Venus vanquished by Pironkova again

This is another history with Venus removed from the Wimbledon... Exciting..
Times of India, paper edition had the fresh-faced pro Tsvetana Pironkova (TP) comments: "I beat her two times, two consecutive years in this great tournament, now on this legendary court. It is just that I feel so relaxed here. I like the atmosphere. I feel she started well, then made a few errors. I think I played very well. I pushed her and you know really tested her."

Linking this to the “Four Stages for Learning Any New Skill" model theory. When TP was facing Venus initially in Wimbledon, she was in "Conscious Incompetence" stage, when she knew how Venus played but had not played with her and did not know how to defeat her. From her statement above, she has raised to the "Conscious Competence" stage where has defeated Venus couple of times, getting her slowly cognitive on the Venus skills and her weakness thus making her more calm, poised, relaxed. She will now move into "Unconscious Competence"though she will have to play with the same seriousness she started earlier.

Does money matter ?

It appears, I have been procrastinating.... The blog updates looks like "a week in my life", will stop doing this.

But interesting and fascinating thing i noticed and most of you have realized...... we as IT professionals/Dr.'s/EngineerMBA's are always after the so-called "Green bills" or "Gandhi Faced Note" ---- the Money. We simply do not realize, that we need it for Food to eat, place for shelter and clothes to wear. We keep slogging our rear end off, looking for material pleasures; not realizing the simple necessities of life.

We have a security for our colony we live in. Every night his wife comes in around 9:30 pm with cooked dinner. They sit down in the corner of the shelter, eat food, exchange a few lovely words and bid each other good night.

Thats life !!!! Live the day, enjoy the few inexpensive pleasures of life, care of each other and call it a day.
