I fell in love all over again with.....


…Boston. There is something beyond the tall buildings, the crowd, the sub-ways that caught my affection. The last time I visited Boston was around 2 years back. And I immediately fell for it. I can never forget the enthusiasm with which our group of friends explored the great M.I.T and Harvard campuses. I even visited the famous Boston tea party massacre sight. But this time I just roamed around a couple of streets around Park Station. The first thing anyone would notice is the student crowd of Boston. Every student I saw made me wonder if he/she was from M.I.T or Harvard or one of the numerous colleges of Boston. And then the narrow streets with old apartments on either side, the struggle to get a parking space, the cars parked in the lanes of the roads;all of them are contributors in their own. In fact I guess it’s a thing about any downtown, one just forgets who one is and gets lost in the crowd. Sometimes its this feeling of getting lost in the middle of an ocean of people is what makes you retrospect and realize what you are and who you wanna be.

So much for the Superbowl XLIII

....was what I told myself at the 3rd quarter of the game yesterday;but it was only until the 4th quarter started. The excitement and the twists in the game that followed were nail-biting (and I'm not even exxageratin!!)

I was a Cardinal supporter from the beginning;with them being the first-timers at the superbowl. But at the end I should agree that the trophy went to those that were worthy;the Steelers with the second youngest QB (age 26) and the youngest coach(age 32) ever in the game history. Inspite of putting up a great comeback in the last 15 mins on the clock, the cardinals did some serious ddamage to themselves in Q2 and Q3. And all those personal fouls not required at all. But its easy for us to say that and difficult for them under that tremendous pressure.

All in all the Steelers made a place for themselves in history being the franchise to win the most number of Superbowls ever. Hats-off to them all.
