PHILOSOPHY

“An article I thought should be on my blog, as I find it quite interesting and knowledgeable, just take a look and gain some educative philosophy of Charles Schultz the creator of “Peanuts” comic strip…….”

The Philosophy is as follows……

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.How did you do?

The point is none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name three people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of three people you enjoy spending time with.

6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with themost credentials, the most money, or the most awards.They are the ones that care.People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care!

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.It's already tomorrow in Australia."
(Charles Schultz)

Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest

Recently I watched Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest, second part of the series of Pirates of the Caribbean, with having same main cast as in part one. In this part as in the first, the actress Kiera Knightly looked gorgeous…

It’s a nice movie to watch, for those who loves continuation movies, or you can say who don’t bother, if at the end a caption comes "…. to be continued" or some incomplete scene is shown. As I don’t like them, since, I, then have to wait for the next part to arrive. But in this movie that continuation was there, the next part would be released next year, which really made me a bit upset and angry.

Also another interesting thing happened to me, was that, with me was the same friend with whom I watched another movie of continuation parts, and that was Lord of the Rings…..really interesting ….Huh!

It’s really a good movie if you watch it without bothering about the next part…

But, while watching I came up with certain unanswered questions and facts which are quite interesting for me and I am sure to you too also, as follows –

• First and the foremost is that why in this film everyone is so dirty when you have water all around you, is that a fashion shown or to be more dirty as you could to get more attraction or what? They don’t wash there cloths nor even there face…and the most upsetting and dirty thing was the kiss given by the actress to Captain Jack Sparrow, who looked so dirty and always drunk like we have one star in our Bollywood who always looked drunken i.e. the legend Peshton Mukherji (Sorry if I spelled his name wrong).

• Why ant everyone don’t brush there teeth’s, as they are doing the same thing which I told in the first point, or they don’t have anything to brush, not even Neem stick. Strangely they don’t brush, still almost everyone’s teeth are intact, has full 32 of them.

• Another thing was, the several eyes made by the tribes on the face of Capt. Jack Sparrow, I couldn’t understand what it depicts? May be that he can see each and everything, even while he was sleeping.
  
• The villain of the movie Mr. Davy Jones spirit, his crew and ship all looked so dirty and slimy…Yak!....as in Indian films they don’t roam around and fly…but in this, the ship goes underwater like a submarine and also launches its own type of Torpedo…and i.e. a giant Octopus, who attacks the enemy ship, taking whole ship down with eating most of its crew members….really amazing. Also interestingly, the spirit of Davy Jones has his living heart.
  
• Another fact was, the lady who does magic tricks, why she lives in such a jungle, she also looked so dirty.....!, also why always the lady with magic has her hair grown with a style like a grass, just growing and growing without cutting and styling it.
  
• Last but not the least, how the hell, the villain of the first part, i.e. Capt. Skull came up at the last scene of the film as he was dead in the first part, he was risen from the dead or what? And what he was doing with the lady with magic, whether she brought him alive or what? Are they having something burning between them…? For all these questions we have to wait for the next part to arrive….. :)
  

Well, all in all it’s a nice movie to watch, its entertaining, interesting, humorous, thrilling, romantic and action packed, comedy….. :)

BEGGING - A FAMILY BUSINESS

I wanna tell you one incident happened with me just few days back, when I was with my Grand Ma, we were going to some of our relatives, at one of the sweet shop she stopped me and asked to buy some sweets, so I stopped there. After stopping, I saw some beggars roaming around looking for someone to help them. Few days before this incident, I have read one of the blog of my friend on beggars and that made some impact on me to help beggars, so I took out couple of 1 rupee coins and gave them and went inside the shop to purchase sweets.

After purchasing sweets, when I came out, saw 3 to 4 beggars, you can say whole family was begging from my Grand Ma for some money, I told them that I have given you, so just go, but instead of listening they keep on begging to my Grand Ma. I was getting irritated by this. My Grand Ma thought that they’ll go, when she will give some money to them. So she took out her purse and gave 5 rupee to one of them. One of them took it and got aside, but others still were pleading, I got really angry and insulted them, also told Grand Ma to leave before some more come. At that point, one of them probably head of the family said, “If you don’t have that much of money, then why are you traveling through vehicle, you should at least give Rs. 10, you shameless creature.” That was enough for me to get really very angry, so I stopped and was going to grab & him, but Grand Ma stopped me, and told to let it go, so I just took her and went to relatives’ house. Since I never disobeyed her that’s why just went to relatives’ house or else I would have bashed him really badly.

At that moment I couldn’t imagine that the most interesting part of the incident is yet to come…….

It got really late, when we were returning to our place… what I saw was really shocking, while passing through the same place where I bought sweets, those beggars whom we met earlier in the day, were well dressed and also in a Car, the head of the family saw me and gave a teasing smile to me…… I just couldn’t believe my eyes…!

So, the moral of a story is that, there may be some genuine beggars, but it is becoming a well organized and profit making family business for most.

Guys, I won’t tell you, not to give money to any beggars, but you should judge by yourself, that they deserve that penny or not…

Rest is up to you, because it’s your money whether you want or you don want to give to any beggar.

Vola Italiano Vola

What a fantastic win for Italy over France. I can just say VOLA ITALIANO VOLA, and what a shame to ZIZU of what he did. he just could couldn't resist himself for 15mins, and could have ended his career in style but what he did was just shameless thing to do.

Finally you should see yourself whoes header was better, whether it's the header of Zizu or Mettarazzi.....well it's Matterazzi who won the battle as Itlay won the World Cup 5-3 in penalty shoot out.

Golden Boot was given as expected to Klose of Germany, Golden Hands given to Buffon of Italy and Golden Ball to Zizu...

PORTUGAL

Portugal played well in the match for third place against Germany, but there defence was poor as compared to whole tournament, Ricardo again made some fantastic saves, but Germans are better and quality players and they proved it in this match. Although Portugal also tried but Oliver Kahn in my point of view is the best goalkeeper and a wall between the goal post and
Portugal attack, which Portugal tried to demolish but couldn’t be able to do so.

Today is the Big One, THE FINALS of the FIFA World Cup 2006, lets hope it to the most thrilling and fascinating match of the tournament. Lets also see what magic of Zizu and his brigade can do against Totti’s brigade.

Eagerly waiting for this match and YOU ALL?
Enjoy The Game…….:)

ZIZU

Zizu, Zizu, Zizu……! All fans were going crazy after the second Semi-Final, when Zizu shattered the hopes of Portugal to be first time in the Finals of the World Cup, when he scored the only goal in the match, taking one of the brilliant penalty against the penalty specialist Ricardo, as they called him after England - Portugal match.

The hopes of Scolari to become the only coach to take two different nations team to the World Cup Finals, was shattered. This defeat doesn’t mean that they played badly, but showed some aggressive football playing. Not just in other matches, but in this match too and they attacked and had more possession around 55% in the whole match against France. The only mistake they made, to loose this match, was the tackle by one of the defenders to Henry in the goal post area.

All in all a good match, and hope Portugal should give a good fight to Germany for third place.

Also hope it could be hell of a Final between the two giants of Football World i.e. Italy Vs France. It could be a fight between Zizu and defence of Italy; because of which, they are yet to have a goal against them in this World Cup.

There are 140 goals scored in this World Cup till now, and still two matches to go…WOW! This World Cup has much more goals scored than previous ones.

Also another interesting fact is that in this World Cup no hatrick has been taken yet. Before this World Cup, in every World Cup there is atleast one hatrick is being taken, let’s see what we have in Finals.

Scolari: A Champ Coach

Scolari, coach of Portugal, was the coach of Brazil who won the last World cup. He is the man with a mission to win this World Cup with Portugal. He currently has 12 straight wins and today could be the 13th, for most 13 is the unlucky number, but for Scolari it could be the lucky one. Portugal Vs France, a fight of brain with brain, skills with skills, coach’s brilliance with brilliance, as till now both coach’s proved. It is the fight between Scolari Vs Domenech (coach of France), with both showing very different strategies and tactics, against different opponents but having same and the only aim to WIN.We have number of stars in both teams, such as in Portugal we have C.Ronaldo, Maniche, Figo, Miguel, etc. While in France its Zizu, Henry, Viera, Ribery, etc.

It could be a very good game to watch and to see whether Scolari and his boys can stop the magic of Zizu, Henry, etc. There is one more interesting fact to note, on papers it seems that France is a much better and experienced side against Portugal, but FIFA ranking suggest Portugal to be the better side with having 7th spot in the FIFA ranking against 8th of France.

Hmm… so we have to wait to see all the questions to be answered until this match is played.

FIFA WORLD CUP 2006

What a cracker of a match it was, between England and Portugal, hopes of England has been demolished by Portugal with score line of 3-1, in the penalty shoot out, with an incredible saves by Ricardo, the Portuguese goalkeeper. I was wrong in my last article when I said that Figo might not play because of Red card but that was not the case, as I was confused with Deco who got the card and not Figo, and he displayed some good football. But the hero of day was Ricardo with some brilliant saves to shatter the hopes of England.
In the match between Brazil and France, it was the brilliant display of football by Zenedine Zedane famously known as ZIZU. Brazil don’t have any answers to ZIZU, who showed some beautiful football playing, he made the Brazilians look as they were not Brazil but any other team. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Adriano, Cafu, Carlos, all look very ordinary in this match, they didn’t live up to there reputation. It was disappointing to see the Brazilian performance in the match; they just couldn’t stop Zizu and Henry. The performances of Ronaldo again disappointing, Ronaldinho magic failed.
All in all, it was a sad day for Brazil and his fans. Brazil lost the match to France with a score of 1-0. Now France meets Portugal in the Semi-Finals.
Well now only the European teams left in the tournament to compete for FIFA World Cup 2006, quite interesting….Na!

3rd & 4th QFs of FIFA WC 2006

Today is one of the big matches in the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup 2006, as Brazil takes on France. Wow what a match that could be, reminds me of the last World Cup Finals, when these big two giants meet, then France came up as the winner with Zenedine Zedane's excellent game.
Again in this World Cup they are meeting. It is the fight of superiority, fight of strenght, of courage, fight of being at the top and the fight of Zenedine Zedan , Henry Vs Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc. As Brazil getting into its magic again as the tournament proressed, its players are coming into form.With Ronaldo becoming top goal scorer beating Mullers record of 14 goals, it could be quite tough this time to control Brazil, as they are now looking quite strong and eager to win the Cup.
Another match is between England and Portugal, where England are the favourite's having player's who can destroy the defences of Portugal, such as Beckham, Rooney, etc. On the other hand we have a team which is guilty of making too many fouls in the last game to concede many yellow and red cards, which means they will not have there full strength. I think Figo also got the red card in the last game that means he will also not play in this match, which then could be the biggest disaster for them, as he is one of the top players in the team.
Well, all will be decided, today itself, when these team meet each other and then we can have the clear picture of Semi-Finals of FIFA WC 2006.

Argentina Vs Germany 1st QFs of FIFA WC 2006

Wow! what a fascinating, intriguing and thrilling match that was. The stadium jam packed with white and blue t-shirts all over the stadium. It was like a World Cup Final to me.
I forgot to mention about Germany in my last article, well the result is in front of us. It was quite sad to see Argentina loosing, instead of playing so well in the tournament, up till now, even in this match they played good football of 120 minutes (including extra time), except for the penalty shoot out where they missed the trick.
In my point of view they made few mistakes, while substituting; firstly they made the substitution quite early, as there were still 20-25 minutes of play left, they shouldn’t have taken for granted the fact that they were 1 up by then, next mistake came when they substituted Riquilme, who was the back bone of Argentina attack, a very creative player.
Then that was not enough, they again made the substitution and substituted Crespo, one of the main striker, with Cruz who barely had a game in this World Cup, instead of Cruz they should have substituted Messi. Last but not the least, after these mistake there came the biggest misshape, when the goalkeeper got injured, and lastly substituted by default with Franco, who haven’t had any game at all in this World Cup, as also seen in the penalty shoot out, of its short match practice.
Well that doesn’t mean that Argentina lost only because of its mistakes, but it lost because of some brilliant display of football by Germany, not just in the penalty shoot out, but also in rest of the match before penalty shoot out, in not just stopping Argentina attacks but also counter attacking them. The equalizing goal was a brilliant one from Klose, the leading goal scorer in the tournament, and the contender for the Golden Boot. Also want to praise the Germany goalkeeper who stopped two of the four penalties, taking Germany to the semis with score of 4-2 beating Argentina.
Now Germany will meet Italy in the Semi Finals, as Italy beat Ukraine quite easily with a score line of 3-0.
