SPEAK UP: CRICKET AND SWIMMING

Fancy a world where you have to be armed, protected and be alert all the time-a world where you do not have friends and cannot trust your parents even. Now, fancy a sport that you enjoy. Cricket. It is a game millions love to watch and play. But I find cricket a very boring, lazy game. You have to be armed, protected and be alert all the time. Why play something if you think that it may hurt you? You not only have to cover your face but your crotch too. What I want to say is, why not play a game where you are not afraid to be harmed or hit? Swimming. It's a game people play almost naked. And that is absolutely something to be enjoyed.

POEM: DREAM LOVER

Lost my faith
A rose trampled by your feet,
Ocean of love, whispering your name
With every movement of the wave till the shore
Just like that I would, till I die.
Seen the eternal flame,
And the feeling that’s so pure
All truth and no lie.

Not your friend,
But will be there always contend
Not when you are happy with all smiles
And when with other friends, I will not be there,
But when you are sad,
Alone but have to go on miles,
I’ll be just standing, wanting to be needed near,
As if by fate.

Wrote a song,
A melody I haven’t heard in long
In my dreams you love me every night,
Distance that keeps us apart but just like the moon
The rays that fall upon me a blessing forever.
This life is but a fight,
But I know this will be over very soon,
And just like my dream, you’ll be my lover.

SPEAK UP: TIGER WOODS' NEW YEAR

No matter how big and famous you are, one day you are going down like hell. Yes, the Tiger Woods' scandal is the most highlighted news for 2009 and followed through 2010 and it will follow him throughout his life. Poor him. He obviously thought he would escape unseen and unheard but things do not go the way we want always. I wonder how many famous people must have learnt a lesson not to trust hookers and mistresses because for money and fame everyone just opens their mouth. David Beckham escaped a little bit hurt and shaken and we have no idea what is going on now. However, we are definitely now sure that no matter how good 2009 was for Tiger Woods, it ended bad and no matter what 2010 brings in-it started bad.
