Looking for old players but young coach
after the immense success of pep guardiola at barcelona everyone is looking for a young ex player to be their gaffer milan are looking up to leonardo (full report) and juve looking at antonio conte it is a kind of mystery why the english league has less younger managers than compared to the continent for eg: Valencia are lead by Unai emery who is 37 and espanyol were saved by mauricio pocchetino who is 36 and many others so i all my friends who are fans of united have a deep look at fergie's son darren ferguson he has just lead his team peterbrough to the championship and was the league one coach of the year it would be great if they can get an agreement where they could bring him by the end of the season

Paanch rupah Chutae do
No this is no new madhur bandharkar movie or anyother movie this was the line uttered to me by a bus conductor for change. now this is normal in Delhi or Mumbai But in chennai ???????????????????????? excuse me this is the place of anti hindi riots and then this... This incident took place yesterday when i was returnin back after submitting an application and was coming back home when i got into this AC bus and the conductor gave me a ticket of 25 rs i gave him a 100 rs note and then he uttered that phrase "Paanch rupah Chutae do" i dint understand at all what he was tryin to say i asked him what he repeated it and this shocked me for all the loyal tamil followers and faithfuls this was like the destruction of planet krypton the language they hated was used in public by state govt employees and what pleasure for those who fought for hindi..... and i was there dint what to do... i jus took a 5rs coin and took my seat for good the whole trip i was thinking abt this and i still cant digest this
The curious case of chennai climate
In our primary classes it has been trashed into our heads that there are 4 seasons in a year and suddenly in chennai i can see either of these cases... 3 seasons(i.e.autumn,spring and winter) are bored to come out or have been kidnapped by local political lynch pins.
Either way the summer is taking out its fury the climate is horrible here its constantly close to 40 degrees and 90% humidity am cursing myself why dint i make more of my chance to leave this city. I still regret missing out on tiss.

Fear of the Middle One
we are very heard of claustrophobia, Xenophobia and phobophobia but hereby i disclose my biggest phobia and it is Eunuchs. Oh am scared of them i once got so scared i ran away just to help myself to get a barrage of abuses from the people on platform into whom i ballasted in...( he he you don't want a near 5'10 170 pound guy to run into you) but coming back to the point of my phobia am still searchin on wikipedia if there is a name for this fear if not i have to christen one for it and belive me it will be horrible i hate transgenders and this fear dates back to about 10 years when every summer vaccation i used to go to delhi or come back from bombay and normally we used to come in the air conditioned coaches or so once we could not get the tickets and had to go by normal sleeper class and here is where i saw my nemesis i was laid back at that time reading tinkle digest(i was just 8) and i was in the upper berth suddenly this gigantic character shows up and with one hand it literally picked me up and asked " PAISA DO " like a killer threatning his prey i was scared and all my family members were fast asleep and i dint know to do anything i gave 2 rupees (that was worth a lot for me at that time) and i thought he/she or that will leave me instead it put its hand in my troussers and took away my hard earned ... :) 20 rupees and threw me man i was scared and i am stilll.. the latest encounter was in bombay when i got out of the airport and went to catch an autorickshaw for santacruz bus terminus and as soon as i reached there out of the blue it jumped and caught my head and asked me to pay as i was paying the auto fella and demanded 500 rupees or else it wont leave me i was cursin god !!!!! why me ......and i gave the 10 rs change of auto and said i dont have a single penny and i dont earn so leave me and it dint belive me i jus pointed out my money is with my dad and it turned towards him and boy i ran away from it have to say the air of freedom is so nice ... and thankfully till now that is my last conflict with it i jus pray that IT does not antagonize me and make it a lost conflict
With Dayanidhi maran
Well this post was supposed to come to weeks ago but i postponed it due to exams..... :). But this was a great experience we had for a program called youth for change in NDTV where we quizzed Dayanidhi Maran on the recent issues as young first time voters and surprisingly we got pretty clear and straight forward answers we were mentally prepared to do the best of our acts of David Frost and Jeremy paxman put together and we did put him in a lot of uncomfortable situations especially me with whom we had a conversation of upto 5 mins on a topic relating to dynasty politics he thought i will be ignorant and wont answer back to him but i stung him with my quick answers and he resorted to an contentless question just to show as if he knew more as it was going in vain..soon we realized that i was hogging up the light and other people had to ask questions so i let it go...... but it was a good feeling of not giving up to a politician and was cursed by a few guys as their part of questioning in the video was cut and i had the biggest share yipeeee.............
