HEARTBEAT

Cloud Nine in a marriage hall

Alpha — Fri, 11 May 2007 17:48:38 +0000

Comparing a boy with a girl to make either of their lives ridiculous or wonderful have become a tradition in our marriage proceedings.I was the scape goat during my cousins marriage.Walking in the midst of age old maami`s with my eyes blinking on seeing every face(unknowing how they are related to me) was a glit feeling.

“You are the only son of ***.what are you doing. Are u married.how come your parents haven`t searched a match.how is the girl standing near the doors………….”

Lol how many questions on a boy`s head who had come out of the college recently and trying to enjoy his life at max after getting rid of exams.Getting out of this armed (with words) military troops was similar to the escape of the rat from the cat.Fortunately i touched the finish line without a pair(girls and ladies please note) .

Time for a beggar

Alpha — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 06:06:32 +0000

Today morning i was travelling in the two wheeler with my dad.Usually on holiday`s he used to drop me wherever i want.It would take me 2 hrs to reach from my home to destination.
We were travelling in the roads of saidapet( one of the traffic filled roads in chennai).I used to wave my neck around 180 degrees to see every peoples reaction when they are caught up in the traffic.One such day was today.I was looking anxiously inside a bus.But my dad was looking the other way around.I didnt mind this for a min.But when the vechicles started moving i wanted to see what my dad was seeing.It was a beggar maid who was standing in front of a car.The owner of the car has given her 50 paise .The beggar maid has given 5 rupees and 50 paise back to him and she went begging to the next car.The owner of the car was annoyed and immediately rolled the glasses of the window to hide his face behind.

Boxing Day – part I

Everybody could get a doubt about the title of the contents.The following events could give you an idea why the author has named it in a peculiar fashion.
scene 1:5.45 AM Venue : Road
i have started for a jog.I was running at my own pace.Every day i used to jog to a shorter distance , walk a while , jog once again and reach the driving school.But today it was different.I was having an illusion that somebody was chasing me.No,its not an illusion its real, A fat brown british bull dog was chasing me at its own speed which was atleast five times of mines.
Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i ran for my life.I havent stopped for a short while and the idea of a walk had not even reached my sixth sense.I ran at a pace which made people to think that i could be a burgler.
Alas!!! i escaped i escaped narrowly.If i would have reduced my speed atleast six pounds of my flesh would have taken from my body.
Scene2 :8.45 AM venue : Bus stop
I used to reach the bus stop by around 8.30 am which would be a comfortable time to catch up a seat .But today i was bit late and reached the stop by around 8.45 am (the time when bus was about to leave).I caught the running bus and was standing in the steps.The driver of the bus has spoken to me in the sweetest words which made everybody to look at me
“Savugrachi…Nee sagarthuku en bus dan kedachida”..
A good translation would be of similar type
“Yo dude ,Is my bus a place for you to rest in peace”

199 for 2 -NO- 234 for 2

Alpha — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:55:08 +0000

Is it a cricket score….nope…it is the offer given by pizza hut.It is for two people with the recipes worth only 199 totally.The receipe include a pizza each(either veg or sandwich), garlic bread each , a soup(mushroom or tomatto ) each and a desert each.The items mentioned in the list were good and upto their mark .I was enjoying my dinner with my old friend who was sharing the good old school memories.We were discussing about the past ,the future , and the road ahead!!!!! It took us more than a hour to complete the favourites.I was repeatedly having a look into the menu card to confirm whether it was 199 rs.And it was so.My friend who was noticing my actions got suspicious and asked me whether i have the right amount.Unfortunately i was not carrying my card.And my wallet was sleeping at my home.i replied that i have extra 50 rs with which we can finish our dinner with a little coke.But atlast the bill was generated and my eyes came peeping out of my eye lids .The bill was 234 rs including the service tax .What a eye wash.Luckily i was having extra 50 rs which helped me to give some tips to the pizza boys.

CLOUD NINE AT THE FALL OF BARCA

Alpha — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 07:23:29 +0000

I am at cloud nine due to the fall of big sporting club barca.I was awaiting for this moment for nearly two years.Many might compare me to a saddist,but i am least bothered.

The mid week was good for all real madrid fans across the globe.Not only real won their champions league tie up against bayern but also their fierce rivals barca has lost to liverpool 1-2.The score might be simple for those who are looking at this for the first time.But barca has given two away goals for liverpool yesterday night which is crucial.And now they are inneed to score two away goals at anfield which is not so easy.Liverpool is know for their defence.It is not easy to penetrate the fence built by their leader Rafeal benitz using the peoples sami hyppia , jamie carragher, steve finnan and john arnan riise .dont forget the lights of mohammed sissoko who would stand like a big elephant before this fence .And there is a fifth defender named pepe reina(goal keeper).So totally liverpool is having 7 people who will defend their lead which was acheived in camp nou.The preview of this movie was shown yesterday at nou camp.After having a goal lead they are in defensive mood till the end.It was very difficult for brazillian playmaker Ronaldhino, Argentina`s future maradona – messi,portugese playmaker -deco ,to penetrate this defence.The passing options were limited .Liverpool isolated deco and ronaldhino and took both of them to the opposite ends.I was very happy when the referre blew the final whistle to complete the match.

Meanwhile real got a goal lead against bayern munich(3-2).But they are also not in a comfirtable position.If bayern scores a goal in allianz arena the coin may show its other face.Hope this will not happen

Hurray Barca out of top eight teams in the champions league …

Spanish primera Title hots up

Alpha — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 06:18:34 +0000

A week full of excitement in the spanish primera has ended up in dissatisfaction.

February -17

Real Madrid Vs Real Betis

The match which was expected by madrid to win has went neither way.Madrid was 5 points behind the leaders barca during the start of this match.Before this match there was hue and cry for madrid`s successive defeats .Fans at santiago bernabeu is not feeling pride about the clubs recent form and they want Fabio capello`s men to score .The game was mostly dominated by the home team.But chances were very little near the six yard box.Ruud was playing in his own league.There no big passes or crosses to him except from beckham at 60 th min .Real was no way near to the betis defence

Betis had one option in the whole match but they didnt use it properly .The goal was open and they didnt manage to score .At the end it is 0-0 a draw

Barca-Valencia

Boy !! what a match.The scenario is exhillariting.Barca is having internal collision.which made the tough team to come down mentally.Cameroonean striker eto`o is left back at home.Messi is not starting up.The match where the barca`s midfield is likely to rock on.But valencia`s defence was upto the mark.After 7 mins Valencia got an opportunity to score but victor valdes has averted the chances for valencia to goahead .

After 20 mins the ball possesion was 67% to 37% in favour of barca.Everytime i saw gudo johnsen with a ball i thought barca will be netting this time definitely.But the whole scenario was different with formidable ayala rocking like a wall.

The first half went completed with a score of 0-0 .But in started the second half .After 7 mins valencia`s forwards found the nets once.Even now barca`s forwards were formidable. they kept on creating chances.But at 15 th min there was a huge blow.valencia found the nets for the second time making it 2-0.Immediately Frank Rijaard replaced messi for gudojohnsen.But chances remained less when compared to first half.Meanwhile the clash between albeda and deco had made them to end up with the red cards.Now both the teams are having 10 men .

Meanwhile valencia has replaced both the strikers villa and morrientes with two defenders.Whoooooooo end of barca .Five defenders with two center defend midfielders.But now there are too many free kicks when compared to the first half.There were six free kicks in last 10 mins.But everything went in vain

Now the match into the extra time.

4 mins of extra time is not sufficient to turn things around.But it is sufficient to take one goal lead.Predicted correctly 100%.Brazillian star and barca`s back bone roanldihno has scored a goal from the free kick making it 2-1 .with two mins left valencia`s defence is also tight to penetrate.

A scinillating match which ended up in valencia`s favour.Not only valencia`s favour but for other teams also

Sevilla VS Atletico madrid

The match was totally dominated by sevilla with 3-1 victory

Now the title race for spanish primera has hotted up

Barca and sevilla sharing the first position with 46 points, real and valencia sharing the third and fourth with 42 points.

The tough matches for the clubs during the future.But for a spectator what a feast!!!!!!!!!!!

Barca vs Real madrid

Real madrid vs valenca

Real madrid vs sevilla

Barca vs Sevilla

Valencia vs sevilla

Five great matches for one big cup

Next step is Liverpool vs barca and Real madrid vs bayern munich on 21 and 20 th of february respectively..

IS IT THE END OF AUSSIES ERA??

Alpha — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 08:31:35 +0000

Today aussies has been beaten for third time continuesly .Unluckily for the world champs their key players are injured or they are not in their best of their forms.I was suprised to see the pitch in wellington today.It was filled with moist .And the team which won the toss will surely elect to bowl first.Unluckily the world champs lost the toss.After loosing the earliest wickets of Phil jaques,Brad haddin and Matthew hayden, it was job for hussey(captain) and hodge to show their true natures.But the giants were unable to face the swinging ball.When hodge stepped in bond was having a dream figures of his live

Bowling overs Maidens Runs Wickets Economy

SE Bond 6 2 7 2 1.05

boy!!!! wat a figure….Soon hodge and hussey fell prey for the kiwi`s bowling attack after having a patnership of just 41 runs.And atlast australia was bundled out for 149 runs.In the history of world cricket this was the first time australia was bundled less than 150 runs after 27 years.Lastly it happend during the 1979 world cup.

After seeing the moist in the morning i thought the aussies bowling attack could turn things around.But after seeing the track i found even the goddess of cricket also doesn`t favour the world champs.There was a hot sun baking the warm pitch.There is no moist.The ball was coming to the bat .Lou vincent and stephen fleming were enjoying their honey moon period.They whacked aussies to all parts of the grounds.Finally Mcgrath finished with this bowling figures

Bowling overs Maidens Runs Wickets Economy

GD McGrath 6 1 23 0 3.83

Is this the bowling figure expected from the world class hall of fame bowler like mcgrath??.when his opponent of same quality (Bond-Pace bowler) finished with 5 wickets.Atleast mcgrath should have taken a wicket to change things around!!

Time is the only person who can say whether aussies will come back after these humiliating defeats from the hands of English men and the Kiwis

Hope we think aussies will turn things around in near future

Today i was inside spencers on a mission (for those who doesnt know what is spencer`s here goes the definition of it:It is one of the best shopping malls of chennai.)You can find many shops over here in rows selling varies items which suites the needs of all kinds of people.

I was inside this big shopping mall for buying a small wallet.When i was searching the right shop i found many people sitting in the basement with a ice creams in their hands.Concentrating on my work(purchasing the wallet) i was searching for the shops.many shops were selling the product with varied prices.After reviewing all the options i bought one .When i came back after nearly an hour the same pair of couples were sitting in the basement but people were sitting empty handed and chatting with each other.Fortunately i found a boy in the midst of couples who turned out to my oldest buddy.He tried to hide is face by moving behind his girl.Since i know the damn face for more than 10 years i found who it is .I dont want to go and talk to him directly since his girl was near by.When i rang his mobile he said to me that he has come along with his friend and they are in their project discussion.Project discussion in spencers at 1.00pm in a week day for a couple who are working in the corporate services .Hell what a false statement it is and the best joke ever i heard.

After seeing many people over there i found ninty percentage of the people in the gang with the with the same taste.Just putting kadalai without even a ice cream.Now i found the best hideout after the office hours
