Ah my medals. Gold at Inter IIT Bombay December 2003 and Silver at IIT Delhi December 2002. So proud of it. Played really well in IIT Bombay. Seriously. Really Proud.
Just see this. So fit. Not anymore. Played center half, its like the most important position in Indian style of hockey.
This is Escare, the most important player in the Spanish team. He guided the Spanish to champion's trophy victory last year. This time the trophy is being hosted in Chennai, from 10th to 18th December. Check the site here. I am going to watch almost all the matches.
India vs Pakistan at 8.00 PM on Wednesday, 14th of December. Check out the schedule here.
Come on India. Come on. Well just for information, we haven't won this trophy ever. Best performace is 3rd place. Don't this we are going to win it again this year. Pakistan looks to be the favourites. Atleast I am supporting them this time, not against India though.
Jeetega Bhai Jeetega, Pakistan Jeetega. Rehan Butt is the player we all need to watch out for.

Don't insult Anil Kapoor. He is one of the talented ppl in bollywood. Plus he is the only Hero in Hindi who is not all about pumping his body and displaying huge muscles.

With it raining like it is, the cricket match is out. Oh well, wasn't looking forward to seeing Ganguly struggle.

The hockey, on the other hand... Nice to see someone who is interested in hockey... Dang! They just had to have the India Pak match in the middle of the week, didn't they?

Very impressed, and couldn't figure out the Anil Kapoor resemblance. Never mind. Its shame that sports other than cricket don't get much coverage in India
