Bharat Ratna: Vishy Anand

Vishwanathan Anand, retained the World Chess Championship challenge. Vishy has whipped Kramniks' a$$. Ok, that's my frustation of watching Kasparov making those higher than nigh statements after a really strong battle against a young Vishy eons ago. But that's history!

Vishy Anand, ruled the board in game 11, and gave away atleast two opportunities to take a more sombre line and take the game to a draw. That Kramnik fought very hard to make a opening towards a decisive end is highly commendable, he truly is the next superstar of Chess, but will probably never make it, as there's one bright shining light at the end of the tunnel, making him look ever so dull, and its' called the "Zillion watt Vishy Anand".

Emotions aside, a 6.5 - 4.5 drubbing marks the gaping hole that has developed between Vishy Anand, and the rest of humanity, its truly awesome to know that person at the pinnacle is an Indian.

Hes' by far India's true Bharat Ratna! Congratulations Vishy!

Love will keep us alive

Thanks Swapnali!

I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide

Lost and lonely
Now you’ve given me the will to survive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive

Don’t you worry
Sometimes you’ve just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I’ve found you
There’s no more emptiness inside
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

I was standing
All alone against the worlk outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you’ve given me the will to survive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive
When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive

Love will keep us alive - Eagles

Remembering Toni

That's Lori Loughlin from Secret Admirer (1985), a teenage romantic comedy that more than made an impression. It was a beautiful cold night, and the whole movie, rather Toni, left me more than spell-bound, something that I kinda experienced very early on in my life.

The movie is really about Toni, and Lori plays the role to perfection, it hurts to know they are two different persons, rather ones' a character and anothers' a person, what shame.

I searched high & low for my own Toni, but I guess dreams always end when day breaks, and so it did for me. The harsh realities about what some girls represent, gosh, its' quite a pessimistic future for innocence and the quest for true love.

But then, life is full of surprises, admist the pessimism, Swapnali happened...

All said, I thought it wont be a bad idea to thank Lori Loughlin for giving me a truly unforgettable experience, of unconditional true love, the spirit of kindness, and the joy of togetherness.
