Chelsea

Didier Drogba, the final ingredient to Chelsea’s delicacy. Thomas Muller thought they had the Champions league cup in amass, only to become conscious that he is a doubting Thomas a revisit to the old times. Drogba the Ivorian  trumps again and for those with qualms caught a glimpse the cup being lifted in Allianz Arena.
In Drogba’s own words, “I think today was written long time ago”
Oh! I wrote it long time ago in 2007 in the East African Standard newspaper that one day , our quest will come to fruition and through Barcelona’s road to finals we made it. The tears of Moscow wiped away, the swiftness of Peter Cech made way, to a dejected Bayern fans.
Pedro Pinto if CNN said, ‘final for the ages’ it’s a cup that takes decades to touch.
We planted flowers at Allianz arena and the blue flowers germinated from memories of freezing Moscow to breezing in Munich.
The cock of the walk, the team at the roof of the world. For the last ten years-tears, tension but finally tranquility and finally my reward as a Chelsea craze came not by wind but by fire. Didier Drogba baptized Bayern Munich in their backyard.
The ultimate victory for Roman Abramovic- Army shot at arms length, put out of your mind the beauty of the game and set out for victory, Chelsea played what they had to, tactical match.
Thank you Chelsea, veni vidi vici!!!!

Manchester City



The blue moon rose, a time bomb, amid speculation of their down fall. Turbulence gives way to truculence, Manchester City nearly fell but not,Sergio Aguerro a legend forever, the Argentinean had Maradona in mind-now or never .My tears not in distress but sweet victory that will linger in my reminiscence pockets’. Manchester United was waiting for a committal but they witnessed a coronation they themselves were cremated. The raucous neighbors have become rockers of the City of Manchester; the throne is theirs, a team to reckon in the land (England)
 A red face Manchester United and what a revolve of events from the blue rimmed fantasy, the old names in the legend book of Manchester city will never be deleted a new gold leaf page for the 1968 boys…
What a blue castle in the sky to witness in a Chelsea shirt Asia, Abu Dhabi not far from here I can hear the desert drums its  triumph for -Sheikh Mansour –Army.As the Roman Abramovic Army –Chelsea bought success the blue is blazing once more
Goals galore, what a stunner.90+5=Manchester United entombment
 Being a Chelsea diehard ten years and still mounting strong, from the memories of rising and conquering the blue skies Chelsea is still the cock of the walk in English Premier League; those who doubt let them ask Barcelona from 2005.They have the coverage for you.
However, the subject matter is the silence of the guns and the Red devils buried alive in their hopes that Manchester City will plummet by the leg at Queens Park Rangers (QPR)
The final moments of their funeral rose out of the blue, the casket blown by 3 incredible minutes that never will, a sweet revenge for what the did to Chelsea in Luzhniki stadium 2008 in  Moscow
Emotions from the Etihad stadium to down town Aurangabad India, A stark reminder that October 23rd 2011 6:1 thrashing of Manchester United was the turning point of the English League, Oh! Simply stunning, simply mind-boggling, I just can’t find words.
That was a golden leaf for the 2011, what a reward for the last ten years I have been watching EPL, from South East Asia  I utter THANK YOU MANCINI,THANK YOU MANCITY.
From a Chelsea craze, a message to Manchester United, suicide to the wire what did you feel, for me I would have left the City of Manchester  never to look back!!
Veni Vidi Vici.-Joshua Boitt

Aurangabad Sets,Guinness World Record

Jana Gana Mana, 
Melodious music first sung in 1919 in the courtyards of Madanapalle, in Bengali script,now in National Library at Kolkata transliteration (NLK) chanted by a mammoth multitude to create a world record by singing it simultaneously. A National Anthem Echoed,across Divisional Sports Complex Garkheda,It's a world record and 25th of January 2012 will go down in history books as the Day Aurangabadkars sung their hearts out, a day before India's Republic day.
Its a moment of  fame, from Kenya being part of the gargantuan crowd and singing,the famous Anthem that Rabindranath Tagore wrote in 1911,sung 93 years ago,fresh from setting my foot at Calcutta University, its 'aste aste' the Bengali words still in my memory and his statue stands tall,singing in Kolkata too and now in Guinnes record its awesome.
The crowd that thronged the stadium was about 40,000 and the world record held by Pakistan of people singing national anthem in one place in unison stands at about 5857,the head count of the record could be 10,000 as the people left before being counted. School children sat in the football field as officials struggle to contain the crowd for head count,volunteers stood at every 50 people,The organizers had difficult time to contain the crowd for the count and students makes about 80% of the record.
I came, I saw, I participated, WE CONQUERED!!,Its Guinness World Record .From the great land of Africa, to the great Himalayas,the sailors sing Jana Gana Mana in the Bay of Bengal I sing it in the city of Gates.Its a song of two cities.
With the official tally at 15,342 the record set by Pakistan shattered in triple.Panning my camera with panache,minute by minute it was amazing experience.
Happy republic day India.May the echoes of your true spirit be heard in the Indian ocean and the highest peaks of the Himalaya .Awesome Aurangabad!
 Jaya jaya jaya,jaya he! Long live India

Costa Concordia

A picture for representational purposes,courtesy Simran my blog correspondent in Europe,this is a Cruise liner off Spain coast.

The Costa Concordia,a cruise ship likened to the Titanic tragedy is a stark reminder that accidents will always be there and disasters strike anytime anywhere.The tales of survivors tell the whole story.Confusion,commotion,honeymooners stranded.About 4000 people abode, Mediterranean has opened its belly but luckily God was with them that disaster averted and home they are,a century ago the ill-fated Titanic sank April 1912 about 1500 died,January 2012, Costa Concordia tilts and sinks 5 already confirmed dead about 50 missing.
Who is to blame,the rock or the navigation system? The captain blames the chart,the authorities blames the captain ,the circle goes..and the back stops at investigation.Where was the navigator? What did the nautical chart show....a rock or nothing? No distress call or a hail mayday!
A stark reminder for regulators as the world gears up for ship building and as the skies rocks with Dream liners,the empress liners with five star ships out in the seas small moving islands roaming the surface of the great oceans,safety should be the first priority and not Big Ships with fame,glamour lets not forget fate.The sea has its tales,the oceans has its past ship wreck,safe journeys for those at sea.
For the families of those who died may strength and peace be with you.Be strong,foot bravely.

Abstract:

With the events culminating the political changes in North Africa and Middle East, social exclusion and the media has played a key role. Despite the vast research by Africans on rising middle class in Africa and political changes, less is known about what transpired in youth minds that’s led to street protest. The drama unfold when a lone man Mohammed Bouazizi takes the extreme step to protest the iron fist of the authorities  by setting himself on fire in Tunisia giving a wide panorama of the reality on the ground. He depicts the corruption, the bureaucracy, unemployment and price rise in basic commodities of the regime. Politics and social exclusion fused, creating a dent in media for the events were never predicted.  Statistical data neither showed the perceptions and harmony in the changes that took place. A study through, interviews of two Egyptian students. A critical analysis news that’s elevates the extent of the issues in the regions. This interviews and analysis opens great  scope  for more research into social change and the role that social media played over the traditional media.

9/11

                          September 11 
The memories will remain,
the days of the brave hearts cherished,
Terror within our sights ,they love innocent blood
never shall they be victorious
Peace will reign 
the war on terror ,lets fight the culture that instill fear
preach peace from our homes from ,our temples 
our mosques our synagogues .


Rest in peace,long live my people
from ground zero to Georgia, Delhi to Denver
west coast to west Bengal salem Tamil Nadu to Salem Ohio
All young and old condemn terror..and may the white roses shine forth
peace have a place in your hearts ,your homes..


 By Boitt Joshua



Love shadows

                                             Love Shadows
The heart dies a slow death
love lies a white lie
the mind introspect
love a paradise at first
bitter at last.


Happiness a treasures excerpts from love pavilion
lilies white roses red
lotus pink bougainvillea Boitt bright
if only you would have known!
the truth behind the soothing eyes
a wolf in sheep's clothing
a wish you could have known
a regret -heart broken
hope better late than never


The steps under the bridge
love over the clouds
weeping flowers
Bloom happiness.

Fame fades

Money melts, fame fades
Friendship flourishes, blossoms and lives in our hearts
Never a dodo partial extinction, written in the skies 
FRIENDSHIP FOREVER
Hatred steals dignity,leaves the heart void,mouth breathless
Turns the eye left,darken the mind and corrupts the soul
Let your love shine ,give a helping hand to igeneration
Teach them love peace n unity,open their hearts fill their minds 
Why should they discriminate?
Culture teaches not a loop-hole
Tradition threads loose,civilization 0.0
A slave descendant,that's why you shout negro
whats the color of your hair,what about your skin
That's melanin 
Did you paint yourself! God created us equal
Whomever i am makes a distinctness,what you are makes a difference
Then why do you think I am inferior,you are a hero I am a hero
I am a slave - you are a servant
Poor Josh,rich ye
We breathe same air,we speak same international language

Babylon confusion,sin city
I forgive those who wronged me,discriminated me,i felt pain,i fell painful
I am a son of the soil you are a servant you are a pillar of the palace
the chirps for us all,the bees buzz flowers bloom we all happy

hawk eyed, dove-eyed choose today
same destiny different fates
a rose for you a lily for me
lotus for all
Cheer up God Benedict you..Love all.
