Publishing this blog moments after Rajasthan Royals lifted the first ever Indian premier League Trophy. It was the story of underdogs who came out on top. No matter how erratic warne is off the pitch, he is just impeccable on the pitch. The nail biting finish was a fitting end to the tournament. But i still cant comprehend if ipl's a success or failure. The kind of impact it has had i huge in terms of crowd turnout, money outflow etc but the main thing are the local people really passionate about the clubs they support? Millions of people around the world are diehard fans of barca, real, manu, liverpool (me as well :D), juve.... and of course they are not local. IPL can be termed a success once it generates this kind of passion. and i dont see it happening :(
RC Bangalore were really dissappointing..inspite of having a heavily spending owner..they managed to build a test playing tem. But was good to see dravid playing well in the end. Hope we can see some resurgence next year.
One tournament comes to an end and another one looms large...yes its the EURO 2k8 to kick off on june 9th if i am right. I am forced to shift my loyalties from england to spain as england did crash out of the tourney. Pathetic i must say. There is a striking similarity btw indian cricket and england's football. Both have failed to win a major tournamnet in recent years (i exclude the t20 cup :) ). Hoping to see torres scoring some goals.
Well...sports apart....
Still unable to digest the fact that college is over. it cant get sadder than this. and shit...i have to start workin a month's time. I dont think i am ready for that. Only time will tell. In the meanwhile trying to relax and gobble as much as i can..for i ll be missing home food for a few years to come :-(
Nikrap, Venki, Galagala, Pongs, Ragumama, Indra, Bubby, damu, Pavan, Babu....
Gults wing rocked!!!
Miss u all :(
