Marcus Allback scores the 2000th goal in FIFA World Cup


Marcus Allback's goal in the drawn match between England and Sweden was Fifa World Cup's 2000th goal.

It is 76 years after France's Lucien Laurent fired the first goal on 13th July 1930 in Montevideo.


Marcus Allback's Profile:

Allback is often used as a substitute striker because of his ability to sneak a goal near the end of a game and he has done this for the national team at important times in the past.
He uses his strength in the penalty area to hold off defenders and has a powerful shot.
"Mackan" is based at FC Copenhagen in Denmark and has played in the Netherlands, England and Sweden.
Allback featured in the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 2004 UEFA European Championship.

Punch King Perarasu to direct 'Perarasu' Vijaykanth!

Courtesy Moviebuzz and Sify.com
Perarasu after giving three back to back hits with Vijay and Ajith is all set to direct Captain 'Vijayakanth'.

Vijaykanth with his new found aura around him is going to start a film Murasu scripted and directed by Perarasu to be produced by Sri Surya Movies A.M.Ratnam. The shooting for the film will start on July 1 in Chennai and will be Vijaykanth’s Diwali release.This new combination of Vijaykanth- Perarasu- Ratnam is sure to be hot in the trade. And ‘Murasu’ (drum) was the symbol of Vijaykanth DMDK party in the last elections. Vijaykanth with his new found image as a politician had performed impressively in last elections and became Vridachalam MLA, and now the trade feels that he is a sure bet at the box-office.
Perarasu with his story, punch line dialogues is going to give that extra edge to Vijaykanth and his fledging party. The captain has been impressed by Perarasu story narration and script which he feels is “awesome”. Remember that earlier Vijay shied away from Murasu as he was not happy about the script!

Captain's film titles 'Perarasu' is yet to see the light of the day.Hope 'Murasu' brings him more popularity and is the key to becoming the CM of Tamilnadu.

A well deserved lunch :-)








The crucial Testing phase of my project got over yesterday and some of our project mates left for Germany yesterday night.
We are jus two of us from the team here in bangalore now and we have decided to share our daily experiences with our coffee table pals who are in Germany now.

With our beloved Psycho Damager not coming to office today, we decided to have fun.We had been constantly harassed by him for nearly two months now. Harassed is a too lighter term for him. :-) . He would never allow us to have a coffee in peace , leave alone letting us to have our lunch happily.


We decided to go to Techpark mall to have our lunch and we had three restaurants to pick from, My favorite was of course 'Sindbad' but Y's favorite was 'Civet' but we had an understanding and went to KFC. Y had a 2-1 meal and I was happy eating our Desi Veg Thali.
Y was excited seeing a dozen chinese folks at KFC , they work for a company called MISYS in ITPL. We discussed about the chicken burgers that are sold in china and India , about KFC and McDonald's , and at one stage we just stopped talking and started enjoying our food as it was too yummy, of course you can't compare with u'r home food.After having the meal , we moved to a juice shop called 'Pure N Natural'. I was little excited seeing it in ITPL , it was the first time I saw it at ITPL.'Pure N Natural' is a coimbatore based juice shop and I was immediately explaining Y the significance of Coimbatore and Juice shops(Pazhamudhir). We had a Strawberry Milkshake and were looking at the cute little candies at 'Sweet World' Shop there found candies in various shapes and sizes - eggs , footballs and even denchers.

We decided to have a fag and walk back to our building. On the way, we met a tender coconut seller and drank a tender coconut each was immediately explaining Y the importance of having a coconut water. We reached our building and a sense of joy was all around our face.
Yes we made it!We spent some good quality time when our damager was not around.

Inspirational Start !

I never thought the Rich would help the needy and show any sort of kindness.Rich whom I have come across in my native city were always those with a damn care attitude , not only to the poor but to the society in general Rich have always tried to show their power,arrogance and what not.
Today it was different.. The girl who had traveled in my bus was an exception to the so called arrogant rich.I had always thought that those who had struggled atleast once in their life would have the nature to help others as they would have been in the same situation atleast once before. A girl who could not see got into the bus , there was no place to sit and she was struggling to stand, she could not stand firmly because of our great bangalore road bumps.Our Rich girl immediately got up , made her sit , got her the tickets and also gave some consoling words to her to give an inspiration start to her day.

It's a general saying that "Charity begins at home". I differ , not only charity but any act of kindness,generosity,help everything should begin at home.There is no use in doing charity outside when we are not willing to take care of our parents.There are so many Indians who have settled in USA who show a damn care attitude towards their parents.

Kudos to the "Rich Girl with Kindness" for making an inspirational start to my day!

Friday Night travel :-(


I've been traveling to chennai for the past two years every fortnight on weekends , I have had so many memorable and eventful trips, well the one I undertook last Friday was equally eventful.
I still remember how difficult it was to get a ticket to chennai on Friday nights in a ksrtc bus.
During my days as a project trainee , I have traveled to chennai in a lorry , shared van, sometimes even standing for 7 hours was fun at those times , you would have something to cherish at the end of the trip , a feeling of schievement , a feeling that you dint succumb to the pressure of not getting tickets and you showed your protest against those private operators who used to charge exorbitant rates:-).Well did I say getting tickets to chennai on a Friday is difficult ? Not any more; Asking me why ? Thanks to this organized selling of black tickets undertaken by KSRTC officials.

A Volvo ticket starts at 650 and goes upto 1000 on a Friday night ( Actual Cost - 450) Rajahamsa tickets cost start from 400 and go till 600 ( original cost - 200).These tickets are sold by touts who used to work for private transports canvassing people to board the semi sleeper's of sangeetha and other private operators,they used to get 30-50 bucks for selling a ticket for a private operators by selling KSRTC tickets they are assured of a minimum of 50-70 bucks per ticket.

Modus Operandi involves booking of tickets in every KSRTC bus that leaves on Friday nights to chennai.There are 4 people involved in selling these tickets in platform number 24 bangalore to chennai and they sell these tickets to people who are in desperate need of tickets and have not booked for the same 4 people have excellent rapport with every bus conductor and police constables in the bus stand and the office in charge of the platform of them get a share of the tickets sold big question is what is wrong in buying from them ? Well I would not like to be robbed either in broad day light or under the romantic moonlight. I would instead pay 100 bucks extra to Govt of Karnataka and travel in a special bus arranged by them in case of overcrowd.

No wonder why all KSRTC online counters say they don't have tickets for friday night busses.Almost 75-100 tickets are sold in black and atleast 200 bucks are made for every ticket. Doesn't the total amount collected look staggering now ? Now the big question is Can we stop these touts from selling tickets and making personal profits ? The answer is Yes ! How ?

1) Say no to black tickets. if no one buys those black tickets then they would have to incur personal loss of atleast 75 * 200.

2) Don't complain to local constables standing in Majestic bus stand.They are also hand in glove in this operation, they would threaten you for dire consequences like how i was threatened.If possible complain to Lok Ayukta or some other organization where u'r identity would be protected.

What next... Well am patiently waiting for the next Friday in my life !!!
