It was one among the most eagerly awaited matches of the season…a monumental occasion …the final of the European championship in club football! And on this occasion it was between Manchester united and Chelsea..for the readers who are new to club football…Manchester united (manu) and Chelsea are the football powerhouses in England.Earlier this season when they faced off in the championship within England Chelsea got the better winning Manu 2 to 1..But Manu had the final laugh winning the championship in England too..The contest went to the wire with Manu finally getting the better of the blues with a lead of two points!
As far as the European championships are concerned both played great football to make the final bid on the coveted trophy..The day 21st may unfurled many thrills for the fans all around the world..it was a red letter day in the books of Chelsea and Manu..it was the final of the European Championships. Now,people glued to their sets..waiting for the kick-off which finally came at around mid-night in the Indian time..after some good football…we saw Cristiano Ronaldo head one ball into the net…nothing except god himself could have stopped that from going inside! The red-devils surged ahead!!!!
The world’s best player had proved his worth yet again..
Hang on! After a couple of close chances for the reds..at the fag end of the first half Frank lampard brought the blues in the game again with a goal which can only be described as a comedy of errors and some cool football by the blues also!
After a first half which belonged to the reds except for the last minute…the blues charged up by their goal in the last minute came back strongly and full points to them on that. Then with the players even with more chances could not get past either goalies..had to go into the extra time searching for any changes..the tension mounting and the piece of silver in display on both the podium and their minds did nothing to ease the already monumental tension on them.
With the second period of extra time seeing the send off for the blues striker Didier Drogba on slapping Tevez..the climax was approaching…with the dead-lock failing to be broken the final had to go into the penalty shoot outs..
The gravity of the occasion and the expectation of the millions of fans across the globe were weighing heavily on the minds of the players..the first penalty was taken by the reds …and..IN!!! The blues too put one past Van der sar..then came the second…Cristiano Roanldo…a goalies nightmare…the fans were very assured but! Darn it! It wasn’t to be so!!..it was one of the days where his deception took an off day..Petr Cech saved what was the most toughest penalty in terms of the tension and the skill of the person shooting it..Phew! the the reds put all the remaining 3 in and the blues had not faltered till the fifth..now…Manu on 4 penalties on 5…chelsea with four on four John Terry the captain taking it..he was taking it with all the prayers of his team and fans… along with the expectations and hopes of his manager,team and fans!..He slots it,and Chelsea go through as champions of Europe..avenging their loss to manu earlier at the English Championship…Now was the moment…But we saw a repeat of the Euro 2004 Beckham miss in the quarter finals against Portugal…JOHN TERRY SHOT WIDE!!!!
Then it was like in the same chance if one team shoots and the other team misses the shooter is the victor! Ryan Giggs slotted one past Petr Cech when Nicolas Anelka did not manage the same against Van der sar..Manchester united were crowned the champions of Europe in a colourful and fitting ceremony to the champions and also not to be too harsh on the blues they played some great football too!
It was eventually football and the ones with nerves of steel who won…the match will be remembered for the high quality football it produced and of course the pulse raising it caused across the world for over two hours !!!..Phew…I had never before experienced such a nerve racking…I cant imagine how it would have been for the players..
Now that they have won the technical acumen of Sir Alex Ferguson never comes under the scanner as his do-gooders romp home with 2 of the 4 championships..Lets see what the future has to bring!!! :)

Crazy-game for the crazy people eh?
The story of an IPL team:
A captain who is famously called ‘unfit’ for the shortest form of the madness called cricket in spite of having over 10000 runs against his name in both the other established forms of the game and standing 5th on the list of the players with maximum runs in test cricket..only true thing is that the gods have given him lesser luck as he has enough talent and agreed that he does not score boundaries like the other ‘poster boys’..but, when he hits the ball on the off side it goes to the off side not to the leg side boundary like many others’ shots do..
A bowling attack without any teeth to sting though it comprises the world’s second best fast bowler and the second highest wicket taker of the tourney…and of course mention has to be made of the Indian leg spinner who is next on the charts after a Shane Warne!...true that they did not sting very hard in the past
But, on a day when they were on the mat at 40 off 10 overs for the loss of some 4 wickets …a below par score in the newest form of slam-bang cricket…thanks to some lethal bowling from the opposition bowlers and of course illogical batting from the team in consideration also…they came back to stun the opposition by catching them 14 runs shy of the target!
Considering the events of the match our captain struck a defiant 47 off 39 deliveries which had 6 hits to the fence…all of which were classic examples of how to play those shots…he is unfit oh yeah? Oooh…look at the strike rate... its very low! Yeah he does not put the bat to everything in whichever way ,but he does only in the way it has to be done ..eventually it was the highest score in the match also.This was not the first instance in which he top scored for his side.
Well..the opposition given a paltry 127 to chase in 20 overs on a wicket which was flat a model’s mid-section(no pun intended J)..raced to 85 for one in 12 overs two well set batsman in crease playing shots with consummate ease off the bowlers…the champion comes in picks up two crucial wickets with lethal deliveries and some more good back up from the other bowlers left the side 15 runs shy short of victory.
Moral of the story: It’s a lions heart which wins matches not the brutal force of the hand which dispatches the ball to the boundary to the spectators glee and..of course!.. a steady mind also
Read on!!!
The team in discussion was the Banglore Royal challengers who were at the bottom of the table Led by Rahul Dravid and bowled to Victory by Anil Kumble and Dale Steyn..The opposition was the Chennai super kings playing at home…
My request: People,if you still call Dravid a test player and Dhoni better than him please try learning cricket..it was the patient 47 which kept the team in the hunt not a quickfire 15…though being aggressive helps being soft does not hurt at all. When I was watching the home leg of the same match which Chennai won by Dhoni’s pyrotechnics and Dravid’s softness I still wince at the insults people hurled at him..if a player who has won so many matches for the nation is treated like this then the worse players are at a much pitiable state in this Cricket-crazy nation..and please watch cricket and not your favorites cheering your favorites may bring you joy but booing another might hurt many so…please mature!!..I refer the Booing of Sachin when he was Duck out also…Well! What more should he accomplish? And please sport is entertainment and it remains that way till people watching it are really sane and watch the sport also at times!
Phew! I thought this much after the match and the thoughts ended when I went off to watch The final of the European cup..what a match..!!! now im too sleepy to type about that…so next post!

366 days ago!
One full year has passed and to think of the very date..the 14th may 2007 gives me a feeling I still cannot comprehend as till that disaster happened I as a totally different person..a person who never questioned anything but accepted everything as they came to me…
At the precise time..00:00 my watch beeped and I was sleepless …on my bed in a room cooled by the ac still I was sweating …when the sun’s rays touched me I knew that the result of my 14 years of study would come alive and the route of my future would materialize…yes it was the day when my 12th results were about to be announced
As befitting the occasion I woke up earlier than usual ,even went to the temple and prayed. Everyone were astonished….my family knew me as a care-free guy who has the complete confidence on himself..never cared about a result and stuff..but me goin to a temple was something very new to my people given my laziness!
The government’s awareness about things are not at the best and their idea of punctuality comes under the same category..the results scheduled to be out by 830 was finally out by 12:00 noon…and when I got to see them all that was left for me was the sympathetic glances of my friends,”it’s ok..you prepared for the entrances also “ from relatives and parents and many other not so pleasant compliments…I was left shattered …sorry I forgot to say what happened
My scores read as:
English : 184
Tamil: 150
Maths : 194
Chemistry :183
Physics : 189
Comp.sci:190
Total: 1089
I started hearing my people speaking about rates to seats in different colleges…and stuff it left me in a very awkward position…I was very cool about my studies as I was always confident that I would never leave my parents in this situation..but that was not to be true at the most crucial juncture..all my calculations had backfired..all the hours I had spent when my friends had studied …all those hours spent watching Dravid’s centuries again and again tugged at the bottom of my heart .A guilty feeling that I was totally new to… i was in an inconsolable state. I never spoke ,smiled,ate for around 2 days..that was till when my dad spoke to me.
Im really thankful to god now as I tell you without my parents’ support nothing would have happened as it has now..they were the ones who encouraged me to look beyond the state board books into the entrance exams…the ones who gave my otherwise aimless life an direction and yet in a totally non-forceful way.When my dad spoke I felt as if I had aged by 2 years ..nearly turned an atheist as I tell you my scores below par for anyone who is supposed to be good…and I was…
The same encouraging…chill-nothing’s lost-attitude of my dad surprised me…Finally he asked me “are sure you did your exams better than this?” my immediate answer was a yes …the next day my dad was applying for the Xerox copies of my papers when they came and when I went to my teachers to identify any places where I can get marks…I found that I would get a lot more…I never felt the relief that I had done much better than what I thought …but angry at the examiners to have been so careless with the future of a person how many futures were played with? How many Aravinds are going around cursing their luck? In this competitive scenario where one mark can mean more than 1000 ranks is this what we want? Given the authority I would have personally sacked the teacher and sued him…its for his mistake im paying a 1000 rupees per paper…and I do it with anxiety and im not even sure that justice would be done even then..does this scenario augur well?
When and how will this be changed..? these questions sound rhetoric to me..Idiots! is all I can I say for those idiots who value the paper and the ones in power …valuing a student’s future with what has happened in a span of a mere 3 hours…that wont and cant change though..
Eventually due to my parents’ constant persistence I applied for re-eveluation and got a 195 in chemistry and 194 in physics …a whooping difference of 17 marks…though I welcome the marks I still shudder at the thought of what has happened in between the two events …actually now my board marks are nothing more than a mere number..still imagine a person for whom this is the thing which matters…
We live in a sick world where the ones at fault call the shots and don’t give a damn to a student’s future its just a bundle of scrap and a matter of a few bucks for that paper…im not going to commend a teacher who does the evaluation methodically as its just their duty.. its time things changed and lets think of something that at least leaves out this suffering for our juniors!!

'Nite' outs!!
The term nite outs is very common during the preparations for the semester exams in our college..it just means a group of duffers one book or one teacher and the day before an exam and the the same state through the night!!..
The reasons: As i mentioned earlier the nite outs are only for duffers and not the studious lot! as they prepare well in advance and sleep when we toil all night!! :)
Next, it is for the people who are extremely cool and with we-dont-give-a-damn-about-marks attitude! But they just do it to pass off as an arrear may mean many unpleasent things!
Then, the golden rule is never take systematic notes in class..no point in trying to prepare notes from volumes of printed matter 10 hours before an exam..so beg borrow or snatch some good nerd's note!!
The Process:
One good guy who is good enough to teach us 10 hours before the exam,instead of he himself revising for the exam will be found no matter however bad he is manage along!
Or get hold of the notes of any nerd somehow and read it fast and well and teach yourself to your friends..
The session generally begins by 7 in the evening before the exam ...material collection till 10 and studn till 2 or 3 or 4 then sleep depends on the exam for exams like chemistry less sleep ( we slept from 4 to 6) for math and physics a lot more!
On the morning of the exam (exam is usually by 930) full recap of whatever we studied and cram a few more details if possible and leave!
My Experiences: Whenever we study its better to study with someone on the same range as we or a little better as if the person is too good he may demoralise you even before we start studying!
Bearing this principle we the great '32' gang combined to read for the exams..
the memebers:
Anish,
Professor t,
Dindu(the most important person as he gave us something to eat durin odd hours of the night!),
Ramnath,
Anand Srinivas(not exactly full time nite out at 32 ,though many a time helpful in clarifying doubts though..an extremely intelligent and awesome friend!)
And of course yours truly!
Mention has to made of Raj Prabhu one of the inmates of the room 32 but never objected to our stayin and disturbing his study and sleep! and of course HK who taught us many times after he finished studying..
The unity durin this process was amazing...one each studn each topic and teaching each other! well! thats hostel life!!!
As everyone would tell these are times nothing can bring back!! those entertainment in the time when we study,each one gathering some resource from somewhere..then each one telling what each teacher told ...and of course the teasing that goes on ceaselessly!
A hats off to group work and harmony! a hats off to hostel life!!!

Whew! One year over and it seems to me as if this year has not even started…Its been a mixed bag as far as this ‘academic’ year is concerned…I came home today only to find my gran’s eagerly awaiting my arrival [:)] .I went about the usual routines and at one point my gran dad asked me what I had learnt this year..that of course was answered by a polite and rather sheepish smile but internally something else began…finally when my thought process concluded I decided that this was what I had learnt this year..
ACADEMICS:
An absolute zero.Only in the second semester maths was challenging and of course we liked to learn for the exam and eagerly looked forward to have a crack at the challenging paper..but alas! The semester paper being an easy one did no justice and it was a bit of a dampner..
I am really interested in physics but after one year of study in the famous NIT-T I can hardly scent any trace of that intrest in myself..and of course no comments on chemistry.
Previously I never had an exam where I had to learn something on the morning of the exam..never been late to an exam hall but after going to college I have had days where I had to start preparing on the day of the exam..and of course never been to the exam hall before time.. is that good or bad.?
My mediocre gpa does nothing to say in favour of this
Fine! Chuck this topic
LIFE: Being on one’s own can be really nice .Hostel life is solid proof for that..washing your own clothes ,tending your bed,cleaning your room etc..these are small things but when done they give you immense satisfaction after being done by someone else all the previous 17 years
Friends are more important than what Sir Newton’s laws say or volume integerals or carbon’s valency…seriously,then who else would give you assignments or even better do them? J…Apart from that nothing can bring back those magic moments you spend together or those brilliant teasing we undertake!..staying ten in the same room and having fun! (no pun intended!)..whoa! its just awesome
I babble a lot nowadays under the tag of mokkai’s. well… not sure if this is good either
My family has 3 generations of teachers and professors my mom also being one…. imagine how respected teachers should be in my house …time to break the old rules eh?
On the last day of the first year my friend introduced me to a literary group..a group of people who read books other than the novels also…I heard names of books that have changed lives ,that convey the lives ,the achievements of great men whom everyone admires…why didn’t I think of reading them before itself?.....got lots to learn in life
Books are really the best companion a man can get if he is lonely :-p
nothing gives you more satisfaction than an amazing read..then is music…by saying music I mean music where you understand whatever is sung(note the word)..not people using heavy sounds to hide their not-so-good-voice…music is something that clears your head not which brings in a head ache..
OTHERS: I was introduced very recently to a crazy sport called soccer…22 fully grown men slogging it out just to posses a ball few foot in size and trying to put it into a post which again is guarded..and millons across supporting a group of 11 men ..i got a bit tired when the same group was continuing its love affair with winning …of course relationships are meant to be maintained..!!
Late night matches …people grabbing up seats with slogans supporting their teams and stuff and sledging among themselves…..all that is really nice!!
Even when a person loses he is not without support…if you did’nt know im a HARDCORE Dravid fan and Royal Challengers’ supporter..and of course im not single at that!
Build-up is something that can irritate you but at times I wonder how people manage to do the …without even me realizing it I have become the master of build up [:)]
All this apart …I met a senior who was leaving the college…he was very very emotional about his life here ending…I just thought over it now…if something made him feel that much what else could it have been other than his friends? If there is something more I still have’nt seen it and I doubt that I will at the end of 3 more years …
Let me see what happens when I write a post on the same subject next year [:)]
AS for the answer for the question it moves to the right as no door is visible only windows…this was a question asked to the kids in UK. 90% answered it correctly …good minds coming up?
