It took 33 ....

Have had 33 of it.
Few worth remembering.
Very few memorable.
33rd was the best.
Until now, at least.
Nothing more I could ask for.
Not that I had asked for any.
Missed a couple.
Had one.
One, who will be till last.
Thanks to 33.

To my dad.....

Life without you has not been the same,
seeing you leave so early was a shame.

Plenty of nights, i have woken up from dreams,
you left a big enough space in me it seems.

Your life was all about us and nothing else,
you are not here now to see all of this.

It was too big a price for me to pay,
would have given years in my life for you to stay.

To lose you was the lowest point in my life,
learnt to live through a self strife.

Realised the meaning of unbearable pain,
never want to go through that again.

If i will end my life half as good as you,
it will probably be the best justice there is to.

Love you dad. Words don't do justice.

Frustrating times, especially if you are a Man United fan...

August 31st marks the end of human trafficing, 'transfers' in footballing terms. Almost every club in Europe are trying to grab the best talents, sometimes, an ordinary talent at an extraordinary price either to survive or win their respective league titles. If all the values quoted in the press are true, approximately even, they will come close to being the third largest economy in terms of money transacted.

Loyalties, style of play, promises don't stand in front on big money dealings. Same player who joins a club of his dream and a long time ambition to play for that jersey, two years time and few credits, will swear his legions for another team and will make it a point to let people know that money wasn't the factor.

Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville are exceptions to the above. Yes, I am a Manchester United fan. And its quite frustrating for us this season not to have signed any player, striker to be precise. With Saha departed and Ronaldo injured - we are short of strikers and makes it difficult for Rooney and Tevez to be available for various cups that United will be fighting for this season.

There will be no doubt about the style of footabll we will play even with one striker short. September may not be the best month for us, never has been. We will come good during the business end of the season.

PS: By 11.50pm on 1st of September, we have signed Dimitar Berabatov, branded as an incredible sulk by spurs backroom staff. As for United fans, we hope the sulk was for a good reason and that is to play for United.
