Bollywood dancing ?
I am a huge fan of this show,So you think you can dance aired on Fox. The dance show throws several challenges for aspiring dancers,with different styles,forms,routines. The show is very competitive with highly skilled contestants. This week,as a part of a challenge the contestants were asked to perform an Indian style pronounced Bollywood. Are you kidding me ? I can't believe we are going global,if i was skeptical before, on us showcased on world stage,i am not in disbelief any more. And on the dance itself it was choreographed by Nakul and performed by Joshua (African American) and Kate (Asian American). God this couple can dance,I always used to wonder when they do waltz,jazz,salsa,chacha,tango (to name a few). Are they dancing well,can i assess them in my eyes ? I sure can now.The performance was phenomenal for someone who would have had only a couple of hours training.I can only take my hat off.Hey take a bow,you too.

Change of Guard
I am exhausted seeing the wimbledon finals.I am a die hard fan of Fed express,the ever graceful champ.I have never doubted if he was the greatest player on grass,if not on earth.But to be honest,i feel Federer is not as good as Sampras on grass.Nadal is an exceptional talent,the kid is too good.Lets face it,he deserves it today.But still,I cannot see Sampras broken so many times on grass like Federer today.I donot know if Federer was carrying a niggle but the champ looks ever so vulnerable two years running.I don't know if its age or mononucleosis ?.If he doesn't bring his "A+" game i cannot see him winning again on grass,or against Nadal atleast.For that matter,Djokovic is good on hard courts and Nadal is proving to have taken over clay and grass.The truth of the matter is,there is a change of guard and there is a little crop which is coming along.Nadal and Djokovic are showing,yes its possible,champ can faulter,like what Fed did to Pete on 2001.But on a different note,I thought Fed was unbelievably resilient today.It just showed me,don't ever under estimate the heart of a champion.Well this leaves me thinking,can he surpass the coveted 14/7 of Sampras.Is he the best ever ?.He leaves unanswered and with a bit of tears atleast for today.Well for fans like me,i hope he comes back swinging hard,for now the champ is challenged and dethrone and there is a change of guard.
