Life Without You Is Nothing - A Tribute to all my closest friends. :)

                      "चाँद अधुरा है सितारों के बिना,                              
                       गुलशन अधुरा है बहारों के बिना,
                       समुन्दर अधुरा है किनारों के बिना,

                       जीना अधुरा है तुम जैसे यारों के बिना."

               This is dedicated to my closest pals. Love you all! :)

• Brandon D'Souza : 

I must say that he's the sweetest guy around. A total Stud of a kind. He's a person with whom you would never-ever have a feeling of being bored. Doesn't forget to entertain people with his witty one liners. If I start listing his one-liners, there millions and quadrillions of them. So, I would like to share a few with you all. "Mazak mazak me Razzak kar diya saale ne" is one of them. I actually do not know where he got the idea of using "Razzak" in that. But, the moment he said that one day, we were in splits. It was totally unexpected. Another one which I can recollect is, "Me - Kya hua? | Brandon : Ladka hua, palega kya? ". That was too good. Another thing about him which amazes me is his Football. My GOD, what talent. You might not believe that this freako' plays such good Football without even watching it unlike the others. Later comes his driving. I must say that he must've been Valentino Rossi in his previous birth. You sit behind him, and he goes VROOOOOM! ( Though he's fast, he's the safest ). Thanks for being such a good friend mate. Love you. :)

• Arun Anantakrishnan :

Here comes Dodo - as we call him. A person who's got an out-of-the world personality. He's a person who'll make you laugh all the time, whatever the situation may be. A quite witty person but acts like a बैल sometimes :P . He's got the unprecedented knack of cracking hilarious jokes, spontaneously.  A great entertainer - may it be Dance ( he sucks at it ) , Singing ( he sucks at it ) , Jokes ( Imba! ) and what not. A jovial and an happy-go-lucky person. "कोई ग़म नहीं है उसको" - as we say! :D. He's the one who is our target all the time. But, he's got the talent of ignoring us at such times. You won't belive that this guy has the lyrics of all the Chartbusters on the tip of his tongue. I envy him for that. Thanks for being such a sweet Dodo mate. Hope you always be our "धमाकेधार Dodo" :)

• Rohan Krishnakumar :

Here comes, Baaa! I must say that this guy has a vibrant personality. He's the one who'll make people know about his presence. Extremely funny and has got a great sense of humour. He's a guy who is very much matured for his age. "साला, अब तक बच्चा है!". Believe me, he's one of the best Goalkeepers in town. An awesome guy. Annoying at sometimes ( just coz' of a bit of stubbornness ) but the BEST of all. The first thing that comes to my mind about Rohan is "Aaaaa Maushyaaaa" and "Duuuuuudeee" :D. He's a kind of a person who'll take your case without even letting you know about that ( you know about that Rohan :P ). Hope you remain as you are. Love you lots. :)

• Saurabh Chaudhari :

An elegant personality blended with "Stud"ness, this guy is worth a talk. He's God-gifted with an awesome sense of humour. Believe me, the "60%" wala answer to Prem Sir was awesome. We almost fell on the ground laughing to that joke of yours. :D He's a multi-faceted character well versed in fields like Cricket, Carrom, Dance, Football and many more. Love you loads mate. Cheers. :)

• Praful Jain : 

Here comes Mr.Praful Jain urf Phantom :D. He's fun-loving and a jovial personality. Does not fear about the consequences of doing something, may it be right/wrong. An open-minded person who does not keep anything stuffed inside. He says, what he feels. This makes me salute him, coz' he has retained this quality of his - inspite of many things happening against him. A person who likes to talk, talk and talk. I would tag him as a No. 1 Gossiper. :D. He's got a great imagination and comes up with different surprises all the time ( you know what I mean ). Hope  you remain unchanged throughout your life mate. Cheers. :)

• Palak Agarwal : 

Here comes Ms. Palak. A very sweet, loving and a caring creature. She's darn good at Arts. Her Paintings, my GOD. They are just too good. Very very creative in whatever she does. She's the one who'll be talking all the stuff when you're with her. Cherishes each and every moment together and with a BANG. Never makes you feel insecure and pours out what she feels. Trust me, she's extremely heartening to be with. She's loved by all those who know her. Cheers Palak. :)

She is multi-talented and a master in many fields.She is the biggest Dhoni Fan that I've ever come across in my life ( though she has to face the consequences coz' of that :P ) Hope she all her life remains the Sweety-Pie that she is now. :). Cheers!

Let us kiss the Silverware. :D

Yay!!

This is it, finally. This is the moment I was waiting for - infact all the Blues were waiting for. In the beginning of the season, a question popped up in my mind. "Will Carlo be able to win it after Josè?". And yes, he indeed did it. What a way!

Carlo has indeed done a commendable job. But, it sure wasn't possible without the players. He was very well flanked by Drogba - The Top Scorer, Lampard - The Best Midfielder in the World, Anelka - The Silent Assassin, Terry - Mr.Chelsea, Cech - The Barricade, Malouda - The Genius and others as well. Chelsea made it possible inspite of the injuries to Essien, A.Cole, Cech, Ivanovic and others as well. It was really heartening to see youngsters like Kakuta and Sturridge give their heart and soul on the field.

The season kicked off at a really well for the Blues - both at the English Premier League and the FA Cup. At first it looked like Chelsea meant real business and wanted to clinch the title midway. Drogba was in form, so were the others. He was on a scoring spree and was BEYOND Godlike. During the December-January period, Chelsea missed some of their Pillars as they were called for their International Duties. People said that we were blunt without the lights of a Drogba or a Kalou or an Essien. But, that never did bother us. We were rollin' and scorin' and swayin' to the top.

The actual problems started in the February-March period. I would rather term that as a Drought for us. That was the time when Manchester United were at their prime and were holding on to their nerves to get to the top of the table. It all started with out loss to some sundry team. Later, it was followed by our exit from the Champions League to Inter Milan. That was it! A BIG Blow to our face.

But things started getting better after Manchester United lost to Everton in the February fixture. That was the moment when we really pulled up our socks and started climbing back to the top - deservingly!


Now that the end is nearing, I can see two trophies coming our way - though not sure.
The FA Cup and The Barclays Premier League. This is the moment I've been waiting for since the day this season was underway!

I hope we do it. I know we will. That would be time when I would proudly sing,

                           "Flying high, up in the sky,
                            We’ll keep the blue flag flying high,
                            From Stamford Bridge to Wembley
                           We’ll keep the blue flag flying high…"
                          

   Cheers. :)
