Ronnie The Hero !!!!

Cristiano Ronaldo has been so prolific in last 5 games he has played.He virtually ruled the pitch in the games he has played so far.Has scored 11 goals so far in this season.

I was not in a position to post my views on the Arsenal game because of the shock i had to take after the 92nd minute equalizer from Gallas. Manchester had the game in control until that ill-fated moment.All the Manchester United fans with whom I was watching the match were awestruck with that equalizer.I sort off went into a depression after that match.I was not in good mood for about two days as the goal was haunting me and it still haunts.We were so close to destroy the Home record of the Gunners,but can't change fate.Coming to the goals scored in that game, Rooney's goal was a fluke I can say as it got deflected off Gallas just before the break, it was the best that can happen to us against the Gunners at the Emirates.The best part was the play involving Saha, Evra, Ronaldo. That was the best play resulting in a "sexy" goal.It was just awesome,feast for all the Manchester United fans, why even the Gunners' fans were simply stunned by that goal!!!

Next game was the Champions League game aginst Dynamo Kyiev At OT. It was just a stroll in the park for the Red Devils.As Rooney mentioned in his press release after the match, it was indeed a "practice match".All the big guns were on the score sheet with an unusual visitor in the form of Gerard Pique, a prospective Centre Back.With this victory the Busby Babes booked their place for the knockout stages with them being the leaders of the group.The good news other than the victory was that the playmaker of Arsenal(Cesc) got injured during their corresponding UCL fixture.

After that game,tragedy struck the Red Devils with Rooney getting injured in a freak training incident which made him to sit out for a month.

Next game was against Blackburn Rovers who were in a good form until they set their foot on OT.They lost to the Devils 2-0.Great game once again from Ronnie, two goals in two minutes which wrapped up the match for the Devils.Great victory for the team without Wayne "The Little Monster" Rooney. And adding insult to injury Arsenal were still unbeaten which was bad news for the Devils who were to travel to the Reebok Stadium to play Bolton Wanderers.

Against Bolton Wanderers, Ronaldo did not start because of his International Duty representing Portugal for the Euro 08 qualifiers.Hell broke loose when Pique did a blunder by trying to win a ball which was not for him which led to a goal by Anelka.From then on everything was in favor of the Wanderers.They won the match 1-0, a victory they would relish for a long time.A derby victory after a long time.Without Wazza, Ronnie the team looked bleak and adding to the woes Saha lost his pace like anything,hope the Frenchman strikes back with a bang.Arsenal were clear of The Champions by 3 points with a game in hand(Bad News).

Next was the Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon at OT. Surprisingly Tevez, Van der Saar were not starting and Lisbon took the lead with a wonder strike and also with some % of blunder by Kusczak.After the break, Tevez was substituted for Nani, this changed the overall flow of the game.Tevez equalized soon after he was substituted.The game was heading for a draw until Ronnie struck a superb goal from a sexy free-kick.This expression tells it all regarding the ease with which he scored the goal:



In the EPL, the next game was against Fulham at OT on an unusual Monday night.If I am right there were like 3 chances for Tevez to score in the first 15 minutes of play, but for him the Lady Luck was not smiling on him that day as she decided to smile on Ronnie instead. He scored two goals, both world class.The best part of the match was of Rooney making his comeback after that freak accident.Rooney made his presence felt in the pitch with his superb poaching skills.Overall the performance of the team was good except for the patchy football at the end of the game which many pundits pointed out.The best part of this game week was that Newcastle held Arsenal at St.James Park in a mid-week match.Atlast the Gunners dropped some points cutting down their lead to 4 points, good news for the Devils.Looking forward for the festice season where the Gunners are poised to drop some more points and hope the Devils capitalise on this opportunity.

With the FA cup fixtures out, Manchester United are set to play Aston Villa at Villa Park in their 3rd round fixture.

Next game in the league is against Derby at OT.

Strike Two!!!

At last the results of my crap-filled first semester was declared.I got a bloody 6.96 GPA.Pathetic isn't it??.I did my internals well, but one professor screwed me in one subject called Organizational Behavior where i was getting a 'B' grade in my internals adding insult to injury I got a bloody 'D' grade overall.This was the main reason as to why my GPA is so pathetic. I do not know why I am cribbing so much on my marks. I think the pressure has taken toll on my mind and I have started sounding like girls who are always after "marks, grades, results"..Goddamit!!!!

Past is past. I have to refine myself to get a decent GPA in my second semester so that I can show my face to my parents, who have entrusted in me that I will do good in my studies.I have been letting down them right from my Engineering.Some re-engineering has to be done.And I will do it.

Like rubbing salt to open wounds, I have been gifted with a professor for a subject called Financial Management. The guy has the stuff to be a great professor but he thinks he is in the USA, he is the TERROR of this semester.He is worst than the worst psycho professors i have seen in my Engineering.He is worst in the sense of the assignments he gives,they are for the Chartered Accountants and not for engineers like me.Moreover I am the prof's "first wicket" every class and I am simply stumped with his questions.The positive aspect of this is that I enjoy a VIP status during his class ;-).The guy's way of teaching is awesome except for his grading system and assignments.The subject and the prof have reiterated the fact that I am going to specialize in Marketing after my summer internship.

Coming to my Summer Internship(SIP), still not yet got any offers from any company.I have applied for some good companies, but for getting shortlisted for the SIP process I have to do some ass-wiping (or) buttering for the coordinators, which I am not interested at all.I am waiting for my brother's friend to give me a positive response regarding doing my SIP in his company.Hope I get that offer.

With the winter festival--"Aakrithi"--(Institute Sponsored)around the corner, all are busy finishing their projects so that they can enjoy the festival which has some 120 weird events. As for me I have not started working on any of my projects so far.Planning to start off with a bright note tomorrow after Manchester United's match against Derby.I have like 6 projects to be completed in a matter of 14 days.

Thats it for the day!! Adios Amigos!!

My First Post!!!

It all started way back in mid 1998 when I had visited Singapore, I fell in love with this sport called Fotball and still am in love with the beautiful game.I made up my mind that I will remain an hardcore loyal to the game and as well as to the evergreen Manchester United Football Club; the first club I loved watching play.Since then there has been no turning back.

I want to give my reviews on each and every game Manchester United plays thats why this blog.A blog solely dedicated to Manchester United.

Forever Manchester United!!!

Being my first post,

I would like to pen my "All Time Manchester United XI"

Peter Schmeichel


Jaap Staam


Denis Irwin


Gary Neville


Rio Ferdinand


David Beckham


Roy Keane


Paul Scholes


Ryan Giggs



Eric Cantona


Sir Bobby Charlton

Strike One....

The reason why I am using the jargons of baseball here is not because Boston Red Sox won the World Series two days back; its because of the fact that I got my first semester results today.One of the worst results I have ever got in my life so far.Worse than the Microprocessor arrear which I got in my Under Graduate.It sucks big time to have got such results.Today only the external marks were declared, lets see where my internal marks combined with external marks position me in my batch.All my mates have scored better marks.Nothing can be done as of now.All the damage has been done and the recuperation process has to start ASAP.I need to vent out my anger and frustration (any suggestions ??).Ok enough of all these cribbings.

The second semester has not been so fruitful rather not interesting as the first semester was.The subjects this time except for Financial Management, Macroeconomics and Marketing suck big time.Subjects like Law, Basic Research Methods and Operations Management are sleep inducing just like the TQM, AI classes of the UG.

Shuffling of classes has been like rubbing salt on the injuries.Getting to know the new classmates is like the formation of a new team, it has to go through a number of stages.And finally when one gets to know each other better the semester ends and thats the end of the chapter.They say all the stories have an happy ending but I doubt it in my case in this institute.

Coming to the joyous part of my start to the second semester has been the fact that I was able to finish "The Google Story" and started off with my idol Steve Waugh's autobiography.And every weekend I feel like i am in heaven after watching the Red Devils play their sexy flowing football.The Red Devils have struck their form.I just cant resist the Red Devils.Hail Them!!!!.They Rock!!!.Thats it for now....

P.S- Long time since I blogged.No excuses this time.I hope I will blog frequently.

Atlast I am in a position to post!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part 1

Thank god,atlast i am posting in my blog.It has been a hell of a ride from my last post to date.The stay here has pissed me off sometimes and sometimes i have felt good.It has been a mixture of feelings and emotions.Last time when i posted it was during the initial stages of my classes here, after which a lot has happened.First came the freshers party.it was good from my perspective.The events included were those of fashion show, rock show, and a party with a DJ from Taj playing some nice songs.One recommendation regarding a song...try listening to The Sutta song by the IIT guys.For those hindi illiterates it actually means Cigarettes.--Parental Advisory Content.So beware.Listen to the song and u will know why.For the first time i attended that so called "party"and shaked my tail feather.It was a good experience.

After the freshers party came the screwings of India.First with that of the Financial Management Assignment.My team's assignment was on the role of IRDA in the insurance sector(Jargons!!!! Sorry!!!).We put our 200% did all the ground work for it and submitted.But we got only a 6.6 out 10.The reasons given by the professor were as follows:

1."The clarity of your work is good"
2."You have covered everything which i needed"
3."You have explained everything in stages"
4."You have used jargons"-----Jargons for the prof were "advisory committee".He is such an ass.
5."You have not presented well"----What the!!!! why does one need to have presentation skills ie "jigna" work in an assignment.

These things really pissed us off.So on that account we did not touch the book for the next two days...

Then came the Marketing Management Assignment.My team consisted of two girls and two guys(inclusive of myself).This team is the worst"est" team i have been in.Though the team members have good knowledge abt the subject, i hate to be in that.Just because of the fact that one girl changed every info regarding the assignment which i gave.The other guy is a good fella.we finished our works long back except for that guy who slogged his ass out on the night before submission.We got a good score of 7.5 out of 10.

This the part 1.The remaining parts will be posted without any further delay....So stay tuned...........

To the City!!!!!!!!!!!

today morning i had a class on financial management.the class was good the prof was good too...then had a break for one hour where i was browsing with my friend.after which i had a class on financial accounting..the prof who is taking it is 71 yrs old...ultimate prof..so far all the profs have been good at teaching.later after that class myself and my friend had our lunches and went out to catch a share auto to the city.as there was no share auto then we decided to take an auto which had been waiting there after dropping some of the seniors.the trip to city actually costs 450rs...but he came today for 150rs..lucky we were..then after reaching a place called mehendipattinam.the place is shit..really..no rules being followed, eventhough the traffic police is standin no one even respects him...from there we went to a place called koti where we bought the books.its similar to burma bazaar.sellers on the prowl to catch prospective buyers..later caught hold of one guy..and bought the books for myself and also for my friends..then went to buy the lists given by the other floormates..after all purchases we caught a bus to a place called lungar house..got down there..saw of my classmates, we waited for an share auto..alongwith some of the seniors we got into the auto.myself and my friend were made to sit at the back.we came sitting with the engine right beneath us..it roasted our asses...it took one hour from lungar house to my college.then sorted out the accounts.now everything settled.

Season 1 Episode 6

hmmm the day started off on an intelligent note.I was reading from 8 till 10.wat an achievement.then slept off till 11 30 as my class was scheduled for 12 05.Had the same classes as yesterday except for a new class ie. Soft Skills Lab.the professor who is the instructor of that stream was the one who was in my panel during my presentation.Gentleman he is.Thanx to him i am here.;-)he taught us how stress occurs and also how to control the same.it was to good to an extent and the rest was boring.

Classes lasted till 5:45PM.man i was to be in my home at this time when i was in my UG.Its ok, challenges will come up as we go up in our ladder of life.too much of philosophy involved.I am sorry..

Later talked with the floormates for sometime till 6:30 and later went to a vishnu temple near my campus with my floormates.had a good darshan.then came to hostel, ate dinner.Now posting my blog.we are yet to receive our laptops.Rumours are that we will be getting them on june 8th.thats it for the day.Its Sunday tomo.So its the time to party for u guys.I have to slog it out today also.hmmm MBA.

Season 1 Episode 4 And Episode 5

Episode 4 consisted more of admin work.had to go and get myself registered for the program.And to the astonishment the institue gave around 19 books only(;-)) for this semester.We are gonna get screwed through our asses.Thats for sure.The whole day passed just like that.Slept for 2 hours, then the whole evening was talking with the floor mates and finally read few concepts of quantitative methods.One good thing i did for the day was i washed my clothes using the washing machine provided by the institute, the good thing which they have done so far.Then slept off.

Episode 5 started off with a dull note though it was the starting of the regular classes.I had to give my psychometric test so as to decide whether or not i need counselling.But anyways i have to attend counselling for once in the semester.So it was technically no class in the morning.

Afternoon started off with the first subject of the day ie. IT For Managers.The professor distributed the hand outs which had the schedule of wat all is going to be done in the current semester.and as usual the advices started and also the lecture.After that class had two more sessions.one was managerial economics and another one was marketing management.Both the professors were encouraging.Lets hope for the best.

P.S-I am the only south indian in my class.:-(

------------End Of Day-------------

Season 1 Episode 3

the day started off bright..scorching heat over the whole campus..at 9:15 i was heading towards the class room block to attend my first preparatory class.the class was on Accounting.It was pure greek and latin to me.The prof and students talking debit and credit, my heart pounding and mind confused about what debit was and what credit was??...damn it..after the initial confusion mind settled with what the prof was teaching.atlast understood something.

then went to the library in search of the prescribed book, not even a single book was to be found.felt nostalgic.toppers in our coll took all the books out right on day one.the same thing happened here.this institute similar to every other private institute launders money, y the hell cant they have multiple copies of a book??Avasarathe purinjika maatanga paa...

went back to my room after the intial setbacks, talked with my mom and clarified my "doubts" ;-).then it was time for lunch, had a sumptuous lunch.after lunch, read quantitative methods for quite sometime and listening to my iPod simultaneously.then slept for 2 hours straight with disturbances from a floormate,a call from a chennaiite who is in this campus.The frustrating part was when the floormate's question when i opened the door "Were you sleeping??"..What a question..Felt like beating the hell out of him.What to do...Nothing can be done.Now posting from the IT center.Thats for the day.

Lights Off, Camera Off, Pack Up!!!

End Of Season 1 Episode 3

Season 1 Episode 2

Hmmm the day so far has been nice.No inter galactic encounters as of now(jus kiddin').Actually i have been allotted a section for the preparatory classes for the last two days of the classes, i am in a dilemma whether to attend them or not...2 days 3 sessions each, should i take the bait??? still have not decided, may be u guys can help me out.the guy at the acads section himself asked me y i am wasting time by attending the last two days of classes..;-)

i started the day off reading the material given to me yesterday.the book i started off was "FOUNDATIONS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY"..Felt nostalgic after reading the first few chapters of the material.The same ABCs which i have read in different subjects across different semesters in my engineering.Then my floormate asked me to help him out in differential calculus which he was being taught in his preparatory classes.so went thru the material for about say 5 minutes.not in the mood to help him also.

today after two days had my best lunch...rasam saadam..thank god atlast some decent south indian food.after lunch went to give my photo identifiction proof to the IDEA distributor.Btw my new number is 9948510284..

after that i wanted myself to get enrolled to a programme called the SAP-Stipendiary Assessment Program.It is a program where one has to market the articles/case studies of the institute.if u do well, u get paid well.thats y i wanted to join..moreover lots of chickas are into the program themselves.my last resort is the SAP.the officer asked me to come tomo for further details.hope he does not reject my appln.

after that,saw in the notice board that we can submit our graduate completion certificates which they had asked for.did that..still yet to get my 8th semester results so my certificates are incomplete.;-)..now took my time off to browse..i am posting this from the IT center here.lets call it a day.Stumps...

End Of Season 1 Episode 2

Mess food...havent had the best of them yet...had only curd rice till now..the best is yet to come.The chickas of this coll...They ae ultimate..I have the view of the girl's hostel from my room...girls walk past my room (not thru the hostel)..and i have a sneak peek from my room window..but one thing...every girl walking past my room is accompanied by a guy...

so far life here suxs to the core..i miss chennai and my pals,my home...

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen !!

Though the members of this League possess no extraordinary powers unlike the fictitious members of the original league ,we(including myself) were extraordinary in many ways.

This post is to remind myself and my pals of the best times we had in college and in what way we were extraordinary ;-).

Starting off in alphabetical order:

Arvind Venkataraman


Arvind aka. Pullli G.He is the bloke to be with when in deep trouble.He would help you come out of it through his "mokkais".You would feel the trouble you were in was much better than his mokkais.Ultimate in cross questioning you.I think he was destined for the Interrogation Unit of any police force, but found himself doing CSE in SVCE.He is planning to do his MS in CS.Hope he does well.Moreover he is known for his voice.The Foghorn of our class.Girls beware of him and guys with girlfriends stay away from him, he is the chick magnet.Has the maximum number of girl contacts.Looks like a cat but does the job of a tiger.He is always on the prowl for new girl contacts.Having been his bench mate for quite sometime, myself and him share a similar attitude towards girls.

Balamurugan B


Balamurugan aka. Ball Matthews.He is the "ultimate" fun seeking guy .Sees every aspect of his life in a humorous way.He is known for teasing every other guy in the class with a name.He is bloody good at playing cricket, leave alone cricket he plays every other game with passion.He is the moving database about the girls in our college, though we have not cross checked it I hope its true.He organizes most of the birthday bumps and also the caking ceremonies.We have had immense fun with this guy.

Bharath Kumar Jain


Bharath aka. Butt.What can I say about his guy.He is a sort of guy no one would love to be with.Just kidding.He is superb at digging his own grave through his words.Always does that with finesse.For his attempts to lure a girl to a movie in the very first semester of engineering which ended in failure, he will be remembered forever.He hardly gets angry and even when he gets angry there is nothing he can do.Such a pity.This bloke plays his cricket with utmost passion.The only one thing which enrages everyone in the league is his punctuality.Very bad at being punctual.He is joining Infosys and he dreams of pursuing a MBA.All the Best mate!!

Chidambaram C


Chidambaram aka. Kosu aka. Chidhu.He is the guy who can help you out from any sort of problems related to academics.Good at academicss, he gets enraged when one calls him as "kosu"(mosquito).He jumps as high as 5 feet above ground level when tickled in his ribs.One should look at his face when the exams get over he is always on cloud nine whenever exams get over, he is always eager to leave this place and go to his native place.He is going to HCL(after lots of struggle he got this company).I pity him.

Dhanasekhar


Dhana aka.Dubuku Dhana.He thinks he has the ultimate knowledge of EPL whenever a girl comes and talks with him.Actually speaking he does not know the teams playing in the premier league.He is the best guy to seek for any sort of help.He gives away everything he has.His iPod has spent most of the time with us than with him.He used to be the "Dr.Prakash" of our class.Nowadays he is planning to seek celibacy.Most of us feel he will be unsuccessful in it.We have had ultimate joy while seeing him play cricket, the ball hardly moves out of its place, but the level of sound generated is immense.He is planning to do his MS in NEU, Boston(i guess...).

Easwaramurthi A


Murthi aka.Muffee.The DJ of our class(Pun intended).Very very good at drawing human forms.He has been my bench mate for quite sometime.We have enjoyed every moment of stay with him.He is the other chick magnet in the league.Every girl would love to be in his company.But the girls are unlucky, he is committed.He plays his cricket with utmost utmost passion.Don't ever try to act like a fool in the cricket ground, he will breathe fire if he catches you doing it.He is the notes-generating guy whenever there is an exam around the corner.There is lots to say about this bloke.In simple words,he is awesome.

Lavan Kumar


Lavan aka.Lava**(Censored In Public Interest).He and myself are the "galeej" guys of our class.His passion is joining the Army.Whenever he talks about the army, we mock his statement "I will go down with a bullet in my head" with "I will go down with a bullet in my d**k".He is not a chick magnet.He is of the "pick up,drop,escape" character when it comes to girls.Always takes life in the humorous sense and always correlates every aspect of life with absolute bull shit dialects.We have enjoyed that.He is expecting his results from the army.Hope he gets it.Temporarily he is going to Infosys.

The other major players of the league are: Harish aka. Mama, KP Arun, Annush K Sairaj,Karthik Neelakantan.


The above guys have played a major role in shaping up my character, what am i talking??? we have shaped up every other guy's character in the league.Thanx a lot guys.It has been great fun with you guys.Hats Off!!

Am posting well before it starts...

Through this blog I plan to share my experiences ,whatever be it, on a daily basis (if i have the time to blog ;-)).So look out for my posts in this blog from June 1st,because by then only i will get my laptop.The title sums it all,my 2 years of MBA at IBS Hyderabad.

The Actual Fun Begins Now !!!!

Here in my room i sit listening to Sean Paul's "We Be Burning".Actually it should have been "We Had Been Burning",yeah yeah i was referring to the semester exams.At the last hurdle i did not want to stumble ,hence burning the midnight oil was the last resort in order to obtain pass mark.Yesterday was technically the last working day of the 4 years of engineering torture.And with the grace of God the question paper yesterday was direct,i think there wont be any problem in getting a pass mark.Myself and Hayu(the Topper of my class) have been eagerly waiting for this day since the opening day of the first semester.Thats true even the topper wanted the torture to come to an end.

Why I refer engineering in my college as torture because it has been a torture only.I sound like the guy who defined a rose as "rose is a rose" don't I??Ditch it.It's the time to party.Thats what the guys of my class had arranged for -"Farewell to themselves".Crazy.Anyways i did not bother to go.The good job these guys had done according to me was that of the collage of the whole CSE 07 batch.That was an hell of an idea.Hats Off!!!



And the college life has come to an end with the end of exams.Has it ended abruptly???I dont think so...We have endured so much in these 4 years.So it is not an abrupt ending.It is a sweet ending.We deserve the break.

And now its the beginning of the actual fun.Everyone are going in a different direction to take up different challenges.All the Best to them all!!!!.

Guys who got placed in the IT companies deserve a loud ALL THE BEST!!! because computers are their life for a minimum of one year.Guys pursuing higher studies(including myself)have to endure two more years of education.That would not pose a problem because its The Post Graduation Programme, i dont think we might have to endure the same type of torture endured here.But we might have to face different types of challenges,that should not be a problem also.Having tackled the Anna University Exams we have the mindset to take up any challenge.Am I too critical of the University???

We keep a comma to our lives now,as there is lots to come in our lives.Thats why the actual fun begins now!!!!!

End Of Days!!!!

At last the 4 years of "torture" at the hands of an engineering college comes to an end .Having endured so much, now I have to get ready for facing the next level of hardness in my life.Why is that always the next level in one's life is hard to face.Why should one face so much difficulties.It sucks.I always try to seek an easy-going life, but always end up in a difficult one.Whatever said and done, life is full of challenges and one should be ready to face it.

Having been at the cross roads i.e.choosing between campus placement and higher studies, i chose the road to higher studies.Thank God it has not been technical again.But whatever be the discipline, it has its strong points and difficulties.MBA seems to be attractive in its lucrative job offers, but it involves a lot of hard work.Thats what i hear about every now and then.

Hard Work - a word which is anonymous in my life.Myself and hard work are a mile away.Don't know how i am going to cope up with the pressures of MBA.Having coped up with the pressures of engineering hope i will catch up with the lifestyle of an MBAian.Having learnt so much from engineering,i think those will help me out.And to add salt to the injury, for the first time in my life I am going to be away from my parents(i know i sound childish).Leave alone the industrial visits, which maximum lasted long for 3 days.One's parents are like pillars, if in trouble too good in giving support.Awesome they are.Hats off.

And adding more salt to injury, leaving the best pals in one's life.I had hell of a time with the guys of my school and coll.School guys rock as usual.They were more of "my life", than "in addition to my life".Coll guys were totally different.Always in the state of hyper mood.Whatever be the situation, there will be humor in it.That was awesome.And playing cricket with these guys has just been the best part.Though its just a game, we did take it seriously and have fought back well to win some "away" matches.And not to forget the treats we went to.One should save his 10 months' pocket money if he had planned to give any sort of treat.However we enjoy it.And also the times we made fun of each other,times where we commented about every other girl in my college.All those moments are to be relived.

I have enjoyed every moment of my life till now.Hope life has something good in the offing for me.No more Woes.Hate to have them in my life.

Devils For Sure !!!

"Hail! Hail! The Red Devils are here "

What a season it has been for the Red Devils so far on top of premiership with Chelsea trying to catch up with them, in the quarter finals of the Champions League, due for a replay against Boro in the FA Cup which is coming up on Monday.Amazing it has been.Having not been in touch with football for almost three years(thanx to the bloody stbs), I find it amazing to see my favourite club on top of the Premiership ,though they managed to get into the top 4 in the past 3 years.They are the Best.

Lets start off with the Premiership, they had an awesome start to the Premiership blowing Fulham away 5-1.That was beginning of the success story.right from then they have managed to win/draw almost all games except for few unlucky ones , like where they were handed with a double loss againt bloody rivals Arsenal(both home and away) and also the most unexpected loss against West Ham under then the new coach Alan Curbishley who has had a very bad Win % against the Red Devils(and currently West Ham is trying hard to keep its place in the Premiership).That win against the Devils was a stroke of luck for the Hammers since then the Devils have maintained their momentum both in England as well as in Europe.Some of the mathces which took my breath away were those against Fulham and Liverpool away from home in the Premiership and also the match against Benefica in the Champion's League.

The match against Fulham away from home just showed the class of the team and also the ability of not cracking under pressure.In the dying seconds of the match, it was this guy Cristiano Ronaldo with a sudden burst of energy running right from the half-line and finishing was just great.
Though he is not much popular amongst my friends because if his extraordinary ability to get fouls(i meant diving) ,he must be known for his crosses, his cool penalty finishes and not to forget his sprints across the field.That was one hell of a match.

The next best match was against Liverpool away from home.Liverpool though they were not in the title race for the first half of the season, they gained momentum and are now breathing fire, unbeaten at home in the premiership since Jan 07, was a pain in the arse for the Devils for most of the match.For it had not been Van der Saar and the wall of Manchester United, Liverpool would have got them by the neck.It was 0-0 till 90 minutes, and then in the injury time comes the winner from John O'Shea a superb goal with some help from Cristiano and also from Saha who blocked off Reina(Liverpool's GK).

O'Shea was known for the wrong reasons last time when United lost at Liverpool - he actually hit an own goal.Forget the past.

Against Benefica in the Champion's League was a do or die match for the Devils.They had lost their previous two matches against Celtic and FC Copenhagen away from home.Last time United failed to qualify for the Knockout stages, they were in the same kind of pressure as they were in last year.benefica have been known for knocking out Manchester United in the CL.But this time it was not the case.The Devils won 3-1 thanks to the goals from Vidic - the latest defending sensation, Giggs and Saha.

The FA Cup has been more or less a rough terrain for the Devils but they have managed to win each of their rounds without any fuss.They are yet to face a replacy against Boro on Monday at Old Trafford.Hope the Devils win.

Chelsea have been chasing hard, really hard for the itle.United have enjoyed that and also have silenced the critics many a time.Although the average age of the team might not be a good sign, they have played some extraordinary football rather I would put it this way, they have played some Ultimate Football.

What the hell do we care?
All we know is there's gonna be a show,
And the famous Manchester United will be there

eMBArked on a Journey Finally !

At last I achieved what I felt impossible to achieve, i.e to get an MBA seat.I got it in ICFAI, Hyderabad(Ranked in the top 20 B-Schools in India).My next big step in life.I have inked my experiences in this post.

My preparation for my presentation and interview was in full throttle only a week before my actual date of interview, till then life was smooth and easy.And moreover out of the 13 institutes i applied, i got a call letter from this institute only.My Last Hope.And going into my preparation, i had to present a micro-presentation on a topic which was to be chosen from a list of topics given by the institute.My three choices of presentation were the following:

1.Abolition Of Capital Punishment

2.India in 2050

3.FDI in India

I chose the above because those were the topics with which i was familiar with to an extent and the remaining 17 topics given by the institute were just Greek and Latin to me.

Out of the three i was made to present on India in 2050(compulsion from my Dad).He knew better so did as per his wish.Frankly speaking I never bothered to prepare my presentation 60% of it was done by my father, the remaining contributed by me and my brother.Preparation for the interview was Null till the day before my interview, which was scheduled for February 9th.

My first rehearsal for the presentation clocked 8 minutes solid with lots of unwanted stuff viz. gestures, redundant usage of words, and of course my speed .My father even caught it on tape so as to learn from the mistakes i made.My performance was just pathetic.Later that night we had one more rehearsal which clocked 7 minutes with slightly better performance this time.The reason i am mentioning the time is because of the fact that the institute was stern about the presentation getting over within 5 minutes(managerial skill-time management).Then we called it a day.Still interview prep was Null.D-day was approaching fast.

Feb 8th myself and my dad boarded a low cost airline to Hyderabad.On reaching the destination I found myself in a pathetic position, i.e. fell sick.Had to spend three to fours sleeping in my hotel room.Later that night we had n number of rehearsals.And moreover i missed the repeat telecast of the friendly between England and Spain which was played the previous night.At last in my final rehearsal I clocked 4 minutes and 57 seconds, a sigh of relief for my father and me.It was on that night that i started preparing for my interview.I even messaged my friend asking for the various biographies written on famous sports personalities.Preparation for the interview was for just an hour.

D-day I did not catch much sleep the previous night, only the presentation going through my mind.Hardly slept for an hour.Got up at 5AM(had to be at the center by 7AM).On reaching the center (about 15 KMs from the hotel we stayed) i felt butterflies in my stomach looking at the people who were too competing for the seat in that institute.The registration was complete by 8 AM.My slot for presentation for at 8 45 AM and my interview was scheduled at 10 45AM.I met my batch mates only at the time of presentation, except me they had gathered together and decided on what questions to be asked when others presented.I was unaware of the questions they might ask me.when my turn came for the presentation i finished it on time.But was pissed off when two girls posed questions.I somehow managed to answer them.After witnessing my batch mates' presentations, I felt that i stood some chance for the MBA seat in that institute.It was time for my interview, I had a bad experience of attending an interview when i sat for my placements .I thought i could pull it off this time around whatever be the situation i was in.I was made to sit between girls on either side, that was like adding salt to the injuries.The girls who sat beside me did not close their bloody mouths even for a minute.And did not bother to close also even after being warned by the staff there.

My Interview panel asked questions from the Indian Football league, they still continued asking questions from it even after telling them that I had no idea in Indian football.After the initial screw ups ,they asked me some questions regarding bluetooth, having studied about it in my engineering curriculum I was able to answer them easily.Then sarcastically asked how the guys from the south were able to score incredible marks in their board exams.And finally asked about the current affairs that were taking place in the country.Due to the initial screw ups i felt i might not stand a chance, but i felt that i had given my best shot.Results were scheduled to be announced at 6PM.Till then time went on at snail's pace.It was just irritating.But i found a companion in two Bangalore based guys.It was fun talking with them.One of them was a die hard Manchester United fan like me and the other guy a die hard Arsenal fan(Worst team on the face of the Earth),we had good time teasing each other.At 6Pm we were made to stand in a queue,adrenalin levels inside me would have been reaching their highest and i could feel that.Whatever be the result it was given in an envelope,the first thing i searched for when i opened was whether i was selected or not.Once having found that started searching for the center i was allotted to, except that everything else were visible at last i sighted the word Hyderabad , thats when i felt the real meaning of"Being on Cloud Nine".Finally I had achieved my Goal.The Ultimate Goal.
