Fifa Fever.....

Hello everybody....


      I don't know how many of you are following this year's FIFA but I'm full in-to it. As I'm in Europe it is an ordinance to follow the world's favorite game. I started to like this game when I first saw 1998 FIFA finals France vs Brazil. Ever since, I am a die hard fan of the BRAZIL team. I was really disappointed when it lost the match against Netherlands in the quarter-finals. I was always confident that Brazil would make it to finals and will  win this world cup. It's all over long back now it's the turn of  Netherlands (team which didn't lose a single match in the world cup 2010) and Spain (turned out to be powerful team after defeating Germany in the world cup).

Though I lost interest on the game when Brazil lost, I again gained it back when Germany defeated Argentina (4:0). What a match it was, everyone was shocked with the result of the game, Germans have crashed them like anything. Imagine what, Diego Maradona, a man who hit the Goal of the Century  in 1986 and presently the coach of Argentina team, must be going through. I guess he might not have come out of the trauma yet. But God has saved us from watching him running naked on the streets of Argentina!!! In this world cup I pity Paraguay team as they have missed their famous model Larissa Riquelme strip on the streets of Paraguay ....ohhhh yeahhh!! (of course her body painted with Paraguay flag). What's wrong with these people??? I guess nude walk is in now.

This years world cup is completely unpredictable. All the teams which are considered as underdog have come up with a remarkable performance; few have made in to quarter-finals too. Ghana is one among them, while their exit from the tournament was heart-breaking.

Coming to Spain, I find they are striving to hoist the most prestigious trophy for the first time. They reached semi-finals for the first time since 1950. They are ranked as the 2nd best team though they haven't won any world cup yet. I foretell that the "Men in Red" will defeat "Men in oranje" (mine might not be as accurate as Paul the Octopus prediction).This time Spain is playing very strategically. Hope to see the classiest match in the finals. Watching finals would be just like watching a film. It is going to have an action, drama and nail biting climax. My bet is on Spain but never know it could be any one's title.  

Waka Waka Spain......



Cheers,
Vrinda.

When ever I hear this word one thing comes in to my mind immediately is, the New York City. Apart from being my favorite place, this place has also added some beautiful memories in to my diary. I can never forget the Friday evenings I spent in that city. Sometimes with my friends (most of the time by myself) we used to walk down the street just like that. Have fun talking on the roads, looking at the people from different nations, eating food what not?  One Penn Plaza  I used to work at  Manhattan  (heart of the city) in One Penn plaza. It is 54 storied building,  shares the same street with Empire state building.  It was fun working in a desi company, but surrounded mostly by Mexicans. They are very friendly people though, very sweet and believe me most of the girls are damn gorgeous.  Macys was adjacent to my work place, I used to get in that tall 9 storied building and spend some hours walking around the displays. I have bought many gifts for...

T is for Time

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is referred to solar time at royal observatory in Greenwich , London . I’ve been to this place in the year 2008 on my B’day. This pic is little blurred, as I cropped it and made some changes for a better view of this clock.  Greenwich clock with  standard measurements down there. There is a meridian line where you can at a time be on 2 different poles of earth (North Pole and South Pole). If you are in UK and never visited this place, then please go and visit it. If you are visiting UK then don't miss this place. It's fun to be here, esp for kids. This post is posted at Alphabe- Thursday . Cheers, Vrinda.

Mellow Yellow Monday # 6, Thursday Challenge 9

One of my favorite festivals is Diwali. It's after four yours I'm in India during this festival. This festival is celebrated due to triumph of  good over evil. During school days I used to burn the crackers, enjoy till dawn with friends and have fun with noisy fireworks.  In Sanskrit Diwali or Deepavali means "row of lights". You find lamps in front of most of the houses through out India. This is the resemblance of spirit and unity of the country. This festival is also known for Lakshmi pooja (Goddess of wealth) who helps attain health, wealth, peace and prosperity to the family. Firecrackers come in different varieties  from the delightfully visual ones to the ear deafening noisy ones. Standard type of crackers include Flower pots, Bhoo chakra (Ground wheel), Vishnu chakra and Rockets. I've taken many snaps, among all this is my favorite shot.  These are my snaps for this week  Mellow Yellow Monday  and  Thu...
