Schumi…..


Though late, but considering my laziness, it’s quite fine that this post is finally published!!

Well, I can’t understand where should I start from. “Michael Schumacher” and “Formula 1” – The two terms were enough to drive me crazy since I was a little kid – strange, yet true! The race would be interesting for me only if Schumi won, else the race would be a boring one. That was my perception as a kiddo!

Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher’s 90th victory was at the Italian Grand Prix on 10 september 2006. After winning, Schumi himself announced that he was going to retire from racing at the end of this season. He also mentioned that he will continue on with Ferrari in some capacity next year, although his position was not specified. He said that he is planning to use the remaining 3 races for capturing his 8th championship.

Schumi’s F1 debut was at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix. So, after almost 15 years of his enthralling and endearing performances, who wouldn’t miss him? He will be remembered for perhaps being the best, and possibly the most committed driver ever to grace this sport. His legacy will be that of a driver who stretched the rules to their limit and sometimes beyond in his quest for success. The records Schumi has set will probably never be broken!!

At last, all I can say is….

“Schumi…..I’ll miss you!!”

DPSVK HYE 06 – Physics

The half-yearly exams are here! And I had my first one today, physics. And well, um, I wouldn’t say it went really well, but sort if average is more closer to the point. I’ve got 54/70, sources on the inside tell me, but that’s really terrible by my standards. Most people were discussing though that the paper was lengthy and most were expecting around 50s, but I expected around 60. Messed up because I ran out of time, I think I was a bit slow to start off with. On top of that, I was interrupted quite a few times, mid-exam (imagine!) over a quiz contest* to be conducted on 24th September (Sunday). That did make me lose my focus, apart from slowing me down. Couldn’t they have just contacted me later?

*Heritage India Quiz 2006 – more on that later.
