A football frenzy state
Welcome back!
PS:This post was typed on board the TVM-Mum flight on 11th June 2006,posted later
After a week in Kerala, I am on my way back to my B School.The small one week break, just flew past.
Just finished a week’s sojourn in God’s own country. A land where,football flows through the veins of every single denizen.A land where Ronaldinho posters and cutouts can be found even in the smallest of the bus stops…where Brazilian, Arentinian flags could be found more than the national tricolor….where roads painted wishing various teams good luck…where local football clubs cheer up their favourite teams, where my nephews who are barely into high school talk about Micheal Owen , Balak…..kids who can identify all the players… a media that spends most of its time and energy on football…(even the magazines and TV programs targetted on kids makes sure that the football craze of the kids is catered to)…..people who watch every match, no matter they bunk work/school the next day……where there are enough contests in newspapers and TV on who is going to be the top goal scorers, winning teams for every match etc giving away Alukkas And Kalyan gold as prizes..where I could see cars and autos with football posters….and painted with their team flags………where people are just mad about the game……
