The Magical Drop

The week is still buzzing with the news of the new job, my first job! As big as it sounds, it really isn't much of a deal. Opportunity knocks just once keeps buzzing in my ears though, as of now lets just go with the flow. Had never really expected to get on the end of it when Pillai kept nagging me to fill in my name, I really had once chance to give it a shot, never could apply to any companies due to various reasons. But it had to go well, and go well it did! As I said, not that big a deal, moving on, Mumbai seems to be heating up day by day, makes me rue my German chances even more! Exams seem to be approaching faster than ever, so theres that additional heat anyway.

Saw Mission Impossible IV the other night, Cruise as elegant as he is, didn't fail to meet the expectations, although Anil Kapoor I must say, bet on the wrong horse, the race was over for him even before it started. Bhurj Khalifa is beautiful, and the stunts on it even better, a hundred and thirty floors above sea level at the least, Tom must ve had some balls to sign up for it. Anyway another good movie that I never saw in theatres (again!).

Balls remind me, Yash Trivedi made his way back on his feet (ha!) and back to his home, Saket, after almost 3 weeks of, well, wide balls, dead balls (at one point), fortunately though, no No balls! There's always a point in life when you seem to jolt back in shock, expect the unexpected turns out to be so true then. But he is a fighter, always has been, and showed it again, can't wait to have him on the field again. Cheers to YNWA!

Football now, and Arsene has denied another hotshot, thus concluding and convincing us fans that this seems to be the new protocol for signing players for the club, no wonder they made a comic on him now, although I must say 7 years is a lot of patience, for comic printing alteast! Honestly if Song isn't to be replaced, I don't see the point in signing Villa. Fingers crossed as always. The turnover and revenues seem good, hope the pockets tear themselves and the Frenchman gets on track with changing trends. Sitting miles away I seem to think I have more brains than the most successful man in the seat. So, I stop there and keep the faith!

Library is the best place to study. Yes towards the end of my education I seem to have realised that, 5 hours of Mumbai's heat, with no electricity, the occasional winds that blew, were our only resort! Watching the students around though inspired me, I really had no option, 5 days to go! The only thing pleasing was a little break, for munching and then the ultimate relief, when I left, which brings us to the ride back home, my head tends to boil in the 2500 bucks 1.5 kg helmet that I so proudly don. But jokes apart, I was so amazed today, I slid it through my head and had only covered half a mile on the bike, when I saw this drop of sweat on the edge of my hair which was hanging from my forehead directly in front of my left eye. And I couldn't really do anything about it, but even at the speeds of 80-90 kph, that drop remained still, no drag affecting it, no shocks breaking its stance.

The hype around my helmet to this day didn't get to me, but as I reached home after a 15 min ride, I waited a minute before I took off the gear,and watched in aw, it remained! The magical drop just defined to me what along with safety and style had the spending ensured, not the slightest of winds got inside, the head boils, but touch wood, remains unreachable to the world! Like resting your head in vacuum while breathing through it. I head home and the rest of the day was like any other.

Weekend approaching, and its West Brom away, never too easy that, and on the back of such results, ever so difficult, a must win game, and the last one before we sign off until August, just FYI, Euros are approaching fill in the fantasy entries asap! Although I am done betting on international teams unless Spain crash out, then it may seem fair to the others, just joking! Or am I?! Goodnight Goons! Pray for 3 points, but most importantly 3rd place!


P.S. Apology to the passion I didn't respect earlier. Never meant it!
