The tryst with Football

This Saturday's late kick-off,in the Barclays premier league might just not have been the most interesting of matches to tune into,as it featured the struggling Portsmouth with only two wins in their previous 16 outings,hosting a 2nd placed Liverpool side,not at all at their full strength nonetheless looking to win this fixure and temporarily go top of the premier league table,with league leaders Manchesr United having played two games less than them.But Myself being an ardent liverpool supporter,I never try and skip any of the league games no matter what position they might be in.Also every result that they get from now on could change the winds of their title campaign severely.But i was having second thoughts about this one,as lpool were without their talismanic skipper Steven Gerrard(out for 3 weeks with injury)and were also shy of influencial players such as Xabi Alonso and Albert Riera due to injury.And to top it all off,one of the most feared strikers in europe,Fernando Torres,i heard would be left to watch from the bench.Thats a few very massive blows,as i seriously considered turning off the TV after looking at the squad which was setup in something that looked like a 5-4-1 formation with six defenders on the pitch!...right..who gets the goals Rafa?David N'gog?Rookie lone striker?unlikely to say the least...
Regardless i watched,and as expected it was a dull and drab first half,liverpool resumed their usual slow starters' ways,with the only highlight being Fabio Aurelio's free-kick off the left hand post.
Little did i know that the second half was going to be blood-rushing,heart stopping,butterflies-in-gut drama...with what could have been the most unexpected of incidents,David Nugent puts Portsmouth into the lead,with a possibility of being offside,let by.Still i had enough belief in Liverpool to go on and clinch it,but the curse of the draw never passed me.Then Ryan Babel misses an atrocious sitter.Unbelievable.In a game which saw the refree(Howard Webb)all over the place,not always making the right decisions with a countless no. of handball appeals swayed away,and offsides gone for and against,former liverpool lad Peter Crouch commits a horrendous error of a back pass to keeper David James,forcing him to handle the ball due to Dirk Kuyt's charge.(who had now entered the game,thankfully)Free kick in the box-liverpool.GOAL!!!And its 1-1!!! As Fabio Aurelio blasts through the pompey side,stacked like bowling pins inside the penalty area.Relief...Another substitution sees Xabi Alonso walk into the pitch,but still no Torres.The gold was still very much in the mine..
I leave pulling my hair as Torres finally steps into the pitch with 15 mins to go.But in the blink of an eye,pompey are in the lead again,courtesy of a free header for Herman Heraidersson from a set-piece.In complete anguish and disbelief,i kick the shelf beside me,suddenly fearing how far Man-Uniteds lead would go,were liverpool to lose.. 2-1 it stood and for the second time,pompey take the lead,with the tale twisted as fiercely as this season of the premier league itself.
Then theres another blood rush accompanied by a mood swing,as Dirk Kuyt blasts home from close range with intense venom.The tide begins to turn as the score stands at 2-2.Liverpool equalise again.After all thats already been in this match,the final verdict is provided by none other than Torres himself heading home the potential winner,as i punch the air,revved with emotion,with nothing but pure satisfaction .Theres hope yet!!We'd done it again...3-2!!!.F**king unbelievable really...What a show,lads.Snatching the 3 point parcel right out of pompeys hands,(but you'vre relly got to fel bad for them after their performance.)Liverpool are league leaders only for the while,but with a lot of confidence after this terrific show of class and character from potential champions.
I just wanted to write this piece,in an attempt to explain the emotion that travels through me during a liverpool game,the club that i support and love.Every result plays its toll on me long after the game is done,as them winning their first barclays premier league title(19th league title)is all that matters to me when i watch the league.Its this about football that never ceases to amaze me,the fact that it never fails to deliver.Seems stupid that i'm talking so much about a mid-league game,albeit important,but at the same time NOT a champions league final or something!And Even though this was a small time league match,it produced 5 goals of a thrilling saga with one clubs title hopes hanging in the balance,whose fate could change after each twist in the game.Tomorrow you could see Aston Villa beat man united to the top,all punditry aside...What a league battle we have in store but thats just how it is,its perfect,its genius,its heavenly.It is the beautiful game.And we live to love it,and love to live it.

college (special) daze

I stare at my firefox window and see 4 tabs open...orkut,espntar,BOF,and well,my blog..
Orkut-no ones online.(Well of course,people are online,but...nyeh,nyeh)
ESPN star-Read and re-read all football related news.
BOF-Batman's dead in the comics so whats the point >_<" bloggy-ahem*sticks tongue out and clicks on customize for new post* :d

Okay,so i enter college today,and see a new flyer right at the entrance that says "special days coming up,all next week"(or something like that,but thats what it meant)...hmm...then i go further down the corridor and see one more that says "9th,monday will be chocolate day"with brands listed below"dairymilk,nestle,melody,etc*sighs*.Whats this all about,chocolate day?Whats so different or special about it if all we're gonna eat is basic indian chocolate?Or is that even what we've gotta do?Further down theres one more"10th feb tie and saree day"well thats fine,but wouldn't it have helped to just put up all the notices into ONE board?Now i'm seeing flyers beside the walls of the stairs"11th feb.BLUE and WHITE day" hmph.I don't even wanna begin to wonder why its BLUE and white >_<.But im still being teased all the way up to the second floor!Now its "colour day.red=love,white=peace,blue=*blah*,black=enemy".Well people wear clothes of different colours everyday,so i'm guessing this particular day is all about going as per mood and choosing .Wheeee so much fun!i'm gonna be playing dress up!..meh.
Annoying...sill more flyers...one more stupid day,13th (i don't even remember what...yeah,it said rose day,but isn't valentines just a day after?how desperate!) and then its 14th..at least that ones official."So all this is a build up to valentines?"some guy asks me,climbing up the stairs,equally puzzled.Hmm,i guess, but building up a little too literally!I was almost on the 3rd floor! :P
I know that colleges have special days,but arent they like once a month or something?Whats this all about?
Anyway,next weeks i'm gonna be all DAZE'd...and right now i'm confused...hey thats a Led Zeppelin song!*starts mp3 track*"beeen daaazeddd and confuuuusedd...so long its not trueee!!" wails robert plant...
There goes another 25 minutes!I really do spend my time wisely...yessir.
*jimmy page runs into solo* aaaah!!!This is the best part!See youse readers later!


Note:BOF is short for"batman-on-film",the most reliable source for bat-movie related news on the web,and is currently on the hunt for news on a possible 3rd movie after the mammoth success"THE DARK KNIGHT".

Back in the saddle

Heylo again,people...
I kinda saw this coming,the point where my brain would run out of creativity and would just refuse to fill me in on how i'm supposed to go forward with teh bloggy :P
There are other reasons anyway;theres also my dumbf*** net service,sify broadband,whose "unlimited" net plan had some*ahem* conditions i probably didnt know about,or did,but didn't care to pay attention to...which was a biig mistake.Apparently,my net usage went into unlimited zone only after 8p.m through 10 am and during daytime,it seems,they had limited me to a 150 mb maximum of usage!
Well i'd heard it would be risky to actually try and surpass that figure and wait and see what happened,but pesky me had vacations going on,and its was "download all you can while theres still time"..time. >_<
So i went a leetle over 150 each day,knowingly or unknowingly,and to my complete disbelief,my service expiry date was showing it to end a month before it was actually supposed to!what the hell is this all about?Using it a li'l bit over provided value each day and i get a months worth of net cut off?well thats what happened it put me through deep sh!t cuz me folks didn know about this...and when they came to,they simply refused to renew the package at the time,(i.e,after all the *biff*bam*pow*sock*boom*) hence the hiatus :P
so,i'm back!(PH34R!!O_o)...lets see what i can do to the plain piece of junk that this is now...
-until next post then

P.S:@nexi-sorry 'bout the song title post title thing...could'nt resist :P

Ashes Of The Wake...

Hey everyone,its jan22...seems i've got lots of free time on my hands right now,as i solemnly swore not to go to college until after a week of its reopening >_<...so here i am,posting as much as i can in the time being...any suggestions on how else i should spend my time?hm..didnt think so.

"Its all....part of the Plan..."

Okay,its jan 22nd today and its an extremely saddening and mournful day,for all of us and especially hollywood,as this day marks the death of one of the finest actors in the industry...the late great Heath Ledger...whose sudden death last year,due to prescriptional overdose, shattered the very core of Hollywood...it wasnt on any occasion that this tragedy occurred...it was on the eve of the promotion one of the biggest films of 2008,in which ledger created history...THE DARK KNIGHT.
his untranscendable act as BATMAN's iconic arch nemesis,THE JOKER,in the film,was the buzz of the world...everyone was wondering what he would be like,if he would be able to outperform Jack Nicholson's JOKER from the 1989 BATMAN film. As inside sources proved to be extremely astonished and baffled at his work,albeit being awfully secretive about it.
little did we know that we were simply going to be blown away by,arguably,the performance of the year...
After creating a wide fanbase for himself coming from his edgy oscar nominated role in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN,the expectations were unreasonably high for this one...and boy,did he deliver...providing one of the creepiest,gut wrenching,immensely enduring performances,ledgers turn as the anarchic terrorist of a JOKER would make you gape at him awestruck,with eyes locked onto him,and cheer him on in every scene that he dwells in,even if what he does in it is purely evil and sadistic.Such is the might of his work,and such is the bar that he created for himself and everyone else in the industry...
Which is why his loss is an even more terrible ordeal,as we would never get to see him pop someones head as the anarchic maniac ever again...and there is absolutely no replacement for him...such is the void that was created on his passing...and it saddens me deeply,being a batman fan,and an equally rigourous joker fan...
Today marks a year after his passing,and i thought i'd just replenish your memories by mentioning him,and just try and pay hommage to his great act.This gem of a being,who is now a posthumous legend,will live on in everyones hearts...may it be in the form of a 19 year old teenager from "10 things i hate about you" or as the now greatest villain in history,the joker...

Rest in peace,Heath...

Movie Review:Chandni chowk to China

Okay,i know what you're thinking...how the hell did i end up watching this CERTIFIED PIECE OF SHIT of a movie on the vodafone tuesday offer,when i had already heard from every source around me that it was a pile of garbage!so my college friends want to watch some movie desperately ,and since theres nothing else new...DING!( i hate my curiosity)
okay.onto my review...
note:excuse me if i override this movie by a truck in this review,but i really need to blow off some steam coming back from my worst cinematic experience..EVER!!

director:nikhil advani
cast:Akshay kumar,Deepika padukone,Ranveer shorey
rating:0.5/5

this is less a movie than a bunch of musical numbers sandwiched between seemingly recurrent action sequences with a cartoony buffoon running the show,along with constant mindless pathetic,slapstick humor.Akshay kumar plays "sidhu" a man who's a regular days cook in chandni chowk,delhi.Well,the story goes like this (those still interested may continue reading, others continue to next paragraph) Hojo (Gordon Liu) terrorizes some village in China. Those Chinese villagers always scared, find a dumb buffoon Sidhu in India and bring him to their village, as they believe he is the reincarnation of some warrior hero and hope that he can save them from Hojo.
'nuff said.

Basically thats the plotline...it would really really interest me if i were like 5 years old,but too bad i'm not,right now.this movie is the biggest,most contrived piece of bullshit,for any kind of an audience to watch.The entire movie spits at you in the face saying that "you shouldve left your brain at home"...too bad i didn't.its aggrevating to see the directors lack of respect for the audience's intelligence and patience.TV programmes on HUNGAMA make you use more brains than this.Regardless,i was trying to find a silver lining in this dry pile of goo,'cause i wanted to say "paisa vasool"at the end of it.That didnt work either.
A scene at the start shows mithun kicking akshay on his derriere,and akshay,remarkably flies,yes flies,due to the force ala team rocket in "pokemon".What had i gotten myself into?the pioneer of drivel?i had seen NOTHING yet.

Along the way,this reel of film that belongs in the sewer,shows stuff like cosmic sound waves created during fights,a lethal hat(that the villain wears)with a razor sharp edge to cut through anything,a translating device that translates any language into hindi in your ear,footbands that make you dance on being worn...ah...now im 5 years old again!
Deepika is hot,but at the same time extremely irritating.and she plays the classic seeta-geeta version in this film,(the lesser said about that the better).Akki gives a 110% on his role,to my amazement.He actually acts well in this one may it be extreme,clumsy,comic,or emotional.but somehow,in this films world,chinese people are potrayed to be wooden-brained and stupid,and thats including all of 'em. Not one character here has an ounce of common sense,and neither do I,as i came to watch it in the first place.

*boom!,stupid humor,song,crack!,fight,confusion,song,stupid humor,stupid humor,nonsense,boom!,song,fight,fight,fight,humor,cosmic waves,people are flying,song*

WHAT???theres another hour of this f****d up piece of shit still left to be done??noooooo!!!!

End,you dastardly faggoty,irritating contrived sanctamonious,headache inducing,GODDAMN piece of shit!!END!!!

I cant take this anymore!And why are people laughing?apparently they arent laughing AT the film,like they should be,but at its jokes!Un-fu****g-believable.Boo,indian audience!I bang my head 10 times on the empty seat ahead of me towards the end of this shiz,as they give us a tesaer on a possible sequel...Now that AKKI dada has mastered kung-fu,in like 10 minutes,hes going chandni chowk to africa...wow...sure cant wait to see that one!First day first show....NOT!!!!
Im being easy on the movie giving it half a star...beacuse it taught me a lesson,dont ever waste time on bullshit like this even if its for free!Or you'll be barking madly when you leave the theater after you completely lose your sanity.
I am going home to watch some pokemon now...at least its more sensible than this is...see ya.

And dont forget to comment on the review!
