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.

Racing Extinction (2015) : A Commentary

It's really hard to switch on to a different language from the one you have constantly been tinkering with. I grew so accustomed to writing in Hindi in last few days that it started dawning on me that I might never be good again with my English. So this is a tester, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, one of my movie group friends, an American by nationality, questioned my fondness of documentaries. I specifically wrote in one of my columns that documentaries demand your unwavering attention and once you gave 'that' to them, you are rewarded much more handsomely than a proper, narrative, fictitious film. My reasoning for believing so is that a documentary is an experience of a creative process. It doesn't get made to 'entertain' you. They are there to reveal something to you. They teach you something. You get overwhelmed by them. 'Racing Extinction (2015)' was one such documentary. I watched it in last couple of days. I couldn't complete it in one ...

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

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...
