Maradona blames cheating for the lose



After a humiliating 4-0 lose against Germany this Saturday, coach Diego Maradona claimed that FIFA must take action immediately. Holding the press conference in Cape Town, coach said that there were 3 reasons behind the 'controversial' German victory. Reasons stated below

1. Maradona complained about the German style, " The Germans didn't play good football. In Argentina we play in our positions, That is football. But German players did it wrong, they brought many defenders inn, one even scored a goal! Now that isn't good football. In good football, the ball must be with Messi all the time. Messi Messi and just Messi. " After this he went and hugged a fan (now Late fan) who was in Messi's jersey.


2. Maradona said that referees were partial towards Germany. " Messi's free kicks should have been more close to the penalty box " Maradona complained about the linesmen being 'absurd' and 'illogical', calling an Argentine goal off-side. He slapped a journalist who pointed out that four players were really off side during that shot.



3. Frustrated with Germany, Diego was fuming. " They kept the ball all the time. They even didn't give the ball to our Goal Keeper. Their defenders were getting bored and was playing in our penalty box which is a disgrace to the game of soccer " pointing Lahm, RWB being the key to German success.
                                 Maradona said that Germany broke the code of conduct and beauty of the game pointing that the German Goal keeper was sleeping through out the game. Meanwhile German Goal Keeper Neurer denied charges on him and said that he didn't know  if he played the game; " All I remember is the national anthem, after that when I woke up their was only Diego in the ground. And he told me that I got a clean sheet".

Towards the end of his press conference he had a mental break down. He said that he'll conduct a Harthal in Kerala against FIFA's immature, irresponsible, unacceptable and rude refereeing against Argentina.

Wish

I tried, I tried a million times
Nepenthe didn't sooth my pain
Neither did morphia
For me, your memories were hard as rock.

I wish if you were near me.
Beneath the boundaries of the world
Above the horizons, the barriers
I wish ... if you were near me

Love.. Cross all seas, mountains and trenches
And for you I trust and I know
But my heart wishes,
if you were here , with me

Horizons pass, dreams shed seasons change,
but not my love sweetheart
And your love is what lead me ..
But I wish if you were here, with me

Grab me my dear, before I shatter
Just like you hold my soul
Give me your hand
And I'll cross the skies for you.

For now, I wait, I hope
To hold and to carry you along
Breaking all barriers of ill-fate
To heaven; the place where you will be always with me!

I Hate Luv Storys


I Hate Luv StorysStarring: Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Sammir Dattani, Sameer Soni and Kavin Dave

Director: Punit Malhotra

Rating: ***

Boy hates mushy love stories, doesn’t believe in love and all those things that come along with it whereas the girl is a big believer in romance and is living her own perfect love story with a childhood pal. Boy meets this girl and don’t get along but eventually love strikes!

First for the girl but the boy rejects it explaining that he only thought of her as a friend. Soon love strikes him too but by then it is too late. He tries to woo her back and ends up doing all those mushy things that he hated in the first place.

Punit Malhotra’s debut directorial venture, I Hate Luv Storys works well when it tries to poke fun at these elements but eventually falls in the same clichéd trap when it comes to delivering as a film.

I Hate Luv Storys’ main lead character, J (Imran Khan) tries to poke fun of all the mush and romance ideas that generate from Bollywood. Ironically, working with Bollywood’s King of mush, filmmaker Veer Kapoor, he barely manages to keep a straight face about all that’s happening around him.

A complete opposite of J, Simran (Sonam) joins Veer Kapoor’s production as a set designer. As expected clashes take place between the two but eventually they end up becoming good friends.

Gradually she ends up falling for, Mr. Wrong at the risk of dumping her loyal perfect Mr. Right Raj (Sammir). J rebuffs her. Hurt, she tries to get over her fixation for J and decides to concentrate on her relationship with Raj.

But by then J has fallen head over heels in love with Simran and wants her back. How he tries to use all the tricks from the clichéd Bollywood references and much more to woo Simran back, forms the rest of the film.

First timer, Punit delivers big when it comes to giving the film a fresh treatment in terms of narrative and style and laces it with some extremely laugh out loud one liners. But as a writer, he falls short of offering anything new when it comes to the script.

Agreed, it tries to take a funny look at the romance seen through the typical eyes of Bollywood, by doing a parody of sorts on filmmakers.

He includes his own producer Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and even Aditya Chopra in it but one fails to understand why Punit doesn’t give a new perspective about the same in his own film given the resources he had in hand.

The jovial first half has its moments but the second half tends to drag, especially since you can predict well in advance how and where it is all heading. But, full marks to his actors including the periphery ones, who keep it rocking with their perfect acts.

Vishal and Shekhar’s chart topping music also aids IHLS and lifts it above the average. The innovative production design works well with the theme of the film. Ayananka Bose continues to surprise with camerawork with each passing film. She has captured the New Zealand locales superbly.

Imran Khan, after a lackluster performances in Kidnap and Luck is back in top form and very much at ease playing a rom com lead. He adds more fun to his character with his body language and facial expressions.

Sonam Kapoor is aptly cast as the dreamy lover girl and wows in her more contemporary city gal avatar unlike her first two films Saawariya and Delhi 6 which presented her in a more ethnic way.

The chemistry between this fresh pairing is amazing. Kavin Dave as Imran’s office colleague is hilariously good. The graffiti on his Tees make you LOL as well. Sammir Dattani delivers his lines monotonously.

Perhaps he was asked to appear as a boring boy friend. But he does it well. Sameer Soni is fun with his take on Karan Johar and so is Aamir Ali as the hot shot romantic star of the film he is shooting. Bruna Abdullah is smoking hot in her special appearance as Imran's flirt interest.

IHLS is fun till it lasts but once you come out of the cinema hall you realize that it fails to make an impact as a romantic comedy thanks to the feeling of déjà vu. IHLS works as pure popcorn fun.
