May 17th..D-Day in Paris

Ok folks long time since i updated my blog.....and since i've been getting repeated requests to update...here goes


Firstly Football :D

It's been a good time to be a Gunner fan this past one month....although the form in the EPL has been like a rollercoaster ride .... the form in the Champions League has been been terrific to say the least.

And it all culminated in the final week of the EPL .....Things were simple for Arsenal....win 3 out of the 3 matches to have any chances of qualifying for UCL next season and also hope that Spurs slip up along the way and also there was the small matter of qualifying for the UCL final.

The final day was something I will never forget.....switching between the TV and the comp trying to keep both the games Arsenal V/s Wigan and Spurs V/s West Ham. As things turned out.....both the matches went exactly the way Arsenal wanted.... the celebrations at Highbury were something to be remembered for a long long time.

Won't dwell on the Spurs controversy...but suffice to say that their claims were found to be unfounded by the premier league :D :D

Now...We're on our way to Paris..... Hoping for a great match against Barcelona.....Even though I'm a Die hard supporter of Arsenal ....winning the final seems a wee bit difficult...but as they say...Que Sera Sera....:D :D

Now Summers

Been enjoying the 2 months here at Mumbai....even though the weather is baking hot and the daily travel in the crowded locals don't do too much to help :D .. Spend my travelling time catching up on a lot of reading...in this month have finished with the exploits of Psmith from PGW, Maximum City b Suketu Mehta which in my opinion gives you a view on Mumbai which is vastly different from the one's we are used to seeing .... Suketu's accounts of the Gangsters personal lives are chilling to say the least......all in all it makes for a good read.

Now back to reading Jefferey Archer "As the Crow flies" which seems to be a pretty good book.....Interesperse this with "The UnderCover Economist" which is a great book to learn 'Practical' Economics and should be a good read for anyone remotely intersted in teh subject :D



Hmm..coming to music...spending my time listening to cover versions of songs by the group which calls it self "Gregorian" ....Have a listen for some really different take on contemporary music.

Their versions of "Brothers in Arms" originally by Dire Straits and "Losing my religion" by REM are great to listen to.


Ok,..that concludes this post.....one of my longer ones...hope to keep updating this blog more regularly from now on :D

May17th ..D-Day :D ....Here's to a Gunners Victory!!
