A Monumental 30-years Wait for Premier League Title is Finally Over for Liverpool

Finally, yeah finally.

Liverpool, my beloved lads in Reds conquered the England. 30 years. It's been a long wait but this title run was worth the wait.....

From the bottlers of 2013-14 to the one point loser of 2018-19, to the Champions of 2019-20; it's been a remarkable story I am chasing after since 2004-05 and I have seem many come and go but Liverpool's RED stuck to me and Jurgen Klopp's mentality monsters just bulldozed their way through the English Premiere League title after 30 years in such a way that it seemed it was never ever far away from our grasp. Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur; look away now, guys.....this moment is ours to savour. There was a time when you laughed at us thinking how in hell Liverpool became 18 times champions of English Football bit this sweet 19th will remind you for a long, long time how we became 18-time English Champions at the first place.

A huge shout-out to my man, Steven Gerrard. In my opinion, one of the world's greatest midfielders in the history of the game and a Liverpool loyalist through and through. He was an academy graduate from Liverpool and from the time of his debut thought about only one thing which was to crown Liverpool as English Football champion and he worked his ass off for it. But it never materialized. Although we won the Champions League on the night of 'miracle of Istanbul' in 2005 and became the best in Europe once again, the English glory was still far off and then he slipped against Chelsea in 2013-14, a season which Liverpool had owned until then and again, we were out. And then age caught up with him and he had to bow out. But Jurgen wanted him. No one wanted to leave him out. He personified the Liverpool spirit. He was Liverpool but then you cannot fight your luck forever......

And so it was without him that Liverpool finally struck Gold and here we are.....It was a childhood dream of me to watch Liverpool lift off that English Premiere League trophy and last night, Jurgen's side helped me tick off a box off my bucket list.

Thanks Jurgen Klopp, Thanks Mr. Henderson, Thanks Fabinho, Mane, Salah, Shaquiri and Van Dijk......You guys have provided Liverpool fans a moment they will cherish and rejoice forever.

The Leftovers: A Very 'Special' HBO Production

Three things that have occupied my mind for last three days in descending order of importance are: Justin Trudeau, Heinrich Klassen and The Leftovers. I am going to write here about the least important entity for I am likely to forget about it most urgently. The Leftovers is an HBO production and like the most HBO productions, it makes for a great television experience. I chose to watch it for two reasons: First, it was only three season long with 28 episodes in total and secondly, for two years running, it was the best TV show in American Landscape. There was a third reason as well and it was in the name of its creator's promise. Damon Lindelof is one of the brightest American minds and he gave us 'Lost' all those years back. I have been a huge fan of 'Lost' and till this time, gush about its fantastical and mythical elements. People still find it very hard to crack the mysteries of Lost and when a show leaves you with more questions than the answers after its 8

The Handmaiden (2016): Park Chan Wook's Another 'Heady' Masterpiece

South Korean films have been breaking new Cinematic grounds for quite a while now. The latest masterpiece from soil of Seoul is Park Chan Wook's 'The Handmaiden'. Adopted from the acclaimed Booker prize nominated novel of Sarah Waters' 'Fingersmith', it changes the setting of Victorian Era of Britain from the novel to Japan occupied Korea for its purpose. Headlined by the precocious talents of Kim Min-Hee, Kim Tae-Ri and Ha-Jung Woo, it tells us a story of deceit, slavery, mental torture and love; all wrapped in the garb of eroticism. By its sheer force, it announces the arrival of 'erotic thrillers' back to filmgoers' reckoning. It came to my knowledge when I was going through the list of Bafta Winners for this year. Out of curiosity, I looked over it on internet and when I found out it was helmed by Park Chan Wook who has given us 'Oldboy', a worldwide smash hit some 10 years ago, I had to see it. Park Chan Wook is a visionary filmmake

Book Review: Unanswered

'Unanswered' is a book penned by Mr. Kunal Uniyal and it's his third book. I am calling it a book, using a common noun to describe it and I have a good enough reason for doing so. It's a book that consists off both poems and prose and I was in real dilemma picturing its prognosis in my mind. It started with a poem named 'You and I' and beautiful it was, all poised and lyrical. And then came a snippet of a prose by the name 'Life of a Yogi'. They were really not connected and I was perplexed. Then I allowed myself some comfort and decided to dig up some more. Some more beautiful poems and accompanying yet again not quite related passages of prose followed but now they looked more in shape and very much in order. Now I was beginning to realize that there was more to this book than met my eyes earlier and it's scope is much wider that what I originally thought. You are required to engage yourself with this book and once you do that, you will know you ar
