles passing by. temp in summer is abt 20-30 C but in winters it goes in -ive but these guys are always there, standing on two sides road watching people watching vehicles looking for suspicious activities. We even got stopped by couple of them asking all guys to step down from the vehicle and then asking us questions like whr r u frm & hows kashmir etc. these guys really work hard for the country just for few grands, we should be really thankful to these people becoz of them standing there we are sleeping here.



we were returning from phalgaum (place is around 100km from srinagar) and i it was damn hot so i told the driver to stop for picking up some mazaa and to our luck as we resumed we got stuck behand militry vehicles and they were carrying some
ammunations in those trucks so they wont allow us to go ahead. for around 30 mins we were travelling behind them 50kmph finally they turned right and we took left.


this pic right here i took at some temple (4got da name). these guys r from CRPF (gujrat, rajishtan area)

Only Himesh!!

Okay this page is dedicated to my fav Music Guy - Himesh -
Himesh followers can read on - Others can just F Off

You can call me filmy but I must admit I like Music & Style of Himesh Reshammiya. No Doubt that he sings with a nasal voice and has a beard and wears a cap all the time and shows 1 kg attitude but his music still rocks. He has given the music industry hit after hit (some 26 hits songs in 3 or so months) songs all the time. He has been a revelation for Bollywood music scene, we have to admit his music is super. I have seen very few people giving credit to other people, but Himesh has always said that Salman has given him a break and he is willing to do any films for sallu. He started of his carrer with television direction & production but music was his passion and he got a break in Pyaar kiya toh darna kya.

People say that all his songs sound the same but some of the following films that nobody knows are composed by him
1. Pyaar Kiya toh darna kya
2. Tere Naam
3. Humraaz
4. Maine pyaar kyu kiya etc


Just because he has started singing now everyone thinks that all his songs are same & no body knows that Tere Naam (Highest selling album) was composed by him. All his songs are hammered again and again hence we think that all the songs sound same.

People say that he sings from his nose. No doubt he has a nasal voice but the songs that he sings are high pitch ones, so he needs to produce that kinda voice and we must not forget that he is a composer not a singer. But I agree that lately he is singing a lot and it is becoming kinda monotonous.

I don't know what is the reason behind his jacket and topi but all these things are creating a kind of Hype for him and he is getting free publicity. If people hated him so much then why his songs top the chart??

People think that Himesh produces 1 song and remixes it into 4 - I like to add here that according to my knowledge Himesh does not remix any song but DJ Aktar does it and its not Himesh who demands for them its the audience and film Producers.

One thing Id like to add 1 -ive point is that he is trying to over publisice - I mean shooting for his own album is okay but appearing in film songs is too much - Other actors are sidelined because of his presence.

Whatever people say I will keep lisening and enjoying his music.

2006????????

Ok 2006 season is on and alonso again has a good start. NO PROBLEMS schumi is not far behind. P2 in first race is not bad considering last years performance but we have to admit one thing that ferrari have done most of thier testing here in Bahrain so they had a slight edge over other teams. This Sat Malasyain GP will give us some idea how fast really ferrari is.

Before my predictions for this season lets look at some of the rules that have been changed for 2006
1.Tyre rule:- Tyre changes per race have been brought back to 7 tyres per race from 1 tyre per race.
2.Engine:- To reduce the power and price this year all the teams have to race with a V8
(or restricted power V10's) engine instead of V10's that they were allowed last year.
3. Qualifying:-For 2006 the single-lap system used in recent years is replaced be a new three-part, knockout format, with multiple cars on track throughout the qualifying hour, which is split into two 15-minute sessions and a final 20-minute session, with five-minute breaks in between.

Now comes the real part WHO WILL WIN?????
Lets analyse top teams one by one:-
1. Ferrari:- Ferrari have a decent line up with schumi and massa. Frankly speaking I don't think Fellipe Massa is worth that ferrari place but time will tell. Schumi is in full force this time he wants to win this title at any cost this year and end his carrer with a high. Ferreri as we all know is not just a sidy team they will fight back and hit those renaults and mclarens hard. If massa sticks to his job of supporting ferrari I feel ferrari have a good chance of winning the title. I feel in 2-3 races it will be clear that which car has the pace and then its upto team mgmt and reliability of the car to win.
2. Renault:- With Alonso and fichicella renault have an excellent driver line up best according to me. Believe me if Fichecella clicks all the top teams will have a hard time. No one has any doubts that the car is execllent provided by Mr Bavettori.
3. Mclaren:- McLaren looked a bit low this year but in baharain they proved that they were also among the top teams. Raikkonen came 3 from last imagine if he would have qualified 3 then?? According to me Mclarens have the most reliable and best paced car in F1 today.Only if they tell Montoya to shut up and drive I feel Mclaren have a good chance too.
4.Honda:- Ok so we have jenson Button (who has never won any race) and Rubins Barrichello(who can never win any race on his won) with an excellent Honda Car. If Honda had got the right driver combinations they would have rocked, anyways thier package is good and you never know.

Finally if you ask me who will put my money on then it will be obviosly be FERRARI. Micheal is desparate this time to win and if I know his Killer instinct he will hit the nail hard and will make his team work so hard to win this year. Ferrari have a decent car and a gr8 driver with killer instincts so GO SCHUMI GO

here we go (for F1 fans)

4 days to go for a brand new F1 season and im really optimistic this time. Ok so last year all teams and fia was against ferrari but still they managed a good 3rd position, remember when Mclaren was down in 2004 they were 5th in constructors and thier best driver (Kimi) was 7th in drivers, so ferrari have comparatively done quite well, again if the tyre rule would not have been changed to one tyre - ferrari would have repeated history. Guess what this year again the rule has changed back to 7 set of tyres per race!!!

If we look at last years performance i feel that mclaren were better than renault but were really inconsistent in the beginning hence lost out and obviously they had Mr Montoya who is the most ded(oversmart) driver who never wins and does not let other also win Piece of advise for Rom Dennis remove Montoya and be 2nd in F1. I would also like to congratulate Michael for driving an excellent Hungarian Grand Prix, despite having a inferior car and bad set of tyres he came second and gave a good scare to kimi, everyone at that moment taught that ferrari were back but they were never really. Lets get the things straight - entire world was against ferrari they were winning titles after titles and no other team even came close to beating them so fia taught that if they cannot be beaten on the field lets trick them off field and they started changing rules. Every one knew that bridgstone and ferrari had gone such a long way in developing tyres that lasted upto 20 laps so they changed that rule. I would like to ask Max Mosely that why did he change back the rule this year and who will be responsible if the tyres burst and drivers die??you just don't change the rule to let one team down without thinking about the effects and also fabio bevvetory(renault manager) or whatever his name is that when all the teams were ready to change back to 7 tyre rule why did he say no? may be he wants to win the races and kill his drivers. Perhaps that is why alonso is going to Mclaren next year. Also in the US gp according to me ferrari was 100% correct, just because the other teams were not ready does not mean that you change the track and start adding chikanes. Lets suppose that tomorrow renault comes and says that thier straight line speed is not good so convert all the fast lanes to curves, like this all the teams will built circuits according to thier need and race alone. You have to be prepared for everything in F1 you cannot complaint that my tyres are not ready or my engine is not ready, if you are not ready please leave the field.

Current year seams to be more promising for Ferrari with new rules and V8 engine.

Watch out this space for my predictions for 2006.
