Ronaldo and more!!

Men in India can’t smile for nuts. I have been going to my Tennis Class for over three weeks now and nobody smiles at anyone. I mean just as an acknowledgement. Just to mean, “Yes!! I know you, how do you do!!”. Why on earth do ppl here find it so difficult to do something so simple. Of Course they don’t know me, but still.. Human beings here are mad. END OF STORY!!

Oh and btw, it isn’t just the guys, the girls too. I keep seeing them, I play with them, I run with them but they can’t flex arnd 14 facial muscles to make their faces curve to a smile. If at all I do bother to smile first, either I get weird looks or they turn away their faces even before I can complete my wide mouthed smile fully. I always wonder how they don’t crink their necks, at the rate at which they turn their heads off and no.. my smile isn’t that awful looking.

The reason why I say ppl ‘here’ is coz the only person who smiles at me is an Albanian lady.

Now to the topic that everybody has written abt already but I have to say this.

ManU WON!!! YAY!!! YAY!! YAY!!! (acc to others)

RONALDO WON!!! YAY!!! YAY!! YAY!!! (acc to me)

He is the world’s greatest looking guy. I swear.. I am so darn smitten by him. Looong time since I have had such a HUGE crush on anyone. But I am just so into him now. Orae the checking out wallpapers of him, pictures of him, everything and anything that has him. I have gone totally wacko abt him.

Let me do some justice to the match. It was awesome. I loved the first goal Ronaldo scored. It was awesome. My bro said that it wasn’t such a great header, but since I am so new to this, I thought that the shot was awesome. Lampard’s goal wasn’t so great. But somehow I actually like that guy. I read abt him in the papers and all seem to like him a lot, so guess it rubbed off on me too.

The fight in the extra time was cool, the penalty shots were just nail-biting exciting. AWESOME!! AWESOME!!

When Ronaldo missed and the way he looked.. AWWWWW!!! It took me a lot of self restrain not to run to him and tell him “Its ok, baby”. The fact that I was in an entirely different country and that I would never get to see him, let alone touch and console him occured to me much, much later.

I felt awful for Terry. Somehow with just that one match my respect for him grew. I still hate Ballack, but he is cute. Lampard seems to be very composed. When Terry missed the penalty and when ManU actually won, he was reduced to tears and he looked very paavam. But once the camera zoomed to Ronaldo lying on the ground all the paavam feeling for Terry vanished.

Super exciting match. Heard that a Arsenal, ManU match would be much more interesting as they hate each other apparently.

And for all the unfortunate humans who don’t this guy, please take a look below and know for yourselves why on earth I like him so much!!

MY RONALDO!!

Besides all this, I had gone to Tiruchi and took this pic. I found it amazing. Heard of cat on the wall?? Here are some GOATS ON THE WALL!!!

This goat then jumped to the other side of the gate. They were just so adorable looking. Cute things and they were just outside the house I stayed at.

Yup!! That wraps things up!!

P.S. Ppl, I have just started watching football so forgive me if I seem not fit enough to write on matches.

P.P.S. I searched for a million pics of Ronaldo and found the worst and posted it here, didn’t want anyone to stare at him too much. (I do realise that the two ppl reading my blog are guys but still I don’t want you guys to look too much!!)

A day of s(p)orts!!

My brother has been out of my house for the past 2 years for his board exams apparently. I missed him these years. Now that he is here, I miss my life and my tv. He just owns it now. As a result of this, today I watched F1 racing, my first Football match ever and of course our good, ol cricket all in one evening. It started with the review of the match about to be played. Man U vs Middlesbrough. He kept switching channels between this and F1 racing.

I learnt a lot of things. The racers travel abt 320 miles/hr speed and then there is thing called pit lane. This is the place where all the things get changed. They do it at lightening speed. It takes abt 9 secs(the longest time) to change the tires, to re-fuel and to change the front of the car coz it was damaged by a guy previously. The guy who won was Massa. He rode the Ferrari. The racing was so cool to watch. I was almost high, a state I achieved last playing the stock market game, with virtual money. There is this guy in the pit lane and he has to give the ok for the guy to take off. It looked amazing to watch.

By now the match had started. So for 94 mins since then, it was Manchester United vs. Middlesbrough. The match was actually pretty adrenaline pumping. I don’t know if it was coz of the match or my bro screaming and jumping and punching the bed. When Ronaldo first hit the goal, my grandmother realised that my house should have had a higher ceiling. My bro was jumping so high, he touched it and returned back to the ground(all in good jest though). The dent in the bed happened when the opposing team scored a goal. Apparently, they are not as good a ManU and its degrading enough that the scores were tied.

There are these four major teams, ManU, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool. ManU wears red, when they play at home and black when they are away. Chelsea wears Blue at home, Yellow when away and White in the international arena. I guess I have to choose a favorite team now, before my initial interest wears off. I have seen ManU, have to see the others before I make a intelligent decision,- a decision.. which is not going to change anything in my life, but still.. got to do it.

Rooney, who is my bro’s role model managed to get a yellow card for no mistake of his. Poor guy, he just slid. It was actually snowing throughout the match and these guys still played and sweated. Well, all this is new to me hence the surprised undertone. The grass was so beautifully cut and this guy called Taylor looked good. Rooney was a kid , who just didn’t grow up. Rolando was greek god looking. Now, Now, You can’t take away all my girly characteristics even if I watch the match.

The match ended as a 2-2 draw, which put my bro in a state of seizures coz he went into depression realising that chelsea wasn’t far away from them and he explained, for the next 10 mins, to a very baffled me, on “if they win them and they lose to them and they draw with them.. then chelsea might just win”. I still have a long way to go to understand that math, but football seems cool enough, so I just Might travel that path. So you are reading abt the next die hard fan of football, which team I’ll be cheering on.. I’ll let you know later on.

After all this came the Hyderabad Heroes vs Lahore Badshaas. Now THAT was AMAZING. The match was a draw but then each team had the chance to bowl and the Heores won. It was SUPER SUPER SUPER COOL!!

A day worth writing abt I felt… coz how often does ‘the First Football Match watched ever’ occur to one??
