Germany showed on Friday night what Home -Advantage was.In the penalty shoot-out the crowd gave them the momentum that they needed to sail past the fancied Argentine team.Talent was overshadowed by Crowd support.Its a natural phenomenon.
Office is full of Argentine fans and I am more or less the lone German supporter...Hope the frustrated fans keep their emotions in check!!!
The shockof the turnament came when the favourites for the title- Brazil were eliminated by their old nemisis -France!Portugal was one up over England in the lottery
all eyes to thesemi finals on tuesday and wednesday...maythe best teams win!!!!

What a Day !
The match between Fed-Ex and Nadal went to the wire ...Nadal won the 4th set in a tie break...had he lost in the tie break..he would have certainly won the 5th and the match...Alas..he can;t conquer clay and Nadal..Cheers to Nadal
In F1 Alonso won in Britan and Shumi was 2nd..Shumi is still in the hunt 23 points behind ...can he catch up?
India are pounding on the Agony...God knows when Dravid will declare..
And the dutch prevailed over serbia 1-0

Super Sport Sunday
Today is June 11...what a day for sport buffs...
Lets start with Tennis.Not since the days of Agassi and Sampras in the mid 90's has such a famed rivalry taken on the awe of the tennis world.Fed-Ex and Nadal.The 2 best players of the world are gonna lock horns once again , this time in Paris.While Fed is the reigning No 1, Nadal (World No 2) is the master of clay, the surface on which the French open is played. Nadal enjoys a 5-1 win/loss recordover Fed...something none of his other compatriots can boast of...
Moving to formula 1, the British Gp is here.Alonso has taken the pole followed by Kimi and Micheal in that order.Alonso looks unstoppable so far this season, theonly semblence of a fight has been from Ferrari's Micheal Schumacher.Questions about Micheal's future are the major gossiping point all over the Racing world with tranfers being discussed..and no one sure where they will go.Kimi has been a distant 3rd so far, with Mclaren having major reliability problems.Wait for the drama to unfold at Silverstone.
The world cup group stage matches go on ....and it becomes more interesting as the days go by
And finallywe have the rejuvinated Indian Cricket team playing in the 2nd test at St Lucia.Sehvag has set the pace with a almost Run-a-ball 180 and the visitors finished at 361/4 yesterday...lets see whats in store for Dravid and his Men today.

Basant cup semi final 1
Something very strange happened at Basanti Cup last week.. The clear favorites (Bhau's team) was made to bite the dust by Sid and his boys.It was a brilliantr turnaround after Sid's team could muster only 60 odd runs in their innings .But batting against Sajjad and Co turned out to be a nightmare for Bhau's team.With ghiyaz out due to a sore back,they didn't have a great batting lineup and everyone looked rusty. Dany Matthew was a lone warrior and battled till the end.In the end the task got a bit big on him and he crumbled under pressure. PGP2 teams take a lesson from Sid and boys...

Happy New Year
This New Year has been one of the best I have had for years.I mean the New Year celebrations . Except the fact that I was not with my family, everything else was so great.
It all started with an evening at Onkar’s house .Onkar is a batch mate of mine who stays in Panjim .He was kind enough to invite some of us to his house for tea. We all ate dholkas and jalebis here (Yummy!!!).
After this I was back on campus at around 7.had to go for a party so got all ready. I was wearing proper formals complete with blazer and formal suit for the party, because that was the dress code!
After we friends were ready we decided to dine out , so went to our favorite restaurant in Goa. Don Pedro’s. Amazing dishes, but mostly non – vegetarian, so veggies stay away.
After food we went to a friends house to pick her. She also bought her cousin along, my date for the evening. A very pleasant personality and I did enjoy her company.
Now to the party. The place is Rendezvous, same club where we had this year’s GIM fresher party. I didn’t actually want to go there but then democracy rules and my group wanted to go here. I had no problems, it’s important to be with our friends for New Year, place isn’t so important.
The dance was more formal, so I didn’t actually like it.The count down to the New Year was great and so were the hugs and kisses after the New Year started. We danced to some foot tapping music before it was time for the Miss teen contest there. The contestants were good looking but somehow their answers to questions by the judges were not that good
Anyway we got out of that place at 3:30.went to Miramar CCD but found it crowded so went to the Panjim CCD.sat there doing gupshup for an hour and then went back to campus.
Once back on campus, we thought about going on a road trip and seeing the sunrise somewhere at a vantage point. So we reached the 17th century built Aguada fort and from there we viewed the rising sun. After that me and a friend, Nandan went down the western cliff before the fort till we reached the ocean. After taking some snaps we came back .It was 8:30 by this time.
I remembered that my mom had told me to attend mass and reaching Panjim for 9 am mass didn’t look possible .So I decided to go to my friend Sharon’s house for mass. She has a chapel just outside her house, in her yard. After attending mass there we came back on campus.
I had a late breakfast and slept. It was around 11:30 AM by the time I slept. It was a long and eventful night
Happy New Year everyone
