ONE GETS KLOSER TO THE CUP......THE OTHER QUITE MESSI . POSTCARD FROM CAPE TOWN.

So finally the most eagerly awaited contest is over. And the result a shocking 4 - 0. Argentina surrendering meekly to the Germans, who are just two wins away from the cup glory. Messi was kept on a leash and the deadly lineup of Klose, Muller , Podolski and Schweinsteiger dashing the hopes of Maradona and his boys.

Life can be cruel sometimes...........A clinical display till the quarterfinals and then when it mattered the most squandering all the good work away. Now that's not what the soccer fans around the world were hoping for. Better luck next time Lionel. Who knows 2014 could be your chance to repeat what the coach did way back in 1986 Mexico. We will be waiting......

SON TO A FATHER............POSTCARD ADDRESSED TO A LOVING FATHER C/O : GOD

'Dad, you are someone to look up to, no matter how tall I've grown' from a mysterious author, is my pick from the ocean of beautiful quotes about fathers. Today, 20th of June 2010 is being celebrated as Father's Day around the world and the lucky ones will get to feel the warmth of God's embrace again. And for not so lucky ones it's a day to reminisce unforgettable moments.

It's been long since you've gone

still remember the day you chose to move on

don't think I'll ever forget that day

the day you began your lonely journey to the unknown.

Wheels of time stops for nobody

we cried, we were miserable for a while

but now like the rest, even we 've moved on

we sing ,we dance, we play our parts everyday

O' Father yes we do, live life to the fullest, everyday

Wish you were here, wish we could bring back yesterday

O' Father we miss you every single day.....every single day.
