This Girl's Diary: Moscow painted blue

Moscow painted blue

This blog has been long overdue. I have a lot of free time in hand right now but somehow I never really get the time to actually sit down and write something. The past week was a bit rough with some thoughts in my head and many people playing a crucial part, but presently everything is back to the basics. Yesterday was a good day as I got a lot of news. My dearest Beckham has done really well in his exams and secured a good percentage. He is also representing the state in the upcoming Santosh trophy in Jammu so things are moving upwards for him. My own paperwork is on a roll now so by next week I should have everything ready and going.

Today is the 21st and for any football lover it is 'D' day. Champions league finale in Moscow between Chelsea and Man Utd (whom I so lovingly like to call Manure). A lot of my friends ask me why Chelsea? I ask: Why not Chelsea? When a layman who doesn't have any iota about formula one is asked a question on the same, he/she goes, 'Ohhh Schumacher!' Similarly if you ask the very people about football they'll say, 'Ohhh Manchester United! Ohhh Ronaldo!' An observation well noted even in my PG hostel wherein bong chicks would drool over a certain Man Utd without even knowing who their captain or manager was. Nevertheless coming back to my point, Chelsea have won the league three times in the past 103 years. The latter two coming in 2004/05 and 2005/06 season. If a rich Russian billionaire does come along and decide to spend some cash in the club, then what's wrong with that? Football is after all played in the board room more than on the field. It is not like Rooney and the rest are playing for charity. I love rooting for the underdogs, always. Give me Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, West Ham, Fulham etc. I love them all, just kindly keep the red devils away.

The blues have never reached a Champions league finale so in many ways, the fact that they are in the final means its history for them and I think this fairy tale can only become better when we win the cup today.

Blue is the colour, Football is our game

Here we are together and Winning is our aim

So cheer us through the sun and rain

Coz Chelsea. . Chelsea is our name!

A note for the readers

Dear Stranger,

We've shared a one sided relationship over the past few years. It began for us in 2003 when I started my first blog. A few years later I decided against it due to two chief reasons- I wasn't a regular and my writing credentials were best portrayed in my diaries. Somehow the idea of seeing my neat handwritten journals gave me a far greater sense of satisfaction than Microsoft word ever could. It seemed (and still does) to me a feat I achieved minus automatic spell checks and grammatical corrections; a very important one at that and one which I carry till date.

Back in the blog industry for a second time, this was supposed to be my secret haven. A much needed outlet to pour my deepest thoughts. Regrets I may have, anger I may want to unleash, opinions I may want to make and hidden feelings I might want to express. Things haven't exactly worked out according to plan. Strange as it may sound, I feel a constant fear of being judged according to my writings. As a result, these posts represent only a decent chunk of what I may have liked to say otherwise. I constantly keep you in mind. You may or may not know me but it does not stop me from getting paranoid nonetheless. So if you are here today hoping to know my deepest secrets, don't bother to read further. Technology can only get you this far.
