THE CUP OF UPSETS

When the world cup 2010 started on june 11 it was termed by the Africans as THE CUP OF JOY.As we progressed to the business end of this edition many of the previous predictions were proved wrong and hearts were broken. I personally feel sorry for DUNGA and MARADONA whose teams were at the top till quarter finals but faltered at the big stage, both Messi and KAKA failed to live upto their reputation.ENGLAND as always, came as the favourites and lost the way in the knockout stages . FRANCE and ITALY were the ageing teams but were not expected the first round exit.HOLLAND were the surprise package as no one expected them to play in soccer city stadium on july 11. GERmany AFTER LOSING TO SERBIA came back very strongly knocking out ENGLAND and ARGENTINA but lost at the big match to SPAIN. SPAIN proved that their europeon title wasn't a fluke but they were also a part of upset against the SWISS . ASIAN teams reached the round of 16 but couldn't get through to quarters. URUGUAY was the lone latin amerians in the semis but were demolished by the DUTCH.ON july 11 when SPAIN will play HOLLAND in the penultimate final many predictions will be proved wrong and the hearts will be broken as the 201 edition would be remembered as THE CUP OF UPSETS

First timer

I always felt that or i can say that asked myself that is writing blogs gives u some pleasure or satisfaction or its just that 'everyone is doing it so you also join it' but slowly i understood that it can be used as a platform(not related to any railway station) for an average person like me to share my views or my life experiences with more average blog writers. My first post is only about how i started to follow a trend that helps me to connect my feelings to every blogger out there.When i first heard abot blog, it was from Mr. Aamir Khan when he launched his website so that he can connect with his fans through his BLOG.AS every other fan of his i too searched for the site and wanted to log in but blame it on server or my POOR BROADBAND connection i wasn't able to open that site and my frustration kept me distant from blogcast and any other networink site until today. My friends often talked about blogs which helped arousing my curiosity about it. One day my friend Aneesh told me that he was caught travelling without ticket in DTC and was fined rs.100 .He later told me that he wrote a blog about it recounting the whole incident, i just i laughed at him not for the fine but about him writing the blog. It took time for me to understand about the blogs and its uses(if it was useless i would rather waste my time watching movies) . Finally i have written my first blog.
