To err is Human…
This is the statement nowadays which is being used by many celebrities. I was surprised when I read an article about a Celebrity giving tips on parenting. She mentioned that she would do anything to keep their children away from the celebrity status their parents enjoy, so that their children will have a normal life, with the celebrity status of their celebrity status not affecting them, fair enough…As she went on giving some tips, she mentioned after all we are also human and we are also tend to make mistakes. I was literally shocked when I read that statement. She has taken for granted that as we are human we can make mistakes, as we like. She mentioned that To err is human, I think this is a statement to persons who work sincerely with an effort to not make any mistakes. The statement should not be taken for granted and assuming that errors are part and parcel of everyone’s life.

Enough of Football...
The last 2 posts were exclusively for football because of the worldcup thats happening and so hot..
West Indian Restaurant...
This time it is about my visit to an west Indian restarant which is in Bangalore in C.M.H road. Well Vadivel anna asked do u prefer non veg or veg...So I thought about it... It was a while since I had non Veg so I told him why not... I was busy with something . He made some calls nd we left for the restaurant around 2120 hrs, On the way he told he has called 2 of his friends to give me company. I asked why.. then came the truth he told he was a vegitarian...Damn me..How could I forget that....
Now the situation was a no turn back situation.. 4 of us went to the restaraunt..
It was called SUE Restaraunt. So once we entered the other guys gave a brief about the restaraunt.
They told that this restaraunt belonged to one lady who was supposed to be the KEEP of Sir Vivan Richards..the cricketing legend.. They also told that when West Indies toured Bangalore..The team had a buffet lunch in the restaraunt. and all the players signed in a bat which was kept for display.
So thats about the restaraunt..
U will ask why a blog dedicated to the restaraunt..You will know why very soon.
I opened the Menu book.. Everyting were like greek and latin to me..
1)Chicken bla bla
2)Chicken bla bl baalba
3)Chicken *#$$%#!@
4)Prawn fry with (*((^&^
This ws how the menu appeared to me..
So I asked the other guys to order for me.
I made a sweep of the restaraunt..
We sat confortably in a corner , with a full view of the restaraunt...
there was a West Indian Samba Kinda music was playin in the back ground..
I searched for some good looking opp sex in the room... none there were..
3 forigners.. another 6 Indians (I suppose they were from a same project team)
and us..
Thats it,
The Waiter came for the order he seemed to young for a waiter hardly 18yrs or 17yrs.
They ordered some stuff.
The waiter came and told that my dish was finished for the day..
So I closed my eyes and selected the first plate on the menu page which was open...
I called the waiter and showed the dish to the waiter as it was difficult to prononunce..(The next morning I read in the paper it was impolite to point at a dish to the waiter and U have to give try to prononuce the dish..)
The waiter went and came back and told..that the prepartion includes dipping the chicken in "Wine"...He asked is that OK..I thought so wat they are dipping it before frying y not ...So I waved my fingers like Neelambari of paadayapa (meaning I told them to proceed)..
We waited for or dish to arrive for more than 30 minutes....
Then the dish arrived..
The Moment of truth...
It contained a pulav kind of stuff in the bottom above which deep fried chicken which was soaking in "Wine"..
I looked at the others and at thier food meaning I was looking for a exchange of food... but no, everyone smiled and they dug into thier own food...leaving me alone to play with my food.
I started and to my surprise I was at ease with a fork, knife and spoon...
All of them asked weather they had given trainnig on table manners in BIM..
I used my fork in left hand to hold the food and used the knife which was in my right to cut the food.
So here is another piece if info americans hold the fork in left hand and Europeans in their right..seemed funny
OK comming back to the food..
First the taste seemed so good I started to like it and I was relishing the food.. This was because the wine has settled in the bottom of the plate and since I was on the top layer of the dish it was good for me.. as i was about to finsih the plate, I had a good taste of wine... and it started to get rite to my head..it felt wierd...I know that the wine will have nil effect in my system.... but it was the first time... It was gettin rite to my head..felt little dizzy for a while (like 10 sec) then i was back to normal...
the other new things I had in the restaraunt
Peanut butter milk shake...
Some West Indian Pulav...
by the time we finished it was 11 o clock time to leave.. I felt sleepy.. and was fighting to keep awake as there was football match at 0030 hrs... and I stayed awake..
So guys Iam no more drinks virgin.. I had my own taste...

Why Footbal is far more better than cricket...
1) I just spend 2 hours (2.5hrs extreme cases) to watch or play a game of futbal...
In Cricket I spend a entire day for a one day match. Worst case I spend a entire week for a test match ( Man 5 days for a match I think it is too much)
2) Footbal never belives in luck.. Either u win the toss or not dosent affect the play at all.
Cricket - talk about the toss. It is the deciding factor..U win, u get to chose whether to bat or field based on the pitch report. The games result are alomst known after the toss. Whats the fun playing after that.
3) Footbal is never and cannot be a one man game. Here players can show only extra ordinary performance and make the team move forward (Sachin scores and India Wins else a typica example how the game works in Footbal)
4) A sport or a game should be played where all the players are involved. In footbal u always expect the ball to come to you anytime and the ball always comes to the player. So even if u dont get the ball u make moves in footbal to distract the other players attention (U either mark a player if your a defender or If you are a attacker u try to create space to recive a pass)
5)In football only if you have a 2 lead position and only in the injury time the team which is in lead is in confortable position. In criket, we can know the results halfway through the game(very rarely it happens the other way in cricket)
6)More than all the above points. This deserves physical fitness, stamina, unlike cricket.(Duh, Iam hurt I will have a by-runner. Iam not a good runner I will stay in close quarters slip or mid on...)
7) U always get a second chance in footbal to show ur skill and turn the match..In cricket U get duck out.. u have to wait for the next match...If ur a good batsman alone and not a good fielder or bowler and u get out in single digit..the batsman talent goes to waste, he cant help the team again
8)In footbal I can form stratergies and can implement them.. I have to work as a team. I should understand the skill set of each player. In cricket I dont need to such kind of things.
These are some of the FEW reasons why Football is a better game

Football fever
Football fever..
With the world cup 2006 going towards the climax. I was bit hurt when Argentina did not make it through the quarter finals.. They played like a team. Some say it was because the wrong substitutes at the wrong time. But I can’t say that i completely agree with that, the coach was left with lesser choices due to the unexpected injury of "Oscar" the goal keeper. It was a clear foul play by Klose. It was a corner kick and Klose was no where near the ball the ball was away from him like 2 feet above his head. I don’t know how could referee can ignore such a incident. In the end Klose landed in Knee right on the hip of Oscar. Having played football for sometime during my college and school days, I could feel the pain in my hip when Oscar received those blow. It definitely deserved a hard warning or a red card. This is one such instance.
I will attribute the loss of Argentina to "poor referring". I don’t know whether the poor referring is intentional, just because it is their home ground and the officials wants to avoid the crowd getting wild.
Before the match
After the match
One happy thing happened as I expected Zizou came back with a bang. I always thought why they had chosen Zizou as the “Football player for the year” for more than two
times. I take back my word..Wov what game he played. He is truely inspirational.
If footbal is a religion I will worship Zizou
Zizou after the extraordinary pass to Henry which he converted it into a goal.
