way to go Messi


Yesterday was a joyous day to all of Barcelona and Messi fans. The little man again did his magic on all 52 sports journalists who constitute the voting panel and won the best player in Europe award for the year 2010-11. The final three candidates were Christiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi and Xavi Hernandez. If you are a football lover and an analyst you might have known before the result have anounced that who was it  going to be?. But still i thought may be, may be the award would go to Xavi. But, hey,  don't think i am not happy with the result.

Before the award ceremony began FIFA showed a preview of it's charity works and donations, which they have been providing to the people of poor countries. And the awareness they trying to raise by using this wonderful game of "Football". They have set up many footballing centres for free in many African countries. And we all know that FCB is a promoter and partner of UNICEF, they donate a lot of money by playing, to charity works.



Christiano Ronaldo
Xavi  and Messi in Monaco

The award was given to Messi by the FIFA president and former footballing legend "Michele Platini". FCB's captain Carlos Puyol were also present at the ceremony. The award ceremony were at Monaco and today it is going to be FCB against FC Porto for UEFA Supercup in Monaco.

As an Indian i was amazed to see how cool and humble these guys were at the ceremony. No emotional bullshits only a smile. And one thing i noticed is that they all spoke in their native tongue except Ronaldo, which we can understand, from the former EPL experience. The show hosts were first asking in English and then in spanish. Both Messi and Xavi answered in spanish. We should be learning from them, as in our country if you don't speak English in a public appearance you are ridiculed. The attitude of people are very much different. In our country no sports personalities dare to speak in their own language, of course one reason is we have many diverse languages. But still just give it a thought before cutting me off.

Enjoy the show(FCB X FCPorto) every body, its at TenSports at 11.30 pm (IST)

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Goeldi-chironomous

From time immemorial we humans have been thinking that the earth is a place which God built to teach us some manners. No religious texts seemed to mention another animals specifically and importantly as we. Everything was about us. We were the center of universe. Well this study puts one more bullet hole in that theory, because scientists found out that there could be more than 1 trillion species housing this planet. And we're just one among them. Oooh that sucks! Yes that's right, you've heard me, scientists have proof for that now. This profound work is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It's such an amazing and groundbreaking effort by the scientific community,trying to map the biological diversity. The number of living beings shot up because this time extensive mapping of microbial life has been done. Usually people ignore the microbial diversity because they are invisible to the naked eye. The volume itself makes people's eyes pop out in amazeme...

THE EPIC - where to draw the line?

India is the land where history and myth get intertwined in such a way that you cannot say which is which. One of India's gift to the world of literature is her majestic epical wonder " Mahabharata ", attributed to some one(might be one person or many) called Vyasa or Vyas ( Ved Vyas ) which literally means one who dissected 'Veda' (religious and philosophical writings of Hindu religion). Research on this great epic revealed that many appendage had been done to the original text , before it became whole. Mahabharata's impact on Indian psyche is so profound that people consumed every word of it as such.  Characters were being worshipped as role models, like modern day Bollywood stars. As the generations passed by, line which divides the story and reality started blurring. Stories told and retold, appended stories that were not present at the beginning happened, kind of regional versions. Many dynasties and empires came and gone everyone tried to leave t...
