"Happening"

Have been out of the boil really this week despite of the resurgence of my material management classes ( out of the dead ?? ). It started but due to some teacher problem ( as always ) had to be stopped in dec. As of now, waiting for the CHANGE.. !!


And ya, the big Oscar day today aye ! Needless to say i didn't see ( cumon, we still using rajai's),  It was special this time for me because for once really i stumbled upon some oscars flicks ( Juno, Atonement and ratatouille ) and was expecting them to win something. Atonement for which i wrote earlier ( for the regular's) had an awesome background score , and guess what ? it won for the same. Honestly sometimes you feel a bit recoiled back telling people that you downloaded soundtracks of a movie ( in India ). But i guess i wasn't the only dork in town to appreciate the music. Not to forget the great Mukesh songs i've been trying to find. Amazing songs i tell you !

Well, coming back to our 'happening' country, Raj Thakre ( phew ) has again found his way on the head lines by his absurd statements about chucking out people of Bihar from Mumbai. Nothing more than a laugh i can respond for this really. And how can the week can be described happening without the whole gaga money spilt in IPL i.e. Indian Premier League. Its nice to see things happening like EPL (football) about the whole buying players thing. But certainly film stars buying teams and players sounds a bit nutty. Specially when players are being bought by the owners unlike football where managers do the real work of making a good team. I wonder how people like Preity zinta ( mind you, the real one ) will go about something she's not famous for ! 

My fantasy football has never been better i tell you. I somehow found my winning leash and now on 2nd. Mighty Mr. Maninder came from 4th to the top in slaloming fashion. Still 12 weeks to go, so tables can turn around on any lucky weekend. 
Staying with football, all i can say for this week is OUCH !! 



After a horrific injury to poor Eduardo of Arsenal. Am not a big fan of Arsenal but a injury like this injects the same amount of pain in every football fan's heart. And by the word i described for the injury, trust me, it covers every ounce of gravity which goes with it. Sky Sports people did not allow any of the EPL's contributers round the globe to show the replay of that horrendous tackle. And believe me, it took time for me as well to collect some courage from my mush to see a pic of the injury. I didn't see the video though. 
Get well soon dude.. 
 

APPEND




I seriously can't hold myself to add this jaw-dropping concept video to my post. This is the future guys ! Nokia people are working on this nano technology have created this animated video giving a glimpse of the future phones. Image tapping out text messages on a device of the size of an index card and as flat as a peice of paper, then folding it in thirds to hold it to your ear and make a phone call. Some of the features could start appearing in commercials as soon as 7 yrs from now.
