This Girl's Diary: Marching ahead

Marching ahead

I'm starting this post with two important words today -- WE WON!

Murphy has special affection for me and tonight was no exception. When I made my entry in the TV room post 1 am, the remote control was lost. So I rushed to the boys wing, got the remote, switched to AV, went all the way back to return the remote and came back smiling. Then I switched on the set box and scanned through my channels. ESPN. Check. Star Sports. Check. Ten Sports. I was staring at a message that read something like this- "This channel is currently not available in your pack". Naturally I was fuming but I came back to my room, banking on the one solace for the night- Scoremobile on my BB. I refreshed EPL. Check. La Liga. Check. Champions league. There flashed a message that now read "Down for maintenance". Finally I had to refresh my twitter page every 5 minutes and rely on updates from my brother who was following the game back home.

Like I mentioned in the previous post, confidence would be the difference. And we were super confident. So now we stride into the quarters with our heads held high. A 4-1 (and 5-4 on aggregates) victory against Napoli. Chelsea. How can one word make me so happy?!

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.
