The thing......

is that unless we all run like leopards, we will not be able to differentiate performance.. the real performance otherwise yes we can judge the runners but of course those who run like leopards will always win... thats not we or i want for that matter...

or else if we can't then i think we need to bring leopards in.. , right? if we agree to it then take-off or else keep the races with 1 hp on some and 135 hp on others..

Global Recession - Ferrari Views....

Mr. Montezemolo (Chairman of Ferrari) says that crisis or no, Ferrari will continue racing ahead. “I believe, though this is not a popular view, that the crisis will be quick, and salutary,” he said. “Bankers, above all American bankers, were greedy, and put their business on a not-so-solid base, with excessive valuations. Now we have taken one step back to better conditions. We will make two steps forward, and that’s not so bad.”

Last year Ferrari sold about 6,400 cars, including 1,761 in the United States and Canada. In the first eight months of this year, sales rose almost 25 percent, to 4,953. If sales should soften in traditional markets, like the United States, Ferrari is rapidly opening new markets. It entered China in 2004, and last year sold 200 cars there. “There will always be 6,000 people in the world who will want a Ferrari,” Mr. Montezemolo said.

Joke

A man was sitting in the bar at Felixstowe port. A beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the table next to him. So he decides because she's at the port, she's probably an off-duty shipping Line Customer Service agent.

So he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the shipping line she works for, thereby impressing her greatly.

He leans across to her and says the Hapag motto 'Better together ? '.

The woman looks at him blankly. He sits back and thinks up another line.

He leans forward again and delivers the Hanjin Line motto 'Your Choice, Your Success' .

Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face.

Undeterred, he tries again, this time saying the OOCL motto "We take it personally".

The woman looks at him sternly and says 'What the f **k do you want?'

'Ah!' he says, sitting back with a smile on his face........ ' MAERSK LINE' .

Update

I think this is my first post after a long long blogger break. A lot of things changed in past few months....

I shifted to my new house i.e. a palace for me at least. I have everything here I ever needed.. MashaAllah....

And I was never satisfied in my any jobs as I am these days. A lot of things happening. Got the pole position at work and now leading the race.. I think that says a good deal... Things are getting back on track and pretty fast. Now the market will see a strong player beating all odds and coming out at top. Watch out.... we will paint the world YELLOW & RED.......... Aristotle once said "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light". I got slightly out of focus and got trapped by the blue world that made my image a bit weak but now it is time to show that it was temporary and now people will follow me and I will make the rules... I hate Lewis Hamilton for his big mouth but boy o boy the self-belief that he has. I need just a bit from him and I will fly.... I have taken that after the last grand prix.. Sorry guys but I relate F1 to the real life..

Lost a lot of weight... in fact good weight.. thats a negative because I was on creatine and the month of Ramazan (loss of water, protein) took away the great amount of muscle that I gained over the past few weeks. Now I will have to work from scratch but I know how to do it so I am not that fussy about it and anyone want to race with me on muscle gain then I am all for it....

Funny it is....

Last night, I was going out for a party with friends.. I was getting ready. Oops, forgot to gel my hair. I went in the bathroom and you know what I did....... I put face-wash on my hair instead of gel (the tubes were a bit similar).. and I realized when I put the tube back on the shelf. Horrible my hair were looking all night but I didn't have time to wash and put the proper thing so I moved on with the face-wash on my head........

I am F2008 engine

I wish to put my frustration in writing here today. It's been 2.5 years full of all the bullshit a company can have and it gives me no pleasure anymore to be here with all the junk people we have in our office. Who hired them in first place and what was the criteria?

Please, the big shots in Switzerland, Bonn and Singapore, please guys, I am an engine made-to-order for F2008 or McLaren MP4-23 and you put me in a Super Aguri. Guys this won't work at all.

I am sure you know what is F2008 and MP4-23. It's Ferrari & McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 cars running this year's championship and these cars are designed to win races and not to bang each other at the end of the grid and midfield. Come on, you manage the F1 logistics and I am telling you all this sounds non-sense..

The Cycle Completed

Last week, I completed my 12 weeks cycle of weight training. It was basically a sort of compound exercise routine to increase some muscle size. I have been quite successful in achieving my mass goal but I haven't yet got there completely to achieve the ultimate goal of having a body half of the size of my gym instructor. I think that's a pretty attainable objective.

I am very tired now of going straight to the gym from office without any chutti. Yesterday, the muscles literally screamed to stop pushing more. I could not even lift a light one for legs (my light one for leg press is 268 lbs). I sat down thinking what to do next. Should I continue pushing myself to finish the day's workout or should I go to Sauna and sit there for a while (but the weather!!) or should I do some quick laps in the pool... My heart was on the iron but the body and mind said "what the fuck are you doing? just go home". But I was still not sure.

I went to the changing area to see myself. Yes, I saw in the mirror and realized that I can still give my gym buddies a run for their money. So, I thought taking a full week rest won't hurt me and reduce my size...

I talked to the instructor to make a plan for me for the next level that would include some good diet and a new routine for bigger muscles..

I have a meeting with him in the afternoon. Let's see. The point is how would I now motivate myself to push for another 12 week program but I will somehow have to....

Sorry for so many I's in this post but it's about me and myself so "I" had to be there.... at all times.......
