Ok, it is official
Blogging is not for me :) Reading blogs is totally different from writing them. I have to call it quits because
1) Not much to talk about from my side, except sports
2) I couldnt write to save my life. Its a whole different animal and involves a lot of creative thinking which really hurts my brain.
3) Not enough patience to sit and write
4) Blogging time could be used for more living :)
Its good that I tried this and found that I am no blogger. Having tried this, I have nothing but respect for all other bloggers out there. How you guys do it anyway? After each post I feel as if I just finished talking to myself, which really freaks me out :)
I will continue to read blogs and leave comments. And that would be it. Sweet... :) ¶ 9:21 AM 3 comments

Heart break at Winged Foot and Time Coverstory
After a superb recovery on the 17th hole, Phil Mickelson's ran into tough luck in the 18th. Colin Montgomery, who shared the lead with Phil going into the 18th completed his round and was +6. Phil was the sole leader going into the 18th followed by Geoff Ogilvy who was trailing by 1. All Mickelson had to do is to get a par to wrap up his I U.S. Open, third Major on his way to Phil Slam and half way through a real Grand Slam.
Unfortunatley he drove the shot infront of the club house and far away from the green. A similar situation like on the 17th. I was hoping that he will put the ball in the green in the 2nd shot and finish it off with a par. Even if things go wrong he could shoot a bogey and go for a playoff tomorrow.
The second shot on 18th found a tree and came back to the exact same spot where he started. I was still hopeful that a bogey is a real possiblity. The third shot put the ball in the bunker. The fifth shot, where I was hoping for a miracle, just teased the hole and went passed it. Tough, tough watching that. A double bogey and Phil handed over the U.S. Open to Geoff Ogilvy who was watching this on the TV. It happened so fast, no one could even comprehend what just happened. It will take some time for the enormity of the result to sink in.
This U.S. Open will be known for Phil giving it away than Geoff Ogilvy winning it. I am not taking anything away from Ogilvy but thats how it will be known in history. After the Massacre in Winged Foot, this years open will be The Murder at Winged Foot. It happens... I hope he gets over this quick and goes to the British Open on top of his game.
This weeks Time coverstory is about the Bombay Boom. Alex Perry writes how Bombay represents the sweeping changes going across the country and where we are headed as a nation. Thes story is primarily intended for an American/International audience and doesnt tell anything that we (Indians) dont know already. A good read.

ah...well, this sucks
India went down to Australia 4-1 in the Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament. S.Thyagarajan in The Hindu says it is more because of our listless play than Aussies dominance. Hope we regroup soon and win out the rest of the games.

College World Series update and Mickelmania
The CWS is underway in Omaha. We made an early exit in the regionals. Neverthless, as I said ours is young team and we will be back next year.
Clemson, Oregon State, North Carolina, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Rice, Cal-State Fullerton, Miami made it to the final eight. The SEC sent in as many as 7 teams to the regionals and only Georgia made it to the CWS. ACC took half the available spots. The double elimination round will go on till June 22nd.
Phil Mickelson made a steady start on his campaign in the U.S. Open. He is very much in the hunt going into the third day. There was a feature in ESPN on how the fans at U.S. Open is having a Mickelmania. Click on the related videos link on the right. ¶ 10:24 AM 0 comments
