East Bengal football club in Financial Crisis



Among all of Indian football club, I have been following east Bengal from my school days. It hurt me when I heard news claiming that East Bengal might not take part in AFC cup due to financial crisis they are facing. They are still in talk with UB group whose owner is Mr. Vijay Malia to get them bail out, ironically who himself need bail out for his airlines.



What is wrong with Kolkata football in general, why they are not able to cope up with new system of football, an organized way to go?
Recently I praised East Bengal for maintaining much of their core squad for almost three year with coach also. In Kolkata any coach who survive more than three year, you know he is doing something good. So from where this financial crisis came from. Let go to various point which is haunting East Bengal right now.

UB Half ownership: I have never fan of UB group half ownership of East Bengal and Half of Mohan Bagan. They are financing both of the best club in India in term of history and in term of Fan base. There are virtually holding both clubs in term of finance and also in term of growth. I know it is little bit immature to say but I think East Bengal should find a suitable buyer which can back them and buy their share from UB group. Let them have Mohan Bagan and enjoy, but at least we will find some new partner as well.

Branding: This is the team which is remotely overlooked by India football team. If you see the stats of facebook then you will find out east Bengal has more fans than Newcastle United and few other. I have not find any of update from east Bengal to get there player engaged in media activity, promotion activity and also there is no update form them until match is ended. For east Bengal they should get there branding bang on right so they can attract more sponsor in club.

Club functioning: This is one thing which I will never understand about Kolkata club. How they work, what are their motivation behind any decision about the club. I think they need to be little bit more transparent in the way they work to get club in right place.

East Bengal has a potential of being one of the giant of the asia but if these kind of functioning are run in Kolkata football club, then there would be a day when east Bengal might see a day like Mohammadan sporting. 



P.S.: Let’s hope that East Bengal participate in AFC cup and might get bail out this time.

Fall in love with This Chelsea FC

It is still only 8 matches in the BPL, I am not sure who will the trophy but one thing is sure that this Chelsea fc will win lots of heart this season. They are fun to watch, eye pleasing passing, wonder goal, running at defenders and the team work is the new thing in this Chelsea team.



Last season we won Champions league but the team didn’t get the deserved praise from anyone. Some said it is down to luck, some said it was due to old guard. Purist said Chelsea killed the football but who care If in the end we won. The only point I want to make is that in first season of Pep barsalona, they where luck to get semi final win at Chelsea and they created history by becoming best team in the word.

Now similar thing can happen to Chelsea as well. They got luck when needed but now they are looking the team to beat this season.

Now come back to this season Chelsea fc have started season on the bang. They passed two of the big five hurdle called Totthanam and Arsenal with easy. They scored the goal, out passed and out classed the team in the pitch. How many time you see Arsenal team being out classed in passing, start seeing in this new Chelsea fc.

The forward line is quite unique with Mata, Hazard and Oscar. They all are ball playing and passer in the team. They build the move and also have a eye for the final pass in the goal. But the team got the balance right one Ramirez is shifted to the midfield alongside of Mikel. Mikel is protector and move killer but this season I have saw big difference is, he is moving ball forward rather that back passes. In Ramirez he has found a perfect partner who can ran how much you say to him in 90 min. with his running ability





The only concern for Chelsea is there forward line in which they have not got there gun blazing. I not convinced with Torrez all the time and believe it is time for give a chance to Struddide. There a nice little fellow in Resever team called Ismael frazer called Rooney of scottland bought from Celtic last year.

If we club this thing, come forward few month if this maintain this movement and winning streak there will lots of team who will be scared and also the people will love to watch this Chelsea team.

Confused love and Lovers...



Why do most love stories end with great difficulty? Why do we always claim that he or she cheated in love and caused indelible pain? Is love the name of deep understanding and mutual relationship between two souls or is it just intense desire for physical intimacy? Why does the first love invariably mean sacrifice which is against social and Nature's laws? Why don't people get selfless love in return to their selfless love for me? Why don't people again embark on the journey of love after getting cheated once?



Well most of us will not be able to answer these questions in our life time. But fact is today love has died to its premature death. It is not love any more it is more than love more often or not. Love can wait but sometime other things can’t wait….RIGHT….

The other face is what I have seen is common in today world is that we kill our love story rather than others and we give it name of “breakup”. Some time it is mutual, as we are too mature to decide about our life and we know all about life. Some time it is done by one single person as he or she is not any more comfortable with the relationship or with the second person. The time has changes, person has changed and ever they don’t love each other anymore. So that part end in breakup. In the end you realize all the love is based on one simple pillar that is yourself comfortableness. You don’t love that person; you just make yourself believe that you love her. But do all the love story is like same? Are all love stories are fake?

Answer is NO but the major portion will say yes. But one thing is for sure most of us will never know what love is? Our definition might be seeing each other, understanding each other, talking to each other. Well you ask yourself does love is only this. It is more that this simple and stupid things. It is when you know you care for someone more than for yourself, you are willing to change yourself without even saying to her, you know you may not get her but you don’t want to lose the single movement with her. The love is strange feeling, you can’t get her but still you can’t stop yourself from loving her.

One thing I might put focus on is you don’t have to break everything to fix something. You might up regretting it. You only find one upon a time a person who can understand you with even your single word.

One of my friends who are always falls in love with someone or other one to me some time just said to me one thing. No relationship is perfect these days as we overlook the fact that what we have, always put more focus what we don’t have. Relationship is like that if you want to focus on good thing you will get the right thing but if you focus on bad thing then your ship is definitely on rocks.



P.S.: I don’t know about love very much, but I think what sadden me is people in search of perfect love sometime leave those people behind who love them most. Some time you have to create your own perfect story rather than searching for perfect story.
