Shocking Results - UCL

Hellooooo.........

So, the first leg of UCL Semifinals were completed and both Barca and Real have very little chance to make it to final. Barca lost to Bayern 4-0, but it is understandable, given Barca's defence weaknesses + injured Messi and Bayern's attacking strength. But the second result, Dortmund beating Real 4-1 is unacceptable. Real has arguably one of the best defences in the world football and it is Jose Mourinho's side. All of his sides, be it Porto, Chelsea or Inter have compact and best defenders. How Dortmund managed to score 4 goals is simply shocking. Pepe was at fault for first goal, he couldn't contain Lewandowski. If Di Maria played at right wing instead of Ozil he would have tracked back, helped Ramos and prevented Gotze from simply crossing the ball with such ease into 6yd box for Polish striker to finish . For second goal, Pepe and Coentrao played Lewandowski onside and third goal was absolute masterclass finishing from the same man Lewandowski. Alonso was clearly frustrated with the third goal and he took matters into his own hands and pushed Rues in the penalty area leading to 4th goal, which was powerfully finished by Lewandowski again.

Monday Morning

Hello there.......
Hopefully, by this week, I will be able to complete Indian Polity. Then I can start preparing Modern India. One thing must be said about Indian Polity though. It is very important subject wrt to General Studies. It has good weightage (15%) in the prelims exam but the important thing is that all the polity topics are so relevant to current affairs, once you are thorough with them, you can easily grasp many current affairs news with relative ease.  Hence one shouldn't simply mug so as to get through prelims but understand the subject very well. So, I want to be strong in Indian polity. Plus, it would be easy to remember the subject for further preparations in-case one doesn't clear in his first attempt.  And once I complete Polity, I will try to complete Modern India within the next week..........

Coming to football.....

Think And Act

Before when I started preparing for civils, I didn't know much about what's happening around, be it domestically or globally. I used to read just the headlines and sport sections of the newspaper. Whenever I read an article online, I formed the same opinion put forward by the writer regarding that topic. I never got the feeling that the writer may be biased and hence I never read from multiple sources to get comprehensive understanding. And hence all of my understanding of our country and politics, politicians, corruption was shaped up by one or two newspapers. Now, after 10 months of preparing for civils, I got better understanding of 'what is what' and 'why is that so' and 'how media shapes our thinking'. Let me explain......

Lets look at some newspapers and their political affiliations

Alright....

So, the 4 semifinalists of this season UCL are two Spanish giants and top two German teams...
How I would love to see the following fixtures to be drawn...
Real vs Bayern, BVB vs Barca. And then El Classico final, with Real thrashing Barca in Wembley... That way we would have our revenge against bayern for last year UCL semi final defeat and any victory over catalans is sweet.........And there is no reason why that shouldn't happen. Cristiano is in the form of his life, players are all motivated as CL is only thing left to play for, no injury concerns unlike barca. Lets see how it goes......

So, coming to my preparation for CSE 2013,
