Zidane headbutts Materazzi - BEST ANGLE!!!

WOW.....Great way to end a career!!!(MAYBE NOT)

AND THe WINNER IS......

After long waiting their blue shirts were far more superior than the opposition's whites.....they made Mr.World Cup wear a cap.....still cant guess it?????? It was....ITALIA!!!! The pressure started crawling in for both teams from the word GO!! The seventh minute penalty by ZIZOU did go in anddid credit him with a goal but didn't manage to send the azzuris back home that early!!! Italians soon equalised by MATERAZZI's spectacular header!! Being Zidane's last game he was playing at his best showing all his skills but couldn't manage to get the golden ball past the goalkeeper into the net, as a matter of fact none of the sides could!!!!The game reached extra time after high intense drama!!!But......who knew that we were going to witness some more drama!!!!Zidane headbutted Materazzi in his frustration....luckily the referee didn't notice it but this is exactly the reason why we have assistant referees!!! Zidane's outrageous header on the Italian's chest was surely an invitation for a red card and what do you know he got it!!!Not quite a dream end for his career!!!! after 30 minutes of offence and defence the game reached the penalties!!! Not having a very good record in penalties everyone was sure for FRANCE but......the AZZURIS can surprise people!!!They got all five of them in....on the other hand France got only 3!!! hahaha!!! THE WC CHAMPIONS....THE BEST TEAM OF THE YEAR......THE UNDERDOGS....ITS....ITS....ITS......INDIA....hehehe just joking.....ITS ITALIA!!!

Sadness!!!

There always comes a time in a person's long life where depression takes over a man's senses and it seems as if you are the only person living!! I am talking about this as i have experienced this dreadful feeling!!yes, i have!! WHEN BRAZIL LOST TO FRANCE BECAUSE OF A SINGLE GOAL JUST AFTER RONALDO BROKE GERD MULLER'S RECORD AND WHEN I GOT OVER THAT...POTUGAL TOO LOST TO FRANCE!!!! DAMMIT!!!YEH NAA INSAAFI HAI !! BUT FINALLY JUSTICE PREVAILED AND ITALY HAS BEEN SENT TO THE FINAL BEATING THE HOSTS AND DOSTS GERMANY..... hahahahahha!!! And now i am sitting on my chair thinking about what those idiotic FRENCH have in store for the ferocious AZZURIS!!!! god please dont let depression set in again and make my day by blessing the azzuris with your powers!!!GO ITALIA!!!

THis pic has the celebrating styles that he has used in all his 15 goals!!!

FIVE POINT SOMEONE!!

five point someone

What not to do at I I T !

This book by CHETAN BHAGAT is certainly not about how to get into I.I.T. or for that matter about how to stay in it. It’s actually about ‘what not to do in I.I.T. ‘. This book is good to read in one’s spare time and is basically fun though it becomes boring at times.

It’s about three students, Alok, Ryan and Hari, who have just joined I.I.T. and have already become close friends. It’s about their life in the institute. They were very laidback and wanted to enjoy the best years of their life. As a result they got a five point something GPA, which by I.I.T. standards was simply pathetic.

Ryan, the lazy genius, was the undisputed leader of the gang and also the cause for Hari and Alok’s downfall. It seemed his word was law for his friends.

Alok was the over-burdened son of a poor family that was depending on him to solve all its problems by getting a good job. Hari, on the other hand was the average Joe. Most of the time Alok was sceptical about Ryan’s decisions but eventually went along with them as it was a losing battle trying to argue with the other two.

After they got their first semester GPAs, Alok decided to walk away from the gang and ended up with Venkat, the mean, lean, mark-scoring machine. But Alok was certainly not happy being with Venkat and soon came back. They dealt with the fact that they were five pointers by a form of denial and defiance. Meanwhile, Hari was carrying on an increasingly serious love affair with Neha. She was another confused kid, who happened to be the daughter of Cherian, the tyrannical professor of Industrial Engineering. Soon the fourth year came. Hari desperately wanted to do well in Industrial Engineering in order to impress Professor Cherian. His miserable failures in this quest are hilariously described. Finally Ryan came up with the hare-brained idea of stealing the exam papers from Cherian’s office. They, however messed up this task much worse than their classes. They got caught red handed and their fate was in the Disco’s (disciplinary committee) hands. Prof. Veera, the only professor in the institute who Ryan, Hari and Alok admired, tried to help them. He was part of the committee but the Disco doesn’t care or spare that easily. The only thing they do is…..SCARE. The three musketeers were suspended for an entire semester in their last year. Unable to take the pressure, Alok tried to kill himself by jumping off the institute roof. He barely survived this blow.

Prof. Veera then advised them to work on Ryan’s lube project, in the hope that they might get a clean grade sheet and perhaps jobs. They were successful in this and finally Cherian approved their project and all of them ended up with decent jobs. Ryan started working with professor Veera, Alok got a job in Delhi and was soon sent to the U.S. The salary he was receiving got rid of all his family problems. Hari too got a satisfactory job in Bombay.

This isn’t just a book about three bumbling IITians. It’s about how sometimes the system and the teachers get a bit harsh on the students and don’t realise it. It’s also about knowing what’s important in life and to maintain a balance between having fun and being serious. WORK hard, party hard, this should be the motto of every student !! What makes this story so special is that every student can relate to the maddening pressure, the scary profs not to mention the back-breaking homework pictured in this book.

Whether it’s Hari showing up drunk for his viva or Ryan’s crazy schemes or even Alok’s depression — this book can’t be ignored.

24th JUNE-----GERMANY vs SWEDEN!!

The first half was a nightmare for Sweden!! PODOLSKI started the scoring!!

Brazil has finally showed why they are the world champions!!! ZICO's Japanese side did fairly well getting the ball in the oppositions half occasionally but the Brazilian side was certainly dominating the game!! Japan's TAMADA's superb goal in the 34th minute shocked the Brazilian fans!!Alex gave a fine pass to TAMADA who slammed the ball at the back of the net!! The Brazilian side looked tense but RONALDINHO, Cicinho and of course RONALDO helped to eleminate this pressure!! It was Ronaldinho's cross to Cicinho who headed it to Ronaldo who put his head to the ball and it went to the back of the net in the extra time of the first half!! After this there was no stopping the Brazilians. Juninho scored a blinder from way out of the penalty box in the 53rd minute....25 yards to be precise!! Then it was GILBERTO's turn to score!! Ronaldinho gave a wonderful pass for GILBERTO to get and he scored with ease!! RONALDO had the last word scoring from a distance of 20 yards in the 81st minute!! The ball curled straight into the net helping RONALDO equal the record of German legend GERD MULLER of highest number of goals scored.....14!!! IN THE END BRAZIL WON 4-1!!

22nd JUNE-----GHANA vs US!!

Ghana, surprisingly showing that african nations can do it as well!! The scoring started in the 22nd minute with GHANA's DRAMAN who, in a very chilled manner put the ball straight in the net!!! Then in the 43rd minute US equalised. Beasley took the ball in midfield and gave it to DEMPSEY who smashed it into the net!!! Minutes after this goal, GHANA recieved a penalty kick thank to OGUCHI for pushing PIMPONG!! APPIAH doesn't miss many and he didn't this time!! He took the lead for GHANA!! After this the scoreline stayed this way with GHANA destroying U.S.'s chance of winning!!

Brazil is still not in its top form but hey do not need to be!!!They went on to beat the socceroos on the 18th of JUNE!!The aussies were handling everything that was thrown at them in the first half!! But the second half story was different......it was the 49th minute in which RONALDINHO gave the ball to RONALDO who passed it on to ANDRIANO to do the job!!! In the 90th minute the socceroos were deperate to get a goal....in the process ROBINHO took a shot on goal but sadly it hit the crossbar but it landed in substitute,FRED's legs who got it into the empty net!!! BRASIL did it again!!!! I know that BRAZIL is not in their top form but meri taraf se BRASIL jeete gi!!!

He scored his second goal in the 41st minute!!! Messi made his first WORLD CUP FINALS appearance ever and soon came into the action by helping Hernan Crespo get a goal of his own!!!This was scored in the 78th minute!!

In the 58th minute Eriksson made a double substitution, bringing on ROONEY and LENNON!!!This speeded up the game...the ball was moving faster between players because of Rooney and Lennon's speed!! Then finally after waiting for 83 minutes Beckham's cross was headed past the goalkeeper into the net by Peter CROUCH!!! Then in the 91st minute, Gerrard pulled off a phenomenal goal which should have come quite earlier as some fans might think!! The scoreline at the end of the match was 2-0!!

12th JUNE-----Socceroos vs Japanis

Woooh!! What a match....absolutely phenomenal!!!Japan was one goal up with the help of Shunsuke Nakamura's 26th-minute goal!!Till the 80th minute there were no signs of the australians getting an equaliser but then Australia made a substitution which changed the whole match!!!! IT WAS TIM CAHILL that did it for the SOCCEROOS!!! This is a perfect example of 'never say die'. He scored the equalizer in the 84th minute and just to take the game over to his side scored a spectacular 89th minute goal....and...to make the win look better...John Aloisi did the job.

11th JUNE-----Portugal vs Angola!!

THE RULED VS THE RULER The first 10 minutes were really interesting.....but after that the match dragged on!!!
