tujse door jaane ke baad kuch is tarah ka aalam hai,
ashq nayano se rukne ka naam hi nahi lete hain,
kabhi tere saath ko yaad karte hain kabhi teri ruswaai ko,
tere bin na jaane kaise har roz ek nai zindagi ji lete hain,
humne to socha tha ki tere sang zindagi poori bitayenge,
ab tere naam se zeher ke do char jaam hum roz pi lete hain...(Anonymous)

Emphatic
The champions are back..and in style..what a game, a complete joy to watch..especially for a purist like me who loves it fast,slick and on the deck.Good football for me is like good food..it is always satisfying to watch united or arsenal play..and to a lesser extent even the Chelsea(under Guus and now Ancelloti).
This post was not planned...it is just that i cant hold my emotions after yesterdays match..but then a football post was inevitable keeping in mind my love for the beautiful game.It was pure class from both the teams but united wanted it a bit more,they were totally up for it.I guess that's what distinguishes champions from contenders..that extra bit of steel,mental strength and desire.
The final score line of Man united 3 - 1 Arsenal was a good reflection of the game.The first goal for united was from Nani, a player who had been getting a lot of stick of late for his inconsistency and attitude but it looks like he had turned it around at the right time with consistent performance in the last four games.The goal was really a work of genius, Nani has always had the skill but lacked application and being in the shadow of Ronaldo dint help either.This goal was special and of a different class.The skill he used to trick the full back and the supporting defender was just sublime and then topped with the quick shift of feet to leave another defender to death and lob the ball over the keeper for the goal made it a spectacle to watch. Even Ronaldo would have admired his international colleagues skill.Sir Alex's faith to select him instead of Valencia was thus justified.
If you want to know what a counter attack in football means then you should check out united's second goal.It was a perfect out of the text book counter attack. United cleared there lines from an Arsenal attack and the ball came to feet of inspiring Rooney.He then swept it to the motivated winger who carried it into the arsenal third and then made a perfectly weighted pass for Rooney who made a 70 yard sprint to finish off the move.Rooney has been on fire this season and is being mooted as the most in form striker in the league.He has shown great speed and desire to make that run.I can't think of many other strikers willing to do that.We hear people saying that we should do what we love to do to succeed in life.But many of us don't know what we really want to do.Its not the case with Rooney.He is born to play football.
The third goal was a mistake from the arsenal defence.They completely lost the marking on Ji Sung Park who carried the ball from the half was line and slid it pass the helpless Almunia.Arsenal were however able to salvage some pride and pull one back through Vermalean courtesy of a deflection from the united defender.I was completed satisfied with the quality of football on display.90 minutes well spent considering the free time available after CAT exam.
I do regret missing the Australian open final for which i was able to tune in only for the post match presentation.Yet again king Federer reigned.It was a very emotional defeat for Murray who broke in to tears saying "I can cry like Roger but i cant play like him".But the British can take heart in the fact that he was undone by the best in the business and as said by Federer himself that he is too good a player not to win any grand slam.It was a great weekend for a sports lover to relish.

"Know thyself" was the very idea that condemned Socrates to death.I hope the moral police of today wont take such an extreme action towards my quest for self-actualization.Why am I writing a blog??unlike many thing in my life I am very clear about my motive for a blog.It is going to be the platform to vent out all the confusion and commotion that had been built up inside me from quite a few years.Ones I relieve myself of the inner misery i will start writing brief reviews of the books that i read.
Well since this is my first blog i will give you all a little peek into my personality(not the physical part).I am a very self contradictory person.Vey much a twin personality,one an ardent critic of the other. A typical Gemini, not that i am a horoscope freak but the general traits were too obvious to ignore.Coming to my sense of humour,the less talked about it the better i guess.I will leave it to that.You will probably know about me more from my future posts.
The thought of starting a blog had been there for a long time but the process of starting it and naming it was very offhand. Before you jump onto the bandwagon that the title "The Struggle Within" has been inspired from the famous Mettalica number let me spare you the thought that it's not the case.I don't listen to metal bands. When I first thought of writing a blog i decided that it will be more about my thoughts and since there is a big chaos in the grey matter of my head i decided to name it so.It was not until I googled(love this term) that i found there was such a song.
My writing skills are not great, I am a complete novice.You can find that i am not good with the transition between ideas and that the general thoughts are very haphazardly scattered.So my earnest request to the readers to make any suggestion or correction that will improve my writing.
It took nearly the same time to start the blog after the thought first came to my mind as it took James Cameroon to make Avatar after Titanic.Then no one can argue about the quality of either:) Hope the second one won't take much long but then writing a blog is not as easy as it first seemed, especially for a person deprived of good vocabulary, words are often hard to come.
