roots , bloody roots

my life . my soul . my reason

I'm looking for a beat
Checking out a groove
Calling on a crazy

You wanna take a ride
What a look alike
Whatcha say baby

They staring at us
C'mon get up
And they call us lazy

Say come and take a sip
Ride a Zupertrip
Get it on easy

My life, my soul, my reason
My world, my way to be

Try walking on a slide
So I could try put you on a go-go

Hey why don't you come with me
Or maybe go solo

And looking like a punk rolled into a skunk
Calling for a may-day

You sophisticate I lubricate
Say it's not in my taste

My life, my soul, my reason
My world, my way to be

outplayed , but not outdone

Yes , I am a sulking Manchester United fan , after Wednesday night's miserable defeat to the 'el magnifico' barcelona . The point is I wouldnt have felt so bad , if United would have put up a real fight . Just as we were getting back into the game, messi nailed it with his header . Xavi and Iniesta made Carrick , Giggs and Anderson , look like schoolboys . Its not the defeat , but the manner of defeat , which makes this one very hard to take. Well, like 2 eyes , 2 ears , 1 nose and blah ... everyone has also got an opinion. So heres my opinion on what Man United need to do to retain their status as the best club in the world (which they still are .. form is temporary , class is permanent !)

Goalkeeper : Uncle van der sar has been a great servant to the club during his time , but hes 38 now and seriously we need someone fresher between the posts now . Ben Foster and Kuszack should be getting the nod now

Defence : Whatever happened to Rio and Vida in Rome . They seemed like they had a pint too many before the game !!??? The problem area here is first and foremost the right back position . We need a Dani Alves or Malouda type player there , to turn defence into attack . With all due respect to Gary Neville , but he too is getting old now . Plus there is a huge problem there if Rio or Vida get injured . Backup ??? Johny Evans .... we need atleast one more experienced CB as cover !!!

Midfield : This is one area of the field which used to be our strength , and now I think has become our weakness :( ... After the Giggs-Scholes-Keane-Beckham era , i dont think our midfield has ever been the same again . Giggs and Scholes are red legends , and they will always be , but now surely age is catching up with them . So basically we are left with Ronaldo , Fletcher , Anderson , Hargreaves , Park , Nani , Carrick minus Scholesy and Giggsy i.e . Hardly intimidating :| !! Carrick is a choker , yes , he is a choker on the big stage . Nani ??? ... what the heck is he ??? he is better off doing gymnastics i think.Park , with all due respect , he is pretty average . Anderson ,,, i dont know why people like him ?? he hasnt scored since starting off at united ... We need a playmaker and a winger (maybe a couple of them if Ronaldo leaves) . A kaka and a couple of Ribery clones will surely make this team unbeatable , cos at the moment whatever games we are losing , we are losing it because the opposition midfiled has outplayed ours. Seriously this is one department where SAF should be looking to make major changes .

Attack : If Tevez is leaving , that leaves us with Rooney and Berbatov (more like Berba-fuckoff) as the only two recognized strikers . What the hell is happening in this department , i seriously cant understand . We need another world class striker !!! How we miss Ruud :( ... Get David Villa , even if he costs 50 Million $ or something .... if he clicks , he'll be worth every single penny.

That said and done , I think SAF should really look to bolster his squad now and beat the shit outta Barcelona if we meet them again in next year's CL . I am totally willing to play in the team (if people like anderson can play , so can I).

these are the champions !

wow wow wow

the dream final everybody was looking for , its Manchester United v/s Barcelona ... the holders v/s the bookies' favorites . Its gonna be one heck of a final .... I have full faith in Man United , a full strength Manchester United side can beat any team in the world on their day , but still , United cant afford to get complacent . Barcelona are chasing a treble this season , and their annihilation of real madrid earlier this season has left little doubt in the minds people about their attacking prowess ,, but minus abidal and minus dani alves , will they have enough cover at the back to stop rooney and co. .... cant wait for 27th of May !!

be are sho cool !

this ones dedicated to all the small town people who move into Pune and suddenly give a new meaning to the "pigeon turning into swan" story . Lets start with a college kid who comes here from Ratnagiri or something and joins some college here in Pune . Within one month "bhai" turns to "dude" , pleated trousers are replaced by baggies and converse all stars are the must haves *yawn , so fucking cliche* . "Dude" buys a motorcycle and goes to parties and jives to music which suddenly becomes his favorite*even though he is actually hearing it for the first time*. He knows the guitarist of the city's unknown , unheard of some local third grade apparent rock band , who he claims plays at his birthday bash . "Dude" smokes up every evening and screams "woooooooooo........." from his terrace, which he thinks is causing trouble to the neighbours and is his idea of telling the world "we rule , woooooooooo" . "Dude" even has a guitar at his apartment , which apparently he has never made an effort to learn , but still the chicks will think he plays the guitar "wooooooooo ........" . "Dude" doesnt drink "doodh" anymore , he drinks beer all the time . *yeah ! dude so fucking rules man*.

Next we have a girl who has just joined an IT company in Pune and she hails from Bahadurgarh . She weighs just under 80 kilos and has a face that could remind you about the uncut watermelon in your refrigerator , but still , madam tries to act all feminine and petite . Madam has the figure of Amrish Puri in his youth , but still wears body hugging clothes , the ass seems as if its gonna explode , but still madam wears tight fitting jeans . She has just rented a flat in Aundh , and she lives with her college friends from Bahadurgarh. They are 5 girls staying in a 2 BHK apartment . Madam has just got infected with the "cool" bug . Madam wears make up every morning as if its her wedding , and finishes a bottle of sabse sasta cologne out there in a week . She thinks a guy who wishes her "good morning" is hitting on her . Madam has chocolate milkshake every morning , but ofcourse with skimmed milk , cos shes really into losing weight these days *hope you got the pun in the last sentence* . Madam has a big gang in office , with whom she goes to have lunch in the office cafeteria . The more the number of tables that madam has to join to accomodate her friends , the more popular madam is , and the more people think that "oh my good , they have so many friends !" . *see we have such a big gang of friends , we could like fill noah's ark all by ourselves*. On the weekends madam goes out to have ganne ka juice in the morning , and then makes aalu puri , on which one of madam's friends starts crying "mummy ki yaad aa rahi hai" . The bahadurgarh gang then go out and party on saturday night , with a trip to McDonalds . They even click pictures there , and even ask someone to click a pic with all 5 of them in it. *awww , sob sob* . Madam has never wore anything apart from a suit all her life , but she goes out to Pune Central to buy herself tight fitting tops and jeans *provided theres a sale ofcourse* . Converse all stars are also the latest must haves *jeez , all stars are sho cool* . Madam is a powerful woman of today and is all set to make it into the 100 most powerful women of the world list within 5 years for sure !

Last but not the least we have mr.kool bwaaye from Dariyapur . 'kool bwaaye' , has just moved to Pune to work in sabsetez infotech . 'kool bwaaye' has coloured hair , which looks like hes fallen head first into a shit pot which has not been flushed for about a week. 'kool bwaaye' has heard one song by green day and his orkut profile says "totally into rock music". 'kool bwaaye' owns a Pulsar which is his only claim to fame . 'kool bwaaye' has just patao-fied a bandi from office , and his life is settled now . 'kool bwaaye' has a big gang of friends from office, and they go to see movies at e-square morning shows every weekend . 'kool bwaaye' has just started reading "3 mistakes of my life" and thinks it is the finest piece of literature hes ever read . *actually which is true* . 'kool bwaaye' goes to MG Road with his girlfriend to do 'window shopping' , and hes actually not bought anything since the last clearance sale . 'kool bwaaye' puts photos with him posing as a bodybuilder every other day on orkut and the profile pic will usually be that of him holding a guitar even though hes never actually held one before. 'kool bwaaye' goes to crossword and asks whether they have facebook ? . 'kool bwaaye' thinks the 4 people he lives with in his flat are the 'wackiest dudes on the planet , the coolest , the absolutes , pot bellied greek gods' . 'kool bwaaye''s girlfriend still talks about the time when they went to a pub about 7 months ago and claims they have the best french fries . 'kool bwaaye' gives his birthday treat at Delhi Kitchen where he orders special butter chicken . 'kool bwaaye' is surely living it up !

war for territory

brilliant song by sepultura .... these guys are talking about how the current world is possessed with blood hungry people killing each other for territory , in the name of religion , caste ,,, and what not ...

Territory

Unknown man
Speaks to the world
Sucking your trust
A trap in every word

War for territory
War for territory

Choice control
Behind propaganda
Poor information
To manage your anger

Dictators speech
Blasting off your life
Rule to kill the urge
Dumb assholes speech

Years of fighting
Teaching my son
To believe in that man
Racist human being
Racist ground will live
Shame and regret
Of the pride
You've once possessed

seems like i have finally broken the jinx , or have I ? .. the power to say 'NO' . I used to be of a very naive nature , and whenever someone asked me "lets do this" , "lets go fishing" , "come to my place for a beer" , I was not able to say 'NO' , even though I might not be even 1 % interested in doing whatever whatever .... Yeah , maybe after attaining this superpower (no less than a superpower it is for me ! ) , people might stop calling me to do whatever whatever ... but remember , I aint saying it (NO) cos' I wanna prove a point or something , I am just saying it (NO) cos I dont feel like doing your whatever whatever .... !
