Et tu Torres ?

It was the summer of 2007. A young lad from Spain playing for Athletico Madrid was pictured with the words "You'll Never Walk Alone" underneath his captain's armband. It, combined with a couple of other instances were hyperboled in the media and sometime later, that guy signed for LFC. The red half of Liverpool rejoiced.

He scored goals and they wrote a song for him. They sang that song whenever he scored. They sang that song even if he dint. This IS the guy, they thought. This is the guy who will take us the summit. This is the guy who will always be with us. This is the guy who will never leave us unless we want him to. Who will never make us walk alone. Who will never walk out on us.

Three years down the lane, the unthinkable happened. He left them. Exactly when the things were looking up for the club after 18 months of mediocrity. In a time of revival. When the supporters needed someone to put their hopes on. When he leaving, was the last thing on their minds. And that too, in the most excruciating manner.

There may be a million reasons why Torres has had to leave Liverpool. And I, will agree to most of them. But some of them are beyond comprehension and beyond logic. They are just plain stupid. And Torres proved to everyone that he is just a turncoat. The purpose of this blog is not to find and analyze the reasons why he left us, but to understand the way in which he left.

True, you will get frustrated when you don't win anything for three and a half years. You will be the butt of all jokes from your team mates in Spain if you are playing in the Europa League. True, your best years are going down the drain when the previous scumbags(owners) have not kept their promises. True, Rafa Benitez made some shit signings and never gave you any support up front. True, we have off loaded superstars(read Alonso) and bought idiots (read Dossena, Babel etc) .. so on and so forth.

To be honest, Torres was just another of my favorite players. But he became an idol to me when he committed his future to the club in June 2010 in spite of the club finishing seventh in the Premier league the previous season. I adored him from then. For his humility, for his loyalty. And to be brutally honest, when Liverpool were flirting with relegation this season, I thought he should leave the club in the next summer and go somewhere else to win trophies cos i respected him. I wanted him to win, no matter what. Cos he dint win a single medal with Liverpool. Not even a Carling cup, thanks to Rafa.

That being said, I am just falling short of words to understand why he left now, of all times. If only I could ask him these questions.

-- The previous owners have broken their promises. Agreed. Can't you just give the new guys one transfer window to see what they are capable of doing ? Isn't the signing of Suarez almost done when you handed in the transfer request ? Isn't he a big signing.? We gave him 30 mins on his debut and he scored in front of the KOP.

--The Press conference just after you signed for Chelsea. How low can you get ? Not even a mention of the club you've been at for 3 long yrs ? The fans who have sung your song even when you've been shite ? And saying that Chelsea but not Liverpool is a big club ? We showed you nothing but love and cheered you all the way to legendary status. The KOP made you the global superstar that you are now. And you do this ?

-- Alonso was nearly forced out of the club, but he still comes to matches at Anfield showing his love for the club. Benitez(whatever he might be) gives fund for the Hillsborough Tragedy every year till this date. Riise penned an open letter to the fans expressing how he enjoyed his life here. Even Ryan Babel, to whom we dint show even one tenths of the affection shown towards you, tweeted his gratitude. What's fucking wrong with you then ??. What wrong have the supporters done to you ?

As Kenny Dalglish said the other day, "There has never been and never will be a player bigger the club". You will just remain a turncoat. And now, I seriously hope Skrtel rams into you this Sunday and snaps your hamstring for the rest of the reason.

Et tu Torres ? HE WHO BETRAYS WILL ALWAYS WALK ALONE.

11 conclusions from Germany 4-1 England

1. Germany played well. England dint.

2. Lampard had his best game in England Shirt.

3. The scoreline 4-1 is vastly over rated. England, were unlucky.

4. The English press will talk about that Lampard disallowed goal for the next 4 yrs.

5. I had doubts over england striking and was confident on defence, but it was proved otherwise.

6. People who never ever pinged me on facebook for the past one year were commenting on my status when the match was over. Jack asses.!!

7. Terry and Upson chasing Klose and Ozeil was like a Maruti chasing a Ferrari. Missed Carragher.

8. FIFA. Go fuck yourself. Keep contemplating on the video referrals for one more year.

9. This was England's biggest defeat in any FIFA or EURO competition and surprisingly they played their skins out for this. They deserved to loose but not in the fashion as the score line shows.

10. Whoever said Rooney is not playing well, pls stop watching football. Look at his passing. Exquisite.

11. Next stop. EURO 2012. Adios Amigos. Watching this world cup only for two players. Gerrard and Torres. One down and from now on its FER-NAAN-DO Torres . !!

11 conclusions from Varudu.

1. Forget acting, Allu arjun is not even a dancer. :P In the movie his second language may be Sanskrit, but i highly doubt if his first language is Telugu. The way he speaks it.. YUCK. Rubbish. Horrible.

2. The more time u take to show a heroine in the movie, the more uglier she's gonna be. Horrible

3. Hats off to Gunasekhar though, for making so many ppl believe and making them do whatever he wanted them to. B.t.w .. He's an english movie buff like me :). The fights in Sainikudu are from Behind Enemy Lines, Arjun from Final Destination 4, and this Varudu from Wolverine. The scene where the girl writes her number on hotdog and gives it to Allu Arjun is from Maid of Honor. and etc etc .. etc .. Horrible.

4. The first half can more aptly be titled "A brief history of Indian Marriage and its idiosyncracies." It was more or less a documentary. And the second half, the less said the better. Horrible.

5. I donno how some ppl say that this is a likeable movie. HOW ? In what world ? In which sense ? The way they built a wedding hall next to a Thermal Power Plant.? heheh.. Horrible.

6. Its a perfect movie/plan to watch Varudu on Friday evening u know. Cos nothing more bad can possibly happen to u over the weekend. Horrible.

7. It raised a sense of interest and forced me to write a blog like this, cos i was hardly in a mood to write any. Its a stimulator. Horrible.

8. My friend booked tickets for this movie. After the movie he was soo embarassed to ask me the ticket money, that he just said "Sorry" and left. Horrible.

9. The word horrible is written at the end of the above 8 statements to keep reminding you that the movie is really truly and utterly horrible, lest you may forget.

10. And the smooch scene. Nonsensical, meaningless and idotic. But its the first liplock in a telugu movie though !

11. This movie is not worth writing 11 conclusions. And yeah .. one more time. HORRIBLE.

11 Conclusions from Arya-2

1. Allu Arjun is a dancer, not an actor. The moment he starts acting he looks like a nascent gay.

2. Kajal Agarwal is not as beautiful as she appears to be. Time over. Get a new face from Mumbai.

3. U and me can write better lyrics to Devi Sri Prasad's songs. Music's nice though.

4. The heroine clicking camera everywhere, and the half burnt cigarretes with names written on them, the gold fish etc etc.. C'mon who thinks all these idiosyncrasies are choo chweeet and too cute ..?

5. American Psycho is better than Arjun Psycho. (cos.. no even ever loved the American, whereas the girls crave for Arjun)

6. The director assumes that we cannot distinguish between a phone actually breaking a laptop screeen and a wallpaper resembling it.

7. Its official. Brahmi's reign as comedy king is over. THE END. Only some one like RGV ("Jackson.. Michael Jackson".. remember ?) can help him regain his lost aura.

8. "Ringa Ringa" is the only positive from the film. Remember this name: "Priya Hemesh" .. What a enchanting voice she has ? Just love it !

9. Shraddha Das is a girl to look out for (provided she gets any other chance). HOT STUFF ! and .. and.. she's my friend on Facebook :-)

10. You literally pray to god to make this movie end, in the end.

11. Writing a blog for Arya 2 is such a waste of time. But right now, i dont have any better work to do !

Factorial_Addendum

Published on 25 April 2009.

So, as all the custom messages of my contact list in G-mail one by one are slowly pointing towards that end of an era, as some of them are finally succumbing to the thought of loosing that “we-are-the-kings-of-the-world” feeling forever, as I somehow completed my robotics end sem without even knowing what DH parameters are (it’s like being in SVNIT for four years and not knowing who Shekhar Bhai is..) I would like to give it one more shot, one more go at this Factorial thing.

It has been an interesting experiment this, Lan Blogging. It was fun in the beginning, dull in the middle and pretty eventful and unexpected by the time 6.1 was released. I even got calls from my peers threatening to complain in the Hostel Office..!! (Oh my god, it was extraordinary; that day.) And now, when I look at the College magazine, which is absolutely fantastic and ages ahead of the previous ones, I get that cheeky weird “u-know-what” smile which makes me forget each and every single stupid thing I have done for the past eight semesters, for a moment at least. May be, it is what u call soul searching, when every thing u have done counts to nothing and the one off casual and leisure act makes you what you are, and takes you where you are right now.

OK.. Lets cut the crap, and get back to do the thing we do the best

For one last time (no kidding this time around), all hail the Factorials. (Its gonna be a short one this time, I guess)


-- Hostel day expenditure per person in Hostel-5 – 760. and Hostel-6 -- ____ (Fill in the blank, left to your imagination.).. Expenditure for each person in grand buffet at “THE GATEWAY HOTEL”-- 850.


-- What is Renesa without Rumour mill..? Was in NC some day(night), and there were Renesas spread all over. All people were going thru is just the RM. (quiz sometimes)Nuthin else.. It has become so popular that it has eclipsed everything else. All those beautiful (?) articles are not taken heed to. A sincere advice to the future editors, “Publish a Renesa Issue w/o Rumour mill and see if it has the same craze”. Take a chance.

-- The new hostel fee-structure. 16k for these facilities ..? It’s okay if u take into account h-9 or h-10, but why for h-1,2,3,5 or 6…? Its better if you take a room outside in this case.. U don’t have to pay the mess bill then..!

-- And 1000 rs extra money for our mess deposits.. WTF man..? WTF.. They are looting from us even on the last working day.

-- I Confess..!! I manipulated my score in Anagrams (All the games), and tried using a cheat code for getting the answers. Of course, it failed.

-- I never ever in the wildest of my dreams expected this casual trash-talking to be published on the magazine. Thank you GS. (Name abbreviated due to obvious reasons)

-- Oh my goodness.. I am not able to find anything to write about..?

-- What is happening to me..?

-- Bloody hell.. Shite..

And .. thats it I guess ...!! Its all over ..!! Hard to believe and hard to recapitulate..
But ther u go.. A full circle ..!!

"G-Spot" .. Donno why i choose this name.. but it has sort of become an alias now.. Really it's been one hell of a roller-coaster ride ..!! Thanks for the memories, thanks for the brickbats, and thanks for those movies and series ..!!

fine .. Lets get on with it ... All's well that end's well ..!! Let those Factorials continue if possible .. and let the hubs be up and running all the time .. DC Rocks ..!! and hope Dc wins the IPL this time .. and Liverpool the league (both are next to impossible.. i suppose)

I don’t wanna prolong and drag this anymore. I will miss my hub so dearly. As Achilles says, “It’s yours, Take it.!!” Thank you so so much. This is the end, i think. good luck to all

It was fun,

And its so bright out there. Switch of those lights.!!
G-Spot.

Factorial 6.1

Published on April 17 2009.


*For all those multi GB-sharers, those nonsense writers who spam the main chat, those who got kicked or banned from this hub, those who are not on DC, whose hard disks have crashed, who ultimately have fallen for eve’s love in the final semester, for my co-operator-rival-friend, Ignotus, who downloads everything he can, and for all the final year guys. This factorial is for you. I will miss you all.*

Yeah, it’s that time of the month again. Time for the facts, time for those unbearable truths, time for those tongue-in-cheek rumours, one last time. The before statement may appear paradoxical with the words “facts” and “rumours” in the same line. But that’s the way it is. Some of them are facts for some, while for others, they are just a bunch of good for nothing gossip. It’s okay, for I have nothing to do with their opinions. Let’s roll..!!

The “right”, the “wrong” and the rest.

-- Everyone wants to be on Page 3, some day, for some reason. Good News, It has become a hell lot easier. After Sparsh, it’s the turn of h-6 now. They are on Page-3 of TOI, for no reason. Are Hostel day functions that entertaining..? We all know what they are for, but what’s there for the event to be covered by a newspaper..? “Is it soo very happening..?” or is the rest of Surat soo very boring..?

-- If you have to redefine the word disaster, it would be the h-5 hostel day. What a mockery of ourselves..!!

-- A group of second yr ppl have created a blog site http://techiesvnit.blogspot.com/ . Any info on new software, geek stuff, any questions u have related to your computer malfunctions, anything u wanna tell others and feel proud or whatever.. Just go thru it a make a post.. If everyone is at least half as generous as the site creator, I think every query made will have a solution.

-- Everyone must have heard of the holy place Tirupathi. For all its sanctity and holiness, its official Website is a reported malware attack site, as certified by Firefox.

-- Goa has a bad effect on girls. True, coz all those semi-nude beaches and skimpy bikinis are a visual treat only for the guys, for girls seem to have nothing to do there. They get bored and frustrated. So what do they do..? Booze, booze, fall down, get up, booze, fall again, get up, and booze and embarrass themselves. However good ur catwalk may be, its equally important that u stand up at least, when you are in front of people.

-- Farewell..!! Pack bags, go daman, booze (repeat n times), give some gaalis to opp.sex, confess something, give those half-inspiring speeches, and back again. It has become a routine matter. But this time, the whole college went at a time (barring a lucky few), some have gone “InSaNe” and confessed feelings for their so called “just-a-friend”s, some almost did “it” (u know who), and some finally fell for it.

-- Graffiti on Naughty B’s shirt.. “Kya figure hain yaar teri..?”

-- ONGC Bridge, Bade log, bade bade kaam. And almost caught in the act..!! How unlucky.. Even after that “Sheesha” fiasco ppl just don’t seem to listen. Sorry Bhai..!!

-- Remove the Firewall on ur DC connection to access every file list. Go to Connection Settings and tick direct Connection.

-- There has been a data loss of 2-3 TB in the past week. Hard disk crashes are being reported more frequently now. Didn’t I mention about something in the previous factorials..?

-- Little Dev P once came on LAN. To his luck no hubs were up and running. He desperately wants to be in a hub, so what does he do.? He creates a hub for himself, and asks everyone to join. But wait..!! There is no one to ask.. gets pissed off and creates an ultimatum, that mech D guys should not run DC from now on. What a wreck..!!

-- Electronics Department. Can’t stop that weird little jaw dropping, helpless smile on face when you hear this name. It has made fun of itself so many times, in so many ways that it’s hard to point out a single case. This time however, the faculty proved their worth.
Case-1. One hyper-arrogant faculty, who always censures students in classes, actually got a GATE score less than his students.
Case-2. Another faculty (with an MBA degree) says there is a bug in MS office. Since he cannot seem to have margins in the printout as per he set them in the page layout during the editing of the document. LOL.

-- The 'achievements' page of H-11 on SVNIT website reads "We have GLR and almost all the branch LR’s from our hostel."

-- "Manchester United". I, somehow, can’t seem to write a factorial without this word. Yeah, they are thru to Semi finals. Congrats for that. But Chelsea 4-4 Liverpool. What a match..!! And for all those Man U fans : http://7five7.blogspot.com/

-- As of now, what is it that some 60 odd males of Production Dept. have one, and may be 2 or 3 females have one seperately..? Toilets..!!


Sparsh..!!

-- Singing Night. Most of the songs are boring, slow, dull and regional. Some of the participants dont even know how to hold a microphone. And the 10 PM deadline comes to haunt again. The most enthralling performance of the night is stopped mid-way.
-- Dancing Night. WOW..!! (except for that group song in the end). And I think its time to start giving some prize money for the participants, as they spend so much on dance classes outside college.
-- Fashion Night. Did it happen...?
-- Celeb Night. My hub counterpart tells u to say “suckers” when they say Bombay, but let’s face it. They are not excellent, but are by far, the best of the lot who came to entertain us over the years. Their energy is just AMAZING.


-- The infrastructure cost for all the Technical and Cultural fests (at least 6 in number) in an academic year – 12 lacs (approx). With this budget the college can actually buy that infra once for all. All they have to do is to just maintain it properly. If this is looked after, I don’t see the need for anymore infra costs from next year. They can be reduced by three fold at least.

-- We need a Mega Technical fest and a Mega Cultural Fest. That’s it. Enuf of these Autofest, quest, mindbend, Sparsh, kashish, prakriti, entru meet, etc etc bullshit.

-- Finally, a sincere advice to my friends in CS block, H-5. “Please flush your toilets after use.”

-- The biggest clarification, after all. DC means Direct Connection hub.

-- For all 3rd yr ppl. "RESPECT. Respect your seniors". If u wanna know how, ask your colleagues from AP.


That’s it guys. End of a journey. The same worded, same fonted notice of “Best of luck” advice from the director finds its way to the hostel notice boards, and I wish u all the same. For all those future hub masters and operators – contact abhinav757@gmail.com for any query.




Let there be light,
G-Spot.
