King Henry Leaves the Throne...


“Arsenal will be in my blood aswell as my heart. I will always, always, always remember you guys. I said I was going to be a Gunner for life and I did not lie because when you are a Gunner you will always be a Gunner. The Club is in my heart and will remain in my heart forever.” - Thierry Henry (23 June)


It is surely an end of an era as the great man, THIERRY HENRY leaves ARSENAL FC to join FC BARCELONA. A feeling of sadness has overpowered all fellow gunners as we loose the man who best represented the Arsenal Jersey with his fabulous goals. And, oh, what goals they were. Who can forget his hat-tricks against Liverpool and Roma, his double at Inter, solo efforts from inside his own half against Spurs and Real Madrid, or his flick up and volley over Fabien Barthez against Man Utd? The list goes on. I can still here d commentator shoutin in disbelief " HENRYYYYYYYYYYYY STRIKES !!!

It was on the cards especially after the departure of Viera, Pires, and recent one of David Dien. Everyone knows Henry has made this move most unwillingly, and I believe politics has done our club more harm than anything else in recent years. Henry wanted some stability...and clearly after departure of Dein he was unsetteled.
We all wanted Henry to bounce back and show them all what he's all about, I wanted Henry to take us out of this torrid times but all this was not to happen.
Very few gud arrivals at Arsenal but very big departures have become trend of the day. I loved henry but I have also come to realize that no one is bigger than the club, not even HENRY himself. We ll always remember him for all d great moments he gave us.


We bid you farewell and luck & hope you set the LA LIGA on fire. Henry is leavin the club but he'll always be there in our heart as gunner n only in red-white jersey.
And personally I dont blame him for leaving. He in 30 and everyone wants to play in a big club like Barca..


I'll be a GUNNER for rest of my life & I'll also be his craziest fan until i die.
But as I say all this, I know arsenal will fight back, I know we'll get through, I know we'll win.ARSENAL is no joke. We have done it in the past and we'll do it again. But I am waiting for the day when Arsenal meets Barca in UCL final....
Go Arsenal go........, we are with you as Gunners



Hail Titi,

Hail Arsenal....

Great Indian Presidential Drama

As the governments world over are busy with how to maintain their economies, improve trade, production and efficency, in India politicians are involved in a fight for who would be next Indian President..Everyday new candidates appear, new alignments are formed and at the end of the day there is still confusion on who should be the first citizen.

But is this thing so important that politicians elected for Parliament, parties involves have made this a prestige issue thereby neglecting graver problems facing the country. President of India is a nominal & ceremonial head and all his powers are in fact vested by Prime Minister and council of ministers..so should there be all this drama??In fact President of our country should be non political distinguished identity who is respected throughout India and World & who can represent India at world stage.APJ Abdul Kalam was best choice for this post and if he is to be replaced(due to party diff) then maybe we can have some other personality like Narayanmurthy (Infosys Founder)...there is no scarcity of such people in India..

What we don't want are these altercations, spending of public money on futile debates over candidates whose name half of country don't even know and world is not even aware of them..and have been nominated just because of vote bank politics, interests etc.In place of all this drama our leaders should focus their attension on the problems faced by country like Allocation of SEZ, Disinvestment, Maintaining GDP, Improving trade....

We can only pray that this drama soon ends....

Significance of 1984...in Present World



Having just read Orwell's 1984 I was fascinated by period, characters and idea characterized by him. Though the plot was realized in novel in1984...n since nothing of that dimension occurred people derided the novel stating it to be baseless and its idea unrealistic. But I think that maybe time is not correct we cannot escape the dangers mentioned in the Orwellian World. Author was not guessing the time of such catastrophe but was focusing on the dangers of such world. If we look around we can clearly see Orwellian Characteristics emerging in the society. Now think of the main idea of party-

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS KNOWLEDGE
The Book forwards the idea of another book by the same author-"Animal Farm",. World mentioned is divided into three almost equal powers in which there is complete dictatorship of a party. All movements and workings of citizens are continuously monitored and press and media are wholly controlled by the government which bends the news and facts in its favour. Prevalent language is "Newspeak" in which all worlds conveying the ideas opposed to party are eliminated. Any person with different opinion than party is "evaporated" or eliminated in party terms. All this is seen through the eyes of our main character "Winston Smith" who battles against all this. But essence of the story is how world of ours can develop into such a authoritative society which defeats the basic ideas of democracy, freedom etc.
How true these ideas appear today. America declares war on Iraq- Afghanistan that stretches for 5 years...kills millions..and still is claimed by the coalition forces to be the war fought for freedom, peace blah blah...
Governments hide information from people stating it is in there interests, people work under the directives of government, or similar organizations and still happy to be free...world becoming a board game where all policies are decided by few in control and the rest follows. Doesn't these suggest the coming of Orwellian World...
Think and imagine the world around you and don't you feel someone is watching you or you are bound by someones orders suggested in the novel by famous line -
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
No one is free to do what one thinks is correct but is considered wrong by the system. If you go against the system they either crush you, try to defame you similar to something happening in novel where the chief character realizes the idea mentioned in top line of this blog..
What I want to say is that though all these characteristics may not be present simultaneously but are nevertheless present in some form or the other...and it is our responsibility to remove these from our society and prevent the world from entering the Orwellian Phase...

about HITLER



Adolf hitler dubbed as the most evil person is absolutely most hated person not only among Jews but also in whole of World..You can find massive commentries about horrors and crimes he commited on people but here I would like to mention some facts first:

1) all the crimes and horrors commited by Nazis are reported mostly by Americans, Russians or people opposed to Hitler. Now it is a known fact that -
" History is written by Victorious Power"
No one mentions the devastation caused by allied bombing and various atrocities they commited. Excellent example of this is Present Iraq War where no of deaths of both American soldiers as well as Iraqi civilians are widely mistated by American govt.,but since media today is much more developed they have revealed the truth. This was not the case in 1930-50 and so all that media has reported was in the hands of Allied Powers. Seeing war in this light can significantly change your opinion.

2) You should at the same time also admire the Administration skills of this person, the way he carried entire German Machinery on his own, his oratory skills, his power to influence and lead masses.

3) Progress made by Germany after devastation of first World War is superb and it was all because of Hitlers management and governing skills.

I am no neo-Nazi or anything like that...but just wanted to give my opinion that there where some positives in this man and not always that mentioned in books and media is truth. You should try to see the thing behind it.
Your opinion and criticism are welcome.
Auf Wiedersehen...
