Interactive Blogging-The latest venture from the stables of Dudurudh !

I don't like wasting my vacations . Nobody does . But I do . Almost everyone I know does too . My life has been reduced to , and I have said this before in one of my older posts , playing games on the computer or my Ipod Touch and watching tv serials on star world ( excluding The bold and the beautiful , I have mentioned this very crucial detail in the old post too ) . The reason I have brought this up again is not because I have run out of ideas to blog . It's because I have run out of ideas to make something out of this extremely long vacation period ! If anyone does happen to have any good ideas please do let me know by mail . Which brings me to the more interesting part of this post . ( Interesting is a very very relative term . I know . But I'll go ahead and use it anyway ) . After the monumental failure of my guest writer idea ( no idea what that is right ? Yep . Hence monumental failure . I shall unveil my revamped plan for that in this post ) , I have come up with a

Hallucinations in the rain .

It's monsoon again ! It's that time of the year when the rain gods takes up the herculean task of trying to clean up the atmosphere and the earth with that magical liquid , water . There is something special about the rain that makes me feel nostalgic , sometimes bardic , it awakens the writer in me ... or some such rubbish ! But it's true . The rain does bring back memories . What it also does , is that brings those dreaded fevers and colds and running noses and headaches and all that ! And I am one of the many unfortunate souls to become "victims" of all that ! I make this post out of frustration ! Out of helplessness ! I can barely keep my eyes open and can hardly walk from one room to another without feeling as tired as a man who has been chasing chickens for 2 hours ! My nose is red like rudolf the reindeer's and my head feels heavier than two sumo wrestlers put together ! But I am not here to complain ! I am here to ... no not that..I am here to..no not

Roman Abromovich bought chelsea football club 8 years ago. Since then , we have had 8 different managers . 6 managers in the last four years . The lastest of them being Andre Villas-Boas . Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti  have been the most successful of them all.Meanwhile mr RA , like a rich kid adamant for the finest chocolate cake , has been behind the Champions league trophy all these years.And like the child would do if he did not get it , he fired his chef and brought in a new one . Why has this not worked with chelsea? The reason is simple . Chelsea's has been one of those squads that has had a constant solid core , comprising Frank Lampard,John Terry , Didier Drogba and Petr Cech . Everyone else formed the rest of the team around them . This has not been particularly unhelpful . Just that it always left us "that close" to the top spot but never got us there. It worked beautifully in the first few years when Jose was incharge. We won the Premier league twice and

Welcomes and goodbyes - Part 3

Chelsea FC released a statement yesterday confirming their interest in Andres Villas Boas .   'We note that the release clause of Andre Villas-Boas has been activated. We can at this time confirm our interest in him and hope to reach agreement with him on personal terms and make a further announcement in the near future.'                                                                                                       -Chelsea F.C Villas-Boas has paid Porto 13.3 million pounds to terminate his contract and Roman Abramovic is beleived to have " secretly " funded the amount . No official statement has been made in this regard especially with chelsea struggling to keep up with UEFA's financial fairplay regulations . Should Villas-boas finally join chelsea , he will almost certainly be the most expensive manager in the history of the English Premier league . Radamel falcao might also make the move from Porto as Villa-Baos is reportedly keen on having the striker i

As I was saying yesterday things change quickly in the transfer season . Take for example the shocker of a report that Andres-Villas Boas has agreed to leave Porto FC and join chelsea for a reported 15 million pounds ! Regarded widely as the next Jose Mourinho , the 33 year old has no football playing experience but is one of the sharpest tactical minds around . Mourinho is Boas's mentor too , which is why the young portuguese prodigy is often called " The special one of the special one " .  And here I was thinking Guus Hiddink would make a come back ! A chelsea fan , however , has no reason to be grieved ! For both these men are managers with great reputations and should the final "chosen one " ( no reference to Jose Mourinho , although he would do just fine  as well ) be one of these two , the club , I can confidently say , will be in safe hands ! As for Luka Modric . Tottenham chairman Daniel levy dampened our hopes by repeating that Modric , who has 5 years

So it's that time of the season again ! When any statement voiced or otherwise by players sparks off rumours about their " potential tranfer to another club ! When players meet their fellow club players after a much deserved break . It's that time of the season when fans can't wait to see their favourite clubs back in action but the squad is off in Malyasia or Belgium or Scotland for the pre-season games  ! So close , yet so far ! 13th of August . Magic date ! When the season actually kick off ! With almost two months to go we have just 2 "high profile" transfers and they certainly won't be the last . Brad Friedel from Aston Villa to Totenham to replace Gomes as goal keeper and Jordan Henderson moves from Sunderland to Liverpool to strengthen the Liverpool midfield . Rumours are aplenty . Most of them stemming from hopeful fans reading too far between the lines of an innocent press statement . And on other occassions .. well I don't know how these com

Holiday Season !!

It's amazing how time flies when it's vacation time ! I had made big plans for the week . Wake up early , go for a jog , maybe even work out a little ( that might come as a shock to those who have seen, for most people feel I hardly have any muscles to work out ).Moving  on.. I thought of maybe catching a movie or two , going out for dinner and doing all those things that I could not do thanks to all the school work I used to have ! Sadly , my life has been reduced to playing games on the computer or Ipod touch or watching repeats of various serials ( not including "The bold and the beautiful") on Star World ! And before I know it , the week has come to an end ! I used to look forward to the weekends . A welcome break from the boring , monotonous weekly ritual , that was school . Today , however , that has changed . The weekend is nothing but a boring addition to the already boring week ! Whats more , even my usual serials on star world don't air in the weekend !

This blog ,which I proudly call mine , hit a 100 views a week or so ago ! yes ! woohoo ! As a matter of fact I even announced it in my previous post ! I even announced a worldwide party to celebrate my "success" !! Infact ,  I'm still in the hangover of that acheivement ! So much so , that I did not bother posting anything in the last week !  I was , as they say , resting on my laurels :-P Now , My guest blogger idea just never seems to take off ! Thanks to some lazy co-bloggers and even lazier main blogger ( yep , that's me ) ! Pestering them week after week for the last 2 weeks has had no effect and so ...well and so I guess i'll have to continue doing so till they agree to write ! Truth be told , they have agreed to write . Their problem is that they just can't think of anything to write about . And that's why I decided to help them today ! So co-bloggers listen up ! You can write about anything you want to! Some kid hit you with a balloon ? Blog it ! A

101 and going strong !

Thank you . This post is specially meant for those 101 lovely souls who had the patience and the courage to have visited my blog ! I am on cloud nine , on top of the world ,over the moon and the feeling of having a 100 views is out of this world ! My critics may be of the opinion that I am over reacting . After all 100 views does not mean that all 100 have read any post of mine . But I beleive in showing my gratitude to anyone who has had the heart to have taken even just a glimpse of my blog ! That is not over reaction ! That is just sweet of me ! That is just me showing my large hearted nature !Just kidding ! ( Is this the funniest blog you have seen or what !! ...no? It is'nt?  damn..I should have known :-p ) Maybe I should stop praising myself before people misunderstand me to be boastful and self-centered !! I promise . This will be the first and last of the posts with poor jokes like that . Promise . Never again ! Maybe when I hit a 1000 views , I'll slip in just one of
