Retrospect – Away for sometime now!!!


Come June 9th, it was football craze or rather fever that swept throughout the world. Not for the first time, but the world stopped to meet and greet one of the biggest happening events around the world. Although, I am a big fan of Brazil, I equally like, Messi, Rooney and Ballack too. So, that might be one consolation to enjoy those countries’ games. Or may be my country (India) not featuring in the 32 starters gives me the much needed space to back any team.

Watching games late in the night, does take a toll on one’s health. Hence, I decided not to waste any this time. Thanks to ESPN Sportscenter, I catch up on all the latest action every morning from 8.30 to 9.30 :)

At the end of any day, I am a hard core Brazil Fan. Ole, Ole, Ole Braaaazil! And to prove that fact, I might even consider changing my name to Vaddiparthosa with a jersey number 9, if they allow me to play in their national team (Don’t curse me, please!). If you want to know your name too, if you were to be in the Brazilian team, look at this link. Its pretty cool!

Having said that, I can’t believe my own eyes when France is getting ready for another first round exit! I am a hard core Thierry Henry Fan too :) and as Soccernet says, there is only one Thierry Henry! God, please save this France side by giving them the much needed victory with 2 goals and please stop them from being relegated in the first round!

Away from Sports, if you can observe, the reservation row has died down. People really like talking about everything and do nothing. Unfortunately, I too am not leader as I am well placed in my own sense. As predicted, the football craze swept over the reservation mania. Once again, I can’t help but take my Hats Off to Arjun Singh and Congress for pulling out another massacre with just one blow. Kudos to you perverts!

And then there is this Hot News that Media got hold off. A DPS girl is being deprived admission in DPS just because she can’t speak English properly. In other words, she is not the “Yo! Dude!” type. Media rightly blames the school for not taking her up. But, if you put on your business hat and think about it from DPS’ point of view, I feel its right in it own way. In most of these schools, they look at the status and prestige and social background. These are the people who pay them well. So, even if you accept the child with some other background, they wouldn’t gel together (I know this hits hard, but that’s the way life is! Wrong at the right times!) Even after so much farce, I don’t think she is going to enjoy her stay at DPS. But, I do wish good for that Girl’s future. Get going girl, you can do it!
