Massa celebrates his 100th Grand Prix win in Valencia

Valencia proved to be a lucky race for Felipe Massa as he had made up for his last-race disappointment in Hungary by dominating Sunday’s European Grand Prix from start to finish. He had managed to finish ahead of F1 championship leader Lewis Hamilton and BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica.

A fine of 10,000 euros was put on the Brazilian when the stewards found that he had been released unsafely in the path of Force India's Adrian Sutil from the pit lane. It was tough race for Lewis as he had made up his mind that he would not be able to catch up with Massa which had a lead of about 5.67 secs, but managed to hold Robert Kubica for his 2nd position in the race.

Dramas for Kimi. On the 43rd lap when Kimi Raikkonen was released from his pit stop before the refueling hose had been detached from his F2008. A mechanic was struck by the red car’s rear wing in the melee, and as he was being stretchered to the medical centre, the second incident occurred when Raikkonen’s engine apparently exploded as he went into his 46th lap.

A Confused Pic !!!

Live the Life that still Exists !!!!!

When the school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches!
When we queued up in book depot, and got our new books and notes!
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays,
Yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
We learnt writing with slates and pencils,
and progressed to fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!
When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to color pencils and finally sketch pens!
When we started calculating first with tables
and then with Clarke's tables and advanced to Calculators and computers!
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
and returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat!
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors, Playgrounds,
under the trees and even in cycle sheds!
When all the colors in the world, decorated the campus on the second Saturdays!
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!
When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And neckties and socks rolled into balls!
When few played "kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket" in the confines of classroom!
Of fights but no conspiracies, of competitions but seldom jealousy!
When we used to watch live cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in intervals and lunch breaks!
When few rushed at 3:45 to "Conquer" window seats in our School bus!
While few others had "Big Fun", "peppermint", "kulfi", " milk ice !" and "sharbat !" at 4o Clock!
Gone are the days of Sports Day, and the annual School Day ,
And the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
And the most enjoyed holidays after them!
Gone are the days oOf tenth and twelfth standards,
when we spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!
We learnt,
We enjoyed,
We played,
We won,
We lost,
We laughed,
We cried,
We fought,
We thought.
With so much fun in them, so many friends, so much experience, all this and more!
Gone are the days when we used to talk for hours with our friends!
Now we don't have time to say a 'Hi'!and wish their birthdays
Gone are the days when we played games on the road!
Now we code on the road with laptop!
Gone are the days when we saw stars shining at night!
Now we see stars when our code doesn't work!
Gone are the days when we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms.....!
Gone are the days where we studied just to pass!
Now we study to save our job!
Gone are the days where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on ourhearts!!
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!
Gone are the days where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days where we got lectures from all!
Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now.....!!
Gone are the days but not the memories,
which will be lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever .....
Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more days to come in our Life!!
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE , DONT FORGET TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL EXISTS....

A Royal Treat for the British Crowd

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton the first British winner at Silverstone since David Coulthard in 2000, was utterly dominant as he lapped all but second-placed Nick Heidfeld in a BMW Sauber and the Honda of Brazilian Rubens Barrichello. A brilliant British Grand Prix victory in often treacherous conditions lifted him right back into contention for the world championship.

McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen had a disappointing race after starting on pole for the first time and came home fifth ahead of Renault's double world champion Fernando Alonso.

It was quiet not a good day for the Ferrari team as both the drivers had a lot of slips and turns. Massa who was sent out in wet tyres couldnt handle the car, taking the award for the most spins (around six) and the dizziest driver by the end. Kimi managed to get hold of his cars after a few laps and managed to surpass Heikki Kovalainen and Alonso to gain the 4th place. The contenders for the world championship points are still on the run as Kimi and Hamilton share 48 points each at the top spot after the British Grand Prix.

Bad day for Ferrari.. Hamilton wins in Monaco

A Bad week guys if you are a true ferrari fan. Chaos chaos chaos.... what else can I say about Monaco grand prix. Hamilton despite being 3rd on the starting grid managed to surpass kimi on the start . Massa clinched up to the first place before he slided off at the Ste Devote corner and handing the lead to Kubica for a long stretch before the pitstops. Hamilton walloped the wall hard on the exit while trailing Massa, Ironically, the early pit stop played into Hamilton's hands as others literally slipped up as he managed a comfortable first place.
Adrian Sutil was heartbroken and full of tears, as the German starting 18th for Force India enjoying the race of his life in fourth place until Kimi misjudged his braking and shunted him out at the tunnel exit with the chequered flag less than 10 minutes away.
