The Dream

Adidas WC 2010 Repliqué Soccer Ball, White/Black/Pure Yellow, 5 This article isn’t a few days early. It is yet another English fan scripting an account of a disappointing outing for England. Let me confess my interest in football began only about 2 years ago. I became an ardent fan of Chelsea. Didier Drogba is the reason I got attracted towards Chelsea and later became a big fan of most of the players. One player who’d top the list is the most faithful yet underrated soldier of Chelsea and England Frank Lampard. With Lampard and Terry being a part of Chelsea my loyalties definitely rested with England for the World Cup 2010 though an English fan is a person who usually gets snubbed pretty soon in the season. England did the expected. They didn’t look like champions in any of the games they played. An under-5-minutes brilliance from Steven Gerrard in the first game didn’t make England look like giants. They struggled their way through USA’s formation and could not break it. Defensive...

Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin Einstein Varghese If Chetan Bhagat didn’t do enough to inspire me and confuse me, Sidin Vadukut has just taken it to another level. Let me tell you a little bit about the “CAT” grind. Any averagely informed MBA seeker will realize that there are 6 institutes located in 6 different places of India that abbreviate to 3 letters and one has to master an entrance test, again abbreviated to three letters, to get through the portals of the apex institutes of the management world in India. Once you join a coaching centre it pretty much becomes clear that if the picture of IIM Ahmedabad does not feature next to your beloved family deities then you aren’t really serious about your classes in these institutes which will put you through a psychological toughness that is required to endure 2 hours which will largely constitute inability to answer most questions.

So I will try and tell you in as many words that will still be grossly inadequate. You make me feel like morning dew! Have you ever noticed that you never see the dew forming? You just know it is there every morning. Green leaves are beautiful. The flowers are lovely. But have you seen what the dew did? It made the green leaves come alive with color. It has made the petals of the flowers sizzle. It created fragrance out of mud. It brought dead things to life. That is what you did to me, you brought me to life. From the day I came to know you I’ve started loving myself even more. I know that I should be worthy of the appr...

How do you like that corner office? How I would like that to be mine? Do you see that large cabin in office, one day that’ll be mine? I just saw a porcelain cup and saucer filled with tea being taken into that large cabin. I guess this is the moment when you look at it and say “One day, they will bring that cup to me in my cabin”. But god, help!! I am not feeling that way. I haven’t felt that way since the first day at work or for that matter any day at work. Is this a common syndrome or am I just freaking out? If I am just freaking out why does the mirror on the washroom read Misfit on top of my reflection?

This is it. He did it. He always wanted this. In fact he had never wanted anything else. His life was a pure dedication to achieve just this one thing. He could feel himself beaming uncontrollably. His friends hadn’t stopped calling. The ones that could rush up to him have all seen him, wished him and held him close to their chests. They could feel his elation. They all knew that in his life only that mattered and he had done it. He had never known anything else apart from the Everest he had set to climb. The path was never going to be easy. The very friends who couldn’t contain their pride for their friend had warned him against it. They kept stressing how he was set on a wild goose chase and how he would end up a loser. They threatened him not to ever talk to him again if he still wanted to pursue it. He had hesitated not because he was confused if this was the path to take, only to find words to convey that he is resolute and his decision will not change whatever be the consequence....
