Arsenal-Barca

That was definitely a very entertaining and exciting game.The reason why the match is so significant to me is these two legs will be the first time I' ll be supporting Arsenal.The reason is not because I love Arsenal but it's because I hate Barca more than anything.Why? is again a big topic and can write on it later..

Noteworthy events:

1) Wilshere was absolutely fantastic in the centre of the pitch.His composure on the ball,passing, tackling, closing down in the middle, everything was top notch.
2) I've never saw (in the few Arsenal matches I've watched) Arsenal play so passionately and courageously.They came out in the second half and played with a lot of character.
3) First half, apart from the first ten minutes, I've felt Arsenal played a bit timidly.'Barca' psychological factor played on their minds esp Persie looked a bit shady.
4) Getting keita on for Villa, I think played into arsenal's hands.Pep should've continued playing the same way.He should've brought on Bojan or someone.
5) With every move Arsenal's confidence multiplied.And for this Koscielny and Sczesny were at their very best to deny Barca any opportunities.

Assuming everyone's fit for the second leg and no demoralizing defeats in the runup to the second leg, with the belief and confidence they've got in the firstleg i predict Arsenal to match Barca at Campnou and I expect a draw and Arsenal to progress.. (There'll definitely be no 4-1 overmauling)

Fort Minor Rocks....Shinoda toooo

Two of my very favourite songs from Fort Minor.

You can say what you have to say
'cause my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking thehigh road going above you
this is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'cause my mind's made up anyway
all that bullshit you talk might work a lot
but it's not gonna work today


This is 10 percent luck, 20 percent skill
15 percent concentrated power of will
5 percent pleasure, 50 percent pain
And a 100 percent reason to remember the name

Gokul's gokarting with chennai buses...

This describes the journey back to IITM from vandaloor zoo.
Date:04/09/2010
Persons Involved:gokul,Bala,Manikanta and karthik (I am obvious)

PreScript:Before starting to the zoo ,inspite of the repeated assurances from Manikanta that we will be back in insti by 4 PM, our pal goutham was busy with some acads work and couldnt turn up.So he finally dropped off.But it was me who was jumping with joy on the sidelines as i was planning to play football that evening after a long time.

But what exactly happened was we were back by 6:15 PM thanks to some quick feet thinking by gokul..What actually happened was

We started return journey from Vandaloor zoo around 4:15.Caught a bus.BPC was sleeping at the front of the bus and we were all at the back.Then suddenly at one stop gokul said this is where we should get down.We just followed him and did what he asked to do.We all got down and dragged BPC out of his dreams and he too got down...

BPC acted like as if he was forcibly put into a dream by gokul(inspired from inception) nd he believed that all that he was dreaming abt in the bus was reality and we getting down at that bus stop was THE dream.

Then gokul realized that we have to walk for a short while from the bus stand where we've got down to get share autos to insti..So we followed him till thr and we all realized very late that "a short while" meant for 25 mins.Then finally my long spell of puzzling trying to understand BPC's bamboozlement was solved when we were taken to the bus stop by where according to him we will get buses or autos to the insti ( i mean IIT our destination).The bus we got down will actually pass through this very bus stop/point what gokul was telling all along...
That's the reason BPC was unable to accept the reality that we got down at that bus stop not this and the funniest thing is he knew this all along..But it was gokul who he have to object against...And he just couldn't.



So all hail Gokul...
