Hi,
Its has been a week with mixed emotions for me... I had my IIT tutions starting this week.The institution which teaches me is called BASE.This meant that the no of hours I could freak out and sit around dreaming and being jobless had come down.....(not fair).But hey there have been good things too Chelsea went through to the champions league semi final(yippee)
In today's post I shall be discussing about Chelsea's triumph in the champions league and the FA cup and Manchester United not so shocking exit out of the FA cup final,kick off of the Indian elections and the so called Indian premier League,has wall street reached its lowest point and a manifesto of the SP party that has driven every
one crazy.........
Firstly I would like to start of with the news on the worlds beautiful game.Chelsea,well they have been on hot for lately beating Liverpool at Anfield at drawing 4-4 at Stamford bridge.This game was breathtaking and I was just glad that the game was over if Chelsea had to play another half an hour I surely would have got a heart attack. Petr Cech was out of confidence and that was a major reason why he conceded four at Stamford bridge.It was a thriller and here is the highlights of the game.Hats off to Liverpool they almost did the impossible.Like the wording goes 'never write Liverpool out' and they almost proved that on the 14th of April.Even Manchester United made it through to the semi finals thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brilliantly struck free kick from 40 yards.....
They play Arsenal who cruised past Villareal winning 4-1 on aggregate,the blues play Barcelona and the Catalan giants are going to be one heck of a task for the golden 'Guss's' men.......
In the FA cup Chelsea came back from behind once again to win 2-1 against Arsenal. The Gunners took the lead after just 19 mins Chelsea equalised just before half time. Then in the 82nd minute Drogba sloted the ball into an empty net and Chelsea were through to the FA cup finals.
In the other game Everton won a nail biting encounter with Manchester United.A penalty shoot out was required to settle the game and Everton won 4-2 on penalties with Berbatov and Ferdinand missing for Manchester United.Everton will play Chelsea at Wembley on the 30th of may....
Next I shall be talking about the Indian elections that have kicked off. The first two phases of the elections Have completed and they have been largely peaceful. This is one election that has been tracked by the Indian media but by the world wide media too.This week's economist cover issue is about the Indian elections.I was taken aback for a second and then I was really pleased to know that India did matter on the Global scale.There were a lot of promises from all parties but its up to what promise the people feel is most important and which party's they can trust and expect them to keep up their promises.............
Another event that kicked of this week was the IPL which is played in South Africa this year due to security reasons.Well, personally I am not at a fan of the IPL and I am totally against commercialising any sport and the IPL seems to be doing just that.unnecessary breaks all is just done for the money.A sense what I get from my Friend's is that the feeling is not the same and that it has become a little boring as there is no buzz drama that constitutes the thriller.Well I Just hope the IPL does go on smooth this season but I hope it is banned from next season or at least the no of games are reduced.......
Next I would like to talk about on how the markets seem to be just turning a little on the brighter side.The feeling that I personally get right now is that the worst part has just past us but its going to take one hell of an effort to bring back this economy back to where it was mid 2007.All the Asian markets mostly seem to be in the green except Japan where it still is quite a battle to boost the economy.Wall street also seems to have just passed the storm and it seems like people have realised that it has plummeted far too much to go down any further.But people are not yet investing as it is just the beginning and with the volatility of the market you would have an absolute moron to invest largely on the stock market.It will take time before all the people like Bernie Madoff who follow the ponzi scheme are eliminated from Wall Street making sure that your shares are much more safer....
Finally I would end this post on something I found an out of the world idea.The Samajwadi Party(contesting for the Indian elections) in its manifesto stated that they would ban English and the use of Internet,well the party did clarify(more of a patch up actually) but surprisingly as pointed by Cyrus Brocha on the show 'week that wasn't' on CNN IBN stated that this was published on the web and was written in English exactly what the party said it would ban.....there is something to think about............
Well that's it for this weeks post
Will be back for the next week's post
Until then,
Take care
