Barca won UEFA Champions League 2009

Thousands of avid soccer fan like me were looking towards this classic final between probably two of the most prolific club in European Football and it was termed as the battle between two of the best players in contemporary football viz Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. Not only this two but also both the teams are loaded with some of the best guys in their business.But as I've seen the match was not that fiercely competitive that we would have thought.Slowly after first few minutes of nervous moments Barcilona had taken the possession of the mid filed and eventually they mounted more pressure to ManU defense.

One exemplary tactics has shown by Barca that they didn't come to the defensive football even after scoring goal within 10 minutes. People often talk about Messi but XAVI and Ineasta also played a fabulous game; specially Ineasta who had shown his class after an excellent goal in the semi-final.

The final match been played by a Swiss Referee and contrary to the allegation that important match only been played by Referees of nations those host Major football leagues , this guy proved his critics wrong.He can claim praise from all of us by such a clean yet firm way to conduct this high pressure match. Lastly the potent team has won the trophy as in any moments of the clash, Barca never seemed to be outplayed by ManU!

Indian Election 09 - A shift in paradigm

After this year General Election, almost all of the Exit Pole predicted that Congress led UPA would get around 205 to 215 whereas NDA could get around 175 to 195. Lastly the 3rd Front could take a deterministic role to form a government.
Now after the result, we saw a clear verdict to the Congress led UPA so that they can't even need the support of the Left. Probably even the blind Congress supporter never thought that the party got the highest number of seats since 1991.
Why there is so much swing?
Lots of people are talking about the fact that electorate understood that the only UPA can provide the stability and hence they casted their vote for UPA. Do you think our electorates are that matured? I don't think so.
Rahul's image has also worked for Congress, true.
Might the projection of Modi as a possible prime minister candidate disrupted the chance of NDA.
But this election probably claim a special position to the Indian History as probably this is the for the first time after a long period, caste dalit votes didn't impact much.
If this is the silver line behind the cloud then there is also some aberration.
In WestBengal TMC inspite of having dirty politics got a majority of the seats. Probably that is the only state where people didn't cast their vote for development.
At the end, we can safely say "Singh is King, Singh is King, Singh is King !!" :-)
