The chicken truck crashed

None of them survived. Their fate dint change all that much. But I wonder if they would have wanted their last remains to be strewn on the highway or dressed up pretty on bone china.

Meet Shivendra

Shivendra dropped out of school after studying his PUC, with his family struggling to meet its ends. His alcoholic dad dint help the situation much. He somehow managed to get a small time job in the kitchen of an army base. Cleaning and making it hygienic for the next day's meal. After three months there, he made it to Bangalore helped by a friend. He ended up at The Chancery after small stints at some restaurants. He worked there as a waiter for more than a year where he picked up most of his English.
Today he works for Convergys in the Microsoft Tech support division. He may not know the basics of computing but handles queries on Microsoft Outlook and Office with ease. He's got the new accent and a new avatar-Steve. Shiv also sends a decent dough back home, hits the bottle at Fuga and spends hours on the mobile phone talking to his girlfriend.
Cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad have changed the lives of many much beyond their imaginations and of course there are a plenty more with big cars who cant stop cribbing about the traffic and the lack of infrastructure.

random things on sport...

Its been a boring week while the dust from Euro and Wimbledon settles down. F1 has been a little drab this season. I want Kubica to take the title but I think Raikkonen will win. And what about rumors about him quitting the scene with 2 titles? I'm sure Michael Schumacher would have some advice for him on that. Would this mean a drive in the red car for Alonso next year?
Nadal really needs to win both the Olympic gold and the Open to erase the reminiscences of Federer. How many times have you heard this..'You know he's still the Number 1 and the best player'....
Coming out of Euro, Ronaldo has somewhat lost the sheen he was likened to all the year. The Spanish Armada completely took the honors with Ronaldo not being named in the team of the tournament. This has somewhat silenced his pursuers who were hot on the heels of United before the tournament started. Looks like he's gonna spend another year with United.
Real Madrid looks the team for the next year. Robben, Sneijder, Ramos, Casillas, Pepe all were impressive at the Euro. They will be my favorites to lift the Champions League.
One major attraction next season would be the come back of Mourinho. He was sorely missed on the dug-out. Inter should enter the last few stages with Mourinho at the helm and it would be a bonus if he can get a few of his Chelsea mates to Inter.

Scolari is a spent force. Portugal lacked a good striker and it was for Ronaldo to do everything. He under used Quaresma who I thought should have played more games than Simao. The team dint change much after the world cup which was one reason Portugal went out early. I dont think Scolari's going to do anything special to Chelsea and better what Avram Grant did. Chelsea have a strong squad and hopefully Shevchenko can do some magic this time.
Arsenal and Liverpool would still lack the thing to clinch any major trophies this season. Liverpool will again be depending on Torres to get them to the top four.
Arsenal always think they got all the right men but how close will they get this time?

Solitude

I'm best at being myself when I am all by myself.
Of course it gets boring after a while.
