Watching Roger Federer play tennis makes you feel like it's an easy game. Until you get out there and try and hit the same way. But then, so many have voiced this opinion ...to me the way his racket glides will always be : "Poetry in Motion".

This week and the next , lesser gods(!) are playing at the mountain view open. Just watching them makes you want to hit the tennis ball better . So much consistency . I wonder , of course , if i'll ever get to be as good at hitting the tennis ball that way.

Then there was JavaOne, a host of individuals who have worked hard everyday , so others have an easier life. Inventors mix with users and there is no hard line between the two. One inventor is a user to another's invention.Immense talent flowing in all directions. Nothing stands still. The mind is an equipment that hasn't come with a manual. Pity !

The universe is full of gifted individuals and people who have a way with things.Why do we feel excited when others achieve things that are way beyond our own? I think it's because we have a connection. Our bodies and minds are packets of atomicity which we are able to recognize. I think super-beings will be able to get out of these atomic packets and feel the universe as an "I". The point of intersection where "I" is separated from "Them" is very interesting. Vicarious pleasure is impossible without this separation , but, it's also not possible with the separation . Where does this leave "us"? :)

Why do i feel like i am rewinding a tape and playing it again ? Seems like my life has as little knowledge as the lives of all philosophers before me and all those who are going to come after me. This is not a good idea , but , it seems there is a law of conservation of knowledge which we are going to follow.Strictly . sigh !
