I've shamelessly copied the title from one of Bertie Wooster's lines, but I don't think anobody will mind. Well, I say so because everything in the past week has turned out as I had wished. The Brazilian GP went smoothly for Alonso and the Renault team who secured the driver and constructors' crowns yet again, Federer won the Madrid Masters and Sharapova won the Zurich Open, India won its first match in the Champions Trophy. What more can I ask for?
Schumacher ended his career in style. He was unlucky not being able to make it to the podium, but it was a brilliant performance nevertheless. His hunger to win remained insatiable till the end in spite of 7 world titles. It was slightly ironic that his streak ended at the hands of a Renault driver (Renault was formed by taking over Benetton, the team with whom Schumacher won his first title).
On a different note, 'Seven Years in Tibet' is turning out to be a very good book. A must read for any travel-book lover. This is my second book about Tibet. The first one was Vikram Seth's 'From Heaven Lake'. This one presents a different picture of Tibet, before being taken over by China, when the Dalai Lama was still the God-King in the Potala palace. Some day, I wish to visit the forbidden city of Lhasa.
Anyway, enough daydreaming.

Wasnt a movie also made based on the book? Btw, the Vikram Seth verses that u wanted:
All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above -
Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.
