Henry to Barcelona

Just read the shock news that Arsenal's biggest star ever Thierry Henry has agreed a deal with Barcelona for a transfer fee of 16 million pounds. Still to get over it :(

But time moves on i guess....Arsenal could well come out next season and give an effective reply to all the critics and the naysayers who are saying it's the end of the road for the Gunners. I for one believe so. Here's hoping for the best next season and a couple of new signings to add to Wenger's bunch of super talented kids.

And to Henry..Thanks for the eight years at Arsenal and for all the memories....especially the last minute goal to get the double over Man Utd this past season :)

Cheers

Football, Work, Music, Books....Updates :)

Here I am back again after nearly a month of no posts :)

For a change no post about Football considering the fact that the league is in the midst of a 2 month break. So no updates on football till we get started once again or unless Arsenal make a really big signing :). In any case i think the coming year Arsenal will finally regain the League Title and win the Champions League (No surprises rite? :D)

To matters other than football

(1) Work: Have been working for nearly a month now. Finished with the first week of induction and now in the midst of my 6 weeks of Branch training. Have been assigned to a branch just 5 minutes from my residence so enjoying the luxury of a 5 minute journey to work every day. Too bad it will last for just a month though :D.

It's still early days at work and mebbe I'm speaking too early but I can't help feeling that after all that agonizing and thinking about where I should finally join...and the final decision.. I ended up making the right decision :). Anywayz..let's see if matters change sometime down the line
..I hope not :)

(2) Gymming Sessions: This is my 3rd attempt at trying to get some regularity into my gymming routine and ensuring that I continue the sessions once i start. Hope I'm 3rd time lucky.

After my last attempt at Gymming a couple of months back...had to take a break due to my visits to Chennai and Mangalore...and when I came back to Mumbai was too lazy to join back..so the 10 day break...extended to 1 and a half months :D. Finally decided to stop procrastinating and join back..and yeah the first week was filled with the usual aches and pains which have thankfully subsided now.

(3) Books:Currently reading fantasy....The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud.....Have finished the first book and it's been a great read....If you like Harry Potter or the fantasy genre then I would recommend you give this series a read.

(4) Music: A big fan of the English Oldies.....and have made a lot of people fans of this genre as well......so beginning from this post..will list down some songs which are my personal favorites..and which I would recommend for a listen :D.

Right now Nat King Cole is one of my Favs..so here goes..

(1) LOVE was made for me and you- Nat King Cole .......Lovely lyrics...(L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very, very extraordinary, E is even more than anyone that you adore can)

(2) Unforgettable- Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole...........Beautiful Duet..Lovely lyrics

(3) Paper Roses by Marie Osmond.............A super Oldie.....but never get tired of listening to it...beautiful lyrics again :)

Cheers
