BBC has a notorious history of twisting the facts with regard to Asian countries. Britain having lost the power to rule the Asian countries has long adapted the policy of Divide and Rule policy. BBC has never apologized, when it was shown wrong in its biased News coverage.

The problems in Asia, political or domestic will be sorted by the countries involved. We do not like BBC to poke its nose and give false and twisted News to create disturbance among the Asian public.

Recently BBC showed that Chinese Olympics rowing team defeated the British team and has plants to topple America. BBC further said China had no reputation in rowing. Does Britain have reputation in any game? It does not even qualify in the many games invented in Britain! China’s rise to Superpower shows the hard work of the people and it reflects in Sports area also. Britain unable to digest this broadcasts biased opinions.

Do not believe BBC broadcasts anymore. It really wants to please America and fool the World. We have other media who tell the truth.

Does anyone need eat so much species of Food like Scorpion, Snake Grill, Beetles, Goat Lungs, Sea Horse, Cow and Horse Stew to win Olympic medals? I am putting just one picture:

The only vegetarian food is Corn with Ginger sauce. Let me choose that, Medals or No Medals!

Playing French open tennis needs stamina, patience and power. Ball comes slowly from the Red Clay Court and there is no bounce at all. It is like a dead wicket in Cricket. No bounce and speed like US open hard court of Asphalt, Spin and Rally in Wimbledon Grass and Concrete court like the Australian Open.

Bjorg won French open 6 times in a row and Wimbledon 5 times in a row and most of the games were always against John McEnroe and other greats.. But he never won a US open as there McEnroe would kill him with speed, reflex and perfection. Bjorg does not have the talent to play in bouncy and fast return courts.

Ivan Lendl. won French open many times. What a great player he was. But he could never adapt himself to Wimbledon. How many hearts fell when Ivan would reach the final and not win the Wimbledon? He is a great Golf player now.

Take Sweet Pete. Sampras is a perfectionist, but could never win French open. There was a chance for him, but Andre Agassi played better.

Take any player after Rod Laver. None has the adaptability to suit himself to the different types of Tennis .Courts. Only Agassi is an exception.

Then there was Michael Chang, Ruscoe Tanner, the prodigy Boon Boom Boris Becker, Ivanichevich, Mats Wilander, Jimmy Stefan Edberg, Jim Courier,Guillermo Vilas, and Ilie Năstase of old times a controversial player like McEnroe. I forget the names of many other greats.

I could remember all these names because there was tough competition and each player was unique and grand. But Roger Federer has no such unique qualities. I do not understand why there are so many fans for him. They wish he and believe that he will win the win the French open this year.

But Nadal is such a fine Clay Court player and has got more variety of shots, power and reflex. The double handed backhand return is just cool. I wonder how Fed reached the final when he is so poor in his game.

There is a shortage of talented players now. That is why Fed seems great. Can you tell me the second, third and up to ten 10^th seed now? Like the days of Bjorg and McEnroe when we could tell at least ten names who are great and had a special quality for winning. Very few have gone down in straight sets like Fed now against Nadal. The legendary five-setter of Bjorg vs McEnroe still lingers in my mind.

Tennis lovers and experts say Fed has got a complete game. When I watched him play at French Open against Nadal yesterday, I stopped watching after the first set. He was like Ganguly playing the typical outgoing balls and getting out very easily. Fed is great because there is recession in Tennis players now. And Nadal has proved that He is King of Clay.

Sure Nadal is not Beyond Bjorg but better than Fed.

And there is Djokovic to beat Fed in Wimbledon coming soon now. Fed is not a complete player – He has no real competition.

Years back I started playing Solitaire. Though I have enjoyed many PC games and still try, the young ones always beat me with their observation power and mind-hand co-ordination.

But the different types of card games have come to stay with me as a habit. I enjoy my working with PC for hours, but in between I play card games.

The Poker is difficult as I have to understand the mind and playing pattern of others. I have a record in Solitaire points and highest difficulty level in Spider Solitaire.

Recently I had been to a nice dinner with my family and friends. There was a very young magician and he entertained us specially. The card game trick he did was cool.

It resembled something like the following two videos:

In 1858, Robert Fallon was shot dead, an act of vengeance by those with whom he was playing poker. Fallon, they claimed, had won the $600 pot through cheating. With Fallon’s seat empty and none of the other players willing to take the now unlucky $600, they found a new player to take Fallon’s place and staked him with the dead man’s $600.

By the time the police had arrived to investigate the killing, the new player had turned the $600 into $2,200 in winnings.

The police demanded the original $600 to pass on to Fallon’s next of kin - only to discover that the new player turned out to be
Fallon’s son, who had not seen his father in seven years!
