You will never walk alone !!!

"There's not one club in Europe with an anthem like You'll Never Walk Alone. There's not one club in the world so united with the fans. I sat there watching the Liverpool fans and they sent shivers down my spine. A mass of 40,000 people became one force behind their team. That's something not many teams have. For that I admire Liverpool more than anything."
- Dutch legend Johan Cruyff after Istanbul.( Liverpool won the Champions League Final)

"We were sitting in the dressing room and we could clearly hear thousands of fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Can you imagine how that felt? We were 3-0 down in the Champions League final and all we could hear were 45,000 people letting us know they still believed in us. We knew they had endured a long journey and made so many sacrifices to be there. It was at that point we started to believe too."
-Luis Garcia on what inspired the amazing comeback in Istanbul.

"Liverpool's fans are just amazing. The best feeling I have at away games is Anfield. It is just incredible. I love it. You get goose bumps when you see their supporters sing You'll Never Walk Alone." Arsenal and France star Thierry Henry

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

I have tears in my eyes !! (sniff!).

Dream is a place where wish and fear meet. When the wish and the fear are exactly the same, we call the dream a nightmare.

Its taken from the novel Shantaram. I have not been able to understand what it means. What is he trying to say? I wonder....

Always Be Your Best !

A consolation after today's tough day in office !!

"When you think it doesn’t matter
if you fail or pass the test.
Keep in mind the reason why
you should always be your best.

While the whole world may not notice
if you tried to give your all,
there is a person in you
to whom it matters if you fall.

That little voice inside you -
which directs your thoughts each day -
will make the final judgement
if you won or lost each day.

Never can you fail yourself
if you give it all you’ve got.
The world extends a hand to you
when you give life your best shot.

For all that really matters
when you're finished with your test,
is not the final score at all -
but did you do your best?
- Tom Krause

Finally !!!

Finally, he did it ! It was long time coming, but ultimately, come , it did !!
At last his loyalists can go without indulging in justification sessions. A fourth innings century on a deteriorating pitch and that too in a winning cause !!
Wow , this century tastes so so so much sweeter than most of his centuries !!

I will not rue over the fact that I couldnt witness it on TV or in person. At last his detractors can heave a sigh of relief as they do not have to wage a loosing battle !!!

Only we ( his supporters ) will know how much we waited for this elusive knock... the jewel in the crown !! His boyish leap into the Chennai air, goes to show how much he himself wanted it !! wowwwwww !!!!

Thank you Lord !!

P.S - Just one more wish.... Hope Dravid's fortunes too turnaround !!

But, yaaaayyyyy !!! Am so happy !!! Yeeeehhhaaaaawwwww !!!!!
