About Siddharth »

I'm just mad about sports. Sachin Tendulkar got me hooked to cricket and Pete Sampras to tennis. Just when I thought Pete was the greatest, along came Roger Federer. Have become a Fed devotee ever since.

Follow Formula One for the thrills and NBA for the fast-paced action but I'm no expert in either. Watch football strictly during the World Cups. Would love to follow hockey but haven't had many chances.

I work in Project Finance & Private Equity where I build financial models and design investor presentations. I rarely get to write anything good. Hope to improve my writing here at b/r and make a few friends as well.

Thanks for reading my bio. Cheers!

Sid,
I'd appreciate if you get a chance to unlaugh at this dull piece. Not my best effort, but you will find at least the hypertext and techno stuff interesting. It may not be funny or special, but your comment would mean so much to me. Take a free swing.
The title is: Top Ten Reasons to Dislike Roger Federer.
Thanks.

Hope you don't mind me returning to leave a note about the pair of slideshows I and Claudia have put together? A bit of fun, really, but you might like a few of the pics...... just trying to draw out my wonderful Wimbledon memories for a little bit longer.

Just trying to catch up on all the comments and messages of the last frantic Wimbledon days and I don't think I dropped in to say thank you for becoming a fan. Much appreciated.
You'll have noticed that I'm a *bit* of a Roger fan as well!
But sorry, I struggle with cricket (though I'm pretty chuffed by the English women!)
