FREE!

In a cold city which is ruled by inflation, terror, uncertainty, and sadness the best thing that we can get for free is..... a hug! One must never underestimate the power of a hug, be it a huge, tight bear hug, or just a small, loose kitty hug. A hug can build new bridges, fix broken ones, and cure almost anything.

spread the love!

THE WAIT IS OVER!

Well, we always knew that it would come but now that it has will the rest flow like the Nile?....only time will tell.....my heart says that they will! I'm backing Keane to net in 20 this season, do you think he'll make it?

The Haunting

Ah, very emo stuff here. Soo very unlike myself. But yeah, emo stuff none the less!


It haunts me, planting seeds of hatred in my head
Blackening the heart, washing away the red.
Frantically I try to wash away the stain
But all it does is worsen the pain.
Why does it hurt so much? I wonder.
Did I bring this upon myself ? I ponder.
Broken, in my bed I lay
Watching as it darkens each bright day.
Consuming me entirely from head to toe,
When will it go away? I do not know.
A tattered mind, a shattered heart.
A heart that can do nothing but love.
A mind that can do anything but forget.
My mind thirsts for revenge while my heart longs for peace.

CHARM NO.56

I have wasted precious hours of my life just waiting at the bus stop for the dreaded bus no.56. Well whenever I wait at my Hong Kong Bank bus-stop for bus no.56 to take me home, I always end up waiting for 20-45 minutes. I have been travelling by bus no.56 since my school days, and I've been facing this problem since then. But I finally seem to have found a solution to my problem!
NO, its not an increase in the frequency of buses!, but my good pal Noel!. Noel? How can a good pal be a solution to a problem like this.? Well, one day after our part time job for Antiquity, Noel walked with me to my bus stop, and as soon as we reached the bus stop, my bus arrived in less than 2 minutes. And just as i entered the bus, I clearly remember telling Noel..."Dude, you're my lucky charm". And well, I never really meant it at that time but the next time Noel accompanied me to my bus-stop, the same thing happened. So I was like, ...this must be a coincidence. No, it's no coincidence, it's just luck....Good luck! (Something that has been eluding me all my life). I'm sure it's no god-damn coincidence because it's happened on countless occasions now. Even though he has to go out of his way, to walk me to my bus stop, he still does it, and everytime i catch a bus i'm like "fuck dude, you're awesome!".

OLD LADY IN THE CITY

August 19th - woke up early in the morning, even though it was a public holiday(i've become really accustomed to rising up early since i was a kid. The only time i can really sleep for hours on end is after i've had a little too much to drink!) So i'm on the comp, checking my mail, and i see an invite for a photography thingy happening at Joggers Park, Bandra in one hours time. So i quickly message all my photography interested pals about it, hoping that someone would hopefully be awake. Then I quickly grabbed my camera and headed to the spot. I felt a little out of place because each and everyone there had these huge professional cameras, and i was present there with my tiny little digi-cam. But it didn't affect me much, because i loved my cammy a lot, and i knew that it was capable of taking amazing pictures . After three hours of listening to professionals and taking pictures of nature in the blazing sunshine around Joggers Park it was time to head home. I was really pressed for time because i had a project submission to get home to, so i decided to take a rickshaw home. On my way home i spotted a beautiful old lady on the road, and since i had my camera with me, i decided to get off there and go clicking pictures of the old lady. So i began taking pictures of her as she stood there, calm and untroubled. I had unearthed a beauty, that usually grabs no attention whatsoever from the passing public. But now they surrounded her, making comments on her age, and how attractive she was and how beautiful her figure was after many tedious years. As i photographed her, i saw another beauty resting inside a dark shady place. She was younger than the old lady, but not very young. "Today is my lucky day", I told myself. And i began taking pictures of her as well, plenty of close ups of the front as well as the rear. And then i went home, all excited to view my photographs.

TRANSFER THOUGHTS

New signings....will they be a success or a failure?....here are my thoughts.......


TOTTENHAM THREAT
As far as the transfers for the new BPL season are concerned, i think that Tottenham have made the most effective signings, and can now really pose a threat to the top four. Firstly, they have fixed the leaking pipe at the back by getting rid of their unstable and unsure goalie, Paul Robinson, and have brought in Heurelho Gomes from PSV Eindhoven. Gomes has proved his class and caliber time and time again for PSV, at the biggest stage ie: The Champions League. His ability to make top class saves against the Cream of Europe make him a respected goalkeeper.
In midfield, they have signed one of the most promising players in world football ...Luka Modric. Modric may be small in size, but that doesn't stop this 22 year old from creating potent, and concentrated attacks. He is comfortable with both feet and loves drifting into dangerous positions. With a player like Dimitar Berbatov playing in front of him, Tottenham may just posess the deadliest attacking pair in the Premier League.
Then they have a quick and pacey winger in Giovani dos Santos who can also play up front if required. If there's one thing that I have learnt watching the BPL, it's that whenever a player is brought in from Barcelona, he comes to England and becomes a star. And i think it's the same with dos Santos as well. He is just 19, and has already made a few appearences for Barcelona, scoring a hat trick for them in his last game for the Catalan club. He could form a wonderful combination with Darren Bent.
And then, the player who needs no introduction, ...the rising star of English football... David Bentley. Bentley was much sought after by many clubs in England, but I think that he made the right choice by joining Tottenham. His passing ability and dead ball abilities make him a fierce threat. Can the Arsenal reject take revenge on his former club???....only time will tell! Phew, I can't wait for the North London derby!!!
Tottenham are looking like a volcano that is just waiting to errupt. The amount of talent that runs throughout the team is just simply immense.Rumours are also on that Arshavin may be heading to Spurs as well. That would surely play a huge part in making them serious title contenders. Dont be too surprised if you see pictures of players clad in white, spraying the champagne all over each other at the end of the season!

THE GODS I WORSHIP

Well, I'm not a religious person, so aside from football legends and guitar pros, i don't really have anyone to worship. Here is a list of my favorite players from over the years. Some of them finished their career even before i was born, while the others still strive and toil to make it onto my favorites list!





1-Raul Gonzalez Blanco Spain and Real Madrid STRIKER
aka: 'El siete' (The Seven).....'El Angel del Madrid' (Madrid's Angel), and 'El Capitán' (The Captain)
Raul was my first favourite footballer, and why not? He has the status of a King in Spain. Any manager who has left Raul on the substitutes bench has ended up getting the sack. Raul is one of those selfless players, one of those so called team players, who puts his team ahead of everything. As a Real Madrid player, Raul has won the Spanish League 6 times, The Champions League 3 times and he is also a 2 time Intercontinental Cup winner...just a few of the many successes that 'El siete' has had. Raul also has 2 Pichichi trophies to his name, and currently he is the all time leading scorer in the Champions League with 61 goals. For his country, Raul is the highest goal scorer with 44 goals. Raul has been suffering from many injuries and hence was misfiring in recent times, this brought him a lot of criticism from many people. But he has shown his true colours, and resurrected from the ashes like a phoenix, fighting back, finding his form, and inspiring Real Madrid to Spanish domestic success! Raul has also sacrificed his position as a striker on many occasions and played in other positions for the team. According to me, Raul is the greatest player of all time, and he is an excellent role model for young kids.

fun facts: Raul has never received a red card in his entire professional career, which spans over 14 years!

Raul also figured high on a list of guys that girls would want to take home to meet their mom!
