This morning, I was feeling as if I was playing without any joy. I was just driving my arm in a forehand motion. Since Murugan was not present in the court (his father expired and he had to leave for Madurai yesterday at a short notice), there was a complete chaos on the courts! A kid was allowed to play on the court for rallies! (I really don't know who that kid was!) Hari, the assistant coach, and Ravi, one of the ball boys, were in confusion on how to manage the crowd on the courts.

When I landed on the courts around 7 AM, Prem and Girish (aka the Garrulous!) were involved in a religious singles match! On the other court, a doubles match was going on! I did some warm-up, as I do usually, on the sides of the first court and joined Hari for some rallies. Suddenly, this Infy guy (Sorry! I dont remember his name!) dropped down from nowhere and joined us! Then, Gopal. Then, Neel. Then, another person. Then Sagar. Then.... I thought it was time for me to leave! :-)

I am waiting Murugan to come and help me out of this chaos! :-)

PS: Federer was again beaten by Canas in the Miami Sony Ericsson Open! This was the second defeat of the Super Hero by Canas in less than two weeks! See Federer's comments on his defeat.
