Safin Mania....how much I wish Safin wins The Championship

Every time he is down and out, he does something more outrageous, enough to make people believe he is no more ....and than he comes out blazing guns at you, as if telling- there's something more than mere talent - you need, to succeed in life....

I have loved his game so much, I think 2005 AO semi-final was the best tennis match I ever saw, not only this but that was the only time I saw a game better than that of Federrer, coz Federrer was at his best in that match, but it was Safin who outclassed him with the best play his life, even gods rewarded him for that by bestowing him with AO 2005...... the only other time he held a trophy was when he beat the ledgendry "Pistol Pete" at peak.......speaks volumes for the guy

I am able to relate so very well with Safin ... for obvious reasons......I'd like to see him beat Federrer and top it with a Nadal win....it probably will be the last major win for him (though I wish the opposite)....but even if he doesn't do that, Safin has again proved me right with such a beautiful exhibition of his talents on the most difficult surface (for him) and in the most prestigious tournament.....

желаю вам счастья SAFIN

Skill schools for rural youth - would I like my child to be a part of it?

A lot of talks have been making rounds for years now, about the skill development of the rural youths so as to make them self reliant and able earners,unfortunately when it comes to the rural youth, the skills imparted are the ones, people look down upon, in our creatively stratified social world.
In any skill school , even if it's for rural youth, the traits taught should facilitate the youth to reach their potential and explore the limits thereafter.
What I feel is this that education is the biggest skill and with the booming economy it's a never before opportunity for us to exploit it to the maximum. I am myself sad at my own experience of been given to conceptualise a skill school for rural youth, aiming to make them self reliant- I made one and but alas! the skills I suggested were the ones I would never allow my own dear and near ones to be trained into.
I am writing all this because I am feeling guilty, firstly because I couldn't think innovatively, secondly I have no right to tell a rural youth,especially educated, to become a carpenter, tailor,plumber etc. etc. whereas his peer(equally or even less potent) is studying engg or some other professional courses somewhere else and third and most importantly I am not stoking the fire of the youths this way, thus empowering them with dreams, but am restricting even them.

I feel rural youth at present for sure needs the skill development schools, but skills have to be dream enablers- enterprenurship skills, language skills, computer hardware and software skills etc. are a few examples.

I welcome anyone who has an input here.................let's begin- for a change.

After all the day has come!!

Finally !! I have started to blog, I wished for so long and so hard to start writing....blogging.....but I wanted to wait till, I finally do it...coz you never know it with me.

I'll try to be true and write things which I feel are correct and being such a revolutionary thinker at times, I would like to pen my heart down, for those views need to be....

I hope blogging will not merely be a vent for my emotions, but a place where they get into a discernible shape......
