I know how it feels when your team fails to reach the finals of the Champions league, They had almost looked to have sealed their birth in the finals against Manchester United, but for the Iniesta goal it eluded them from the obvious final. Being a Liverpool i love the sport of football and love to watch good teams play with great adrenaline.
Hardly did the Catalans looked comfortable in the match which was predominantly dominated by Chelsea, and barely did the Spanish side troubled Cech during the course of the match. To me you feel really sorry when the best team of the day couldn't make it to the finals, it really hearts and to all this it looks like the culprit is the referee Tom Ovrebo. The referee was a farce, complete mockery and looked totally out of sorts. Is this fair?? referee almost denying the Blues a chance to seal their position in the finals. At least 5 penalty appeals were rejected and all it took was the injury time goal for the Catalans with the the away goal advantage to seal a place at Rome.
Guys, to me i can shout top of my voice to show my dissent on the referee. But the result has been decided, the game is over and Barca will meet Man Utd at Rome. My heart feelings for all the Blues fan, they deserved a place in Rome but its really unfortunate that they couldn't make it. I would really relished if Blues had made it to the finals and we could have seen the repeat of last years Champions league finals. But it stays there and Barcelona will meet Manchester United at Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 27 May 2009.

What is about Bose ??
People don't read the title wrong, i don't have any problems with people named Bose but i have got addicted to the Bose headphones. You wont believe me , here in US i don't remember not entering a Bose showroom after going to a mall. Ok, fine what is it so much hyped?? To answer it for yourself take a jig in to the nearby Bose showroom, believe me it just takes you off.
The one that impressed me was the Acoustic noise canceling headphones just because it fits you ear perfectly and the sounds just keep ticking your ear drums forever. I still remember the minuscule sounds that was played in the background of a sample music. I normally when listening to music never got attention to the small tunes that runs along with the actual score it was otherwise with Bose headphones. Their quality sound can uncover subtleties you've never noticed before, even with familiar tracks thats indeed amazing. I would love to hear more music through Bose headphones just because it gives a out of the world experience.
For all this well and said they don't come in reasonable price, and for that matter i was hooking on to the deals here and i never found one on Bose headphones. Thats disappointing but i also understand that their quality is far way better that others in the market. With Bose get a new lease in listening to music and enrich the amazing experience. For more info check out their website here, not to long from now i would like to be a proud owner of Bose headphones.

CSK back on track
Back to back wins by Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings. What a clinical finish it was, i loved to watch them winning. Few key highlights of the match was the amazing one handed catch by Raina. That set the things right for CSK while bowling. All CSK fans would be expecting similar wins from here on. It looks like the fielding and tight bowling at the death did the trick for CSK today.
T20 is unbelievably unpredictable, they ways Delhi Dare devils got back and for a moment they were on the way to win. But few good overs by spinners turned the match on its head. I love the new bowler Jakati bowl , slow left arm , bowls it very flat and with some variations in his book. Folks might be wondering where on earth this player was earlier to this match for all your thinking check this out there. Crucial 4 wickets and the first was a gem ,cleaning Dilshan.
I love them winning and good that they have hit back at the right time, not at the fag end of the tournament where you will never move up the ladder. Enjoying IPL T20 from New Jersey , me and my friends are watching it online from here and click here to join the party and do a whistle for CSK.

Trying to keep myself healthy :-)
Yes, am doing that lots of gym session on the treadmill and the stepper. I hope i have burnt some calories today with almost an hour and a half. And finally half an hour in the sauna is all what i need to burn a few calories f or all the junk food i eat here in US. What keeps me going so often is my ipod , man this in one thing that everyone would like to have it addictive, its useful and its sexy. I have got obsessed with my ipod shuffle.
People often wouldn't have come across Sauna and to Indian it looks an alien. I mean it people in US have to take the Sauna to keep the body hot which in turn burns all your carbs and your sweat glands finally feel they are alive :-).. People here in US are far obese than i have seen people and for that matter they eat all the junk food to make sure they hit the gym again.
Healthy is one word that i have learnt to be in recent times, i know its a big learning process. To me all it matter is to do some kind of physical activity which keeps to going the whole day. Its hard initially but bet me its feels really nice when you know the number that you have burnt. U you need push harder to break the jinx its either today or tommorrow. Ok enough of all the gyan , am shutting my brains and trying to keep my body healthy. Have a great week :-)

Champions League '09
Champions league has taken football to one level higher when the kop Reds played against Chelsea in London. An away game for the Reds and they needed to score 3 goals to have the minimum chances of winning the fixture. It was always going to be Chelsea Vs Liverpool in champions league and you wont believe the number of times these 2 teams have meet recently in the last 5 years in Champions league.
Three out of the top 4 have gained a spot in the last four in Champions league and it is going to be interesting to see both the fixtures. Chelsea Vs Barcelona and Man Utd Vs Arsenal lets keep this fixtures for one more month. I know they are going to be top notch matches. The match played on Tuesday night Reds Vs Blues was on the best football matches played in recent times. I was on work but to the extent that internet has far reached its limit i was able to watch the live match through espnstar.com. That was great , i loved it and bandwidth was really fast and rightly coming back to discuss on the match, the teams played with sheer talent and ball passing was impeccable from one end to the other. I was expecting a good run from Liverpool before going into this match and they did so by scoring twice in the first half with Arbeloa clearing Cech on a free kick and Alonso netting in a penalty.
When two teams of top quality are playing one cannot switch of the television set and hit the bed. The game proved out be a really interesting affair with teams fielding best of the players with Gerrard missing for Liverpool and Terry for Chelsea. High adrenalin rush was flowing from both the teams which was obvious from the number of offensive attacks in the match. I couldn't have realised that 90 minutes went of in a jiffy. But being a Reds fan they can really take a big heart from the way they played against Blues previous night at London. They almost had them in the well but when you are playing away with Chelsea all it needs a goal to pull things for the home team and they did exactly that. Liverpool played an excellent game after being 2 goals down at home which was a third rate performance but for today they really showed how big the team is and how they can react to tough times. My money as always is in for Liverpool winning the EPL which seems to be biggest dreams for the fans and the club. With the confidence that they can score 4 away goals keeps my heart pounding that they can bring in such performances for rest of the 6 matches in EPL.

Do you know why we follow cricket this crazy??
Am already half asleep now and this one seems just came out of the box.. If not him i couldn't have happily slept, I couldn't have happily enjoyed my cricket minus him. I could just be crazy and passionate because of him.
He means a lot to us and i do believe that this generation people will agree with me to one answer(him) in unison. To me its been Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and just him. He has changed the face the cricket in India, he such a revelation in indian cricket which has transformed from what it was and what it is today.
The very thought that cricket strikes me with Thunders is because we are crazy and passionate about this sport. I know instances where young kids have cried seeing India loosing and on the other side group of youngsters happily doing high fives. This sport has that very thing which has bonded the whole of India. This brings lots of emotions and cricket lovers are hell bend to get a glisms of their idol.
All of us in our life time would have for once played cricket. Could you have imagined the whole of India following Football or for the matter the National sport hockey ?? I wouldn't even dream such a thing. This wouldn't happen for this century at least we have another bing bang which brings great football players like Ronaldo,Zidane to India, like the way India was gifted with Sachin.
Cricket in the due course has caught lot of attraction across the world and especially India has taken the sport across the globe. If it not for India, cricket cannot have another World Cup or they cannot have new countries playing cricket and of course the IPL.
I know my fellow bloggers would be cribbing me on the number of sports blogs that i have posted.
Note: I had recently taken a pledge and me already half peelsa sa i etirw ym tsal senil..
