I ACTUALLY met Suderman...can't believe my luck...this day was just another boring Diwali with stupid programs on TV when this happened in the evening...
I was on my way to my friend's place and I was waiting at the Signal. I was just checking out the rear View mirror when I saw a Red Colour Avenger halting slowly. I was just admiring the beauty of the bike and I found the owner pretty pleased. I just turned front and suddenly it hit me. That's SUDERMAN with his Red Avenger. I was totally dumbstruck and didn't know what to do and this was our conversation.
Me: Hi dude
Suderman: huh...
Me: You are Sudhish Kamath right?
Suderman: Yeah...and you are?
Me: I'm Karthik...
Suderman: can't really remember you
Me: I'm Karthik, the one who bugs you on Y! often
Suderman: *with a smile*...yeah...I remember you
Me: *not knowing what to talk*...so where are you going mate?(how the hell does that bother me???..stupid me)
Suderman: To a friend's place
Me: It's nice meeting you dude...and best of luck for your movie
Suderman: Same here and thanks.
And then the signal turned Green and he just zoomed away.
It was brilliant, he was very very simple and was so cordial to talk to a complete stranger like me.
This day is one of the most memorable day in my life....am so happy....:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Desert Rose- Sting
I heard this song in my friend's place....fell in love with it at the first hear...
Love at first hear to be precise...amazing song...Sting's voice is so powerful and the lyrics, My God, it's brilliant....
I'm giving you the lyrics and check out the song here.
The Lyrics
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the love
Love at first hear to be precise...amazing song...Sting's voice is so powerful and the lyrics, My God, it's brilliant....

The fun in turning 18
Yep, I just turned 18 on the 29th of September. It's a kinda special feeling. Now i get to vote in all the elections. FINALLY i can ride around the city LEGALLY. I've always had a feeling that turning 18 would do nothing more than bring about loadza responsibilities, but now that i really am 18, i don't see any kinda responsibilities coming towards me.
The only proper thing I did after my birthday is put up a list. A list of what I intend to do now that I am 18, here goes:
Get a girl friend (An open application to all the single and ready to mingle galz reading this)
Taste Beer (Just hoping none of my family members are reading this)
Roam around like hell...LEGALLY...:D
Do something about my ambitions, as of now i can't see them anywhere else other than the trash can. So i kinda hafta get em outta that stinking place.
Join a gym
Go for some karting (May be Micheal retired just cos of this...hmmm....interesting)
Update my blog (though it's a long shot, i just hope i can do it regularly)
Earn some Dollars thru adsense ( one of my friends at coll has earned some $67 as of now...ggrrrrr)
That's all i can think of as of now....if i come up with something more, i'll let ya all know....
and be prepared to see a better Karthik from now on....:D

Saturday morn: High temp all of a sudden, dad diagnoses as viral fever, Quarantine for 4 days. (ppl with a quick math mind -unlike mine- would've figured out that that 4th day falls on the day of the comp)
Saturday noon: Fever increases and I was unable to move a limb.
Saturday Night: Still had hopes of going to the competition on tuesday, so had to take more than 9 tablets a day.
Sunday Morn: Showing signs of improvement.....*YYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPEEE*
Sunday noon: Fever almost nil but I still couldn't move out of bed. Hopes still running high
Monday morn: Fever totally down, but I had to sleep for 1 hr just to be able to sit for 5 minutes. Hopes wade away a bit
Monday noon: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monday night: sitting to sleeping ratio reduces to 10 mins : 1 hr
Tuesday morn: Feeling much better, just when I thought I could site some silly reason and escape to the competition, Vomit man strikes. *yuckiieeesssss*
Tuesday noon: 1pm, friend calls up from Ethiraj saying " Macha, awesome chicks down here, ur missing a lot buddy"......as if i didn't know....gggrrrrrrrrrr
Tuesday night: Still more tablets due to vomit. Getting much better

Micheal Schumacher is retiring...
It's official now, Micheal Schumacher, the greatest ever Formula 1 driver is retiring from Formula 1 at the end of the current 2006 season.
Personally I feel that it isn't the right time for MSC to retire. With Alonso putting up his maximum effort possible and Raikonnen too busy to move his ass, Micheal would be the right person to put an end to Alonso's short stint of luck. I feel MSC must have retired at the end of next season; it would be perfect to finish with 9 championship titles rather than 7. But as a true MSC fan, I wouldn't want to see him retire at all.
I am no man to talk about MSC's records, but then the stats speak for themselves. This might be a huge cliché, but then he has re-written all the records on F1.
A short glimpse of his career record
1991 Makes debut with team Jordan
1992 Moves to Benetton ; Wins one race (Belgian)
1993 Wins one race (Portugal)
1994 Wins first ever World Championship title
1995 Wins second World Championship title ; becomes the youngest driver to win 2 titles on the trot
1996 Moves to Ferrari
1997 Disqualified for an unsportive move on eventual winner Jaques Villeneuve
1998 Wins 6 GPs
1999 Crashes into Stoves corner at the British GP ; Fractures Leg and is out of the title race ; Eventually finishes 5th in the season
2000 Wins 3rd World Championship title
2001 Wins 4th World Championship title
2002 Wins 5th World Championship title ; becomes the driver with the highest points at the end of a season in F1 history with 144/180 points.
2003 Wins 6th World Championship title ; surpasses Sir Alain Prost's record of 60 wins
2004 Wins 7th World Championship title
2005 Finishes 3rd in the season
2006 Placed 2nd in the points tally (as of Italian GP) with 108 points ; announces retirement from professional racing at the end of the Italian GP.
I started watching F1 in 1998, when a friend of mine told me that there's a brilliant chap in a red car racing like a mad fellow, I just had to watch him. It was none other than the great MSC. Some people feel that he has been the most unsportive driver in F1 history ever. Agreed, some incidents haven't been in a very sportive manner by MSC, but what about 2005?. This was the season when FIA (the governing body of F1) changed the whole format of points and Qualifying. Unluckily for MSC, Ferrari's cars that year weren't the best. And eventually MSC had to settle for the 3rd place in the season.
Every year, I get away from F1 action only with the thought that I would be able to see the greatest ever person to drive a F1 car, race the following season. But that would change this year. No more Fans Screaming MSC, no more MSC rulez flags in the grand stands, no more giant MSC flags from the Crowds, NO MORE MSC.
It's really hard to imagine F1 without the man who made you regard F1 as a sport. It's going to be so much harder for me not to see the shining red car screaming at it's highest pace with the greatest F1 driver ever, sitting behind the wheels.
NO MSC, NO F1.
