Something is fishy for sure !!
... for football freaks only
Couple of days back I heard a news. Henry stood third behind Ronaldinho and Shevchenko for the best European footballer award. Initially I thought that it was one of those things which get spread but when I came to know that this is the fact, I was dumbstruck to say the least. All the three are great players without a shadow of a doubt but Henry is by far the best.
Ronaldinho is a dazzler and has contributed no ends in Barcelona's recent success but when u compare his performance with Henry's … its peanuts. Henry is not only a prolific goal scorer but, as arsenal team members will tell, he is the best assist in the EPL. So basically he is both .. a fierce striker and an excellent provider … cant ask for more than that. Ronaldinho on the other hand is no where near to Henry as far as goal scoring is concerned. Henry may not have those outrageous skills of Ronaldinho but what matters is being effective on the field and he is surely better than Ronaldinho in that respect. If one sees on the simplest gauge, Barcelona without Ronaldinho is imaginable but Arsenal without Henry … what is that ?
As far as Shevchenko is concerned, well, one can say stop Shevchenko and AC Milan will be stopped. He is a AC Milan’s heart and soul and in some ways is what Henry is to Arsenal. But by no means is he a better goal getter than Henry and is no where near Henry as far as assistance is concerned.
So for me Henry wins it hands down. And the fact that he stood third tells me that there is some sort of conspiracy theory going on !!!

A rumor here and a rumor there !
Salman Khan has committed suicide .. Sri Jyendra Saraswathi brought him to life .. something impossible has happened .. boy, what a miracle !!!
I got a mail with this kind of content in my mail box yesterday, and though I am not a fan of salman, I was shit shocked. I frantically opened all the possible news related sites to check what exactly happened. The only thing I found out was that I was fooled big time !!! Similar thing happened just a few days back when I got the mail giving away the end of Veer Zaara which was weird to say the least. Looking at it now, the end suggested in the mail would have been a much better choice but anyways, the bottom line is that I was again ... fooled !!!
But hey its not my fault, i had also got a mail saying that veerappan was dead. That was true. Boy, in this ‘kaliyug’ what to believe and what to not is anyone’s guess.
Rumors are part of my life since from when I remember (and I am sure that this applies to everyone if not most of u). When in college before exam of every semester the air was full of rumors that the exams are postponed or otherwise and the external examiner is going to be a tough nut. And of course the mother of all rumors – “Have u heard that this time the result is less than 10 odd %”. And though everyone knew that this is anything but true, or it is a hardcore rumor, majority of guys got terrified. And I must say that I might have looked really cool about all this stuff and kept telling everyone that this was horse crap but the fact is that this was all pretension. The question “what if” used to make its home in my mind till the results were out.
I was just wondering why the hell and who the hell starts such “things”. And guess what I got the answer in my own bag. The amount of free time I had in college or when I don’t have much to do in the office and nothing on the internet is unexplored, devil can easily creep into the idle mind. Here please note that I am telling this by logic and not experience.
Having said all this if u happen to be a rumor father don’t ever stop doing the “thing”. It has become a part of my life and I just don’t want to remove such an exciting thing which makes the life look even more unpredictable and gives stuff to talk about on the ‘Katta’.
I am writing this because I did not know what else I can post as my first one and of course I am having some free time .... wait a minute ... why am I doing this, I might just have a better idea !
