Sergio Romero - The Beast

Sergio Romero Saves The Day

Argentina don't owe it to Messi this time, they owe it all to Sergio Romero. Who would've thought that this man, about whom critics were all over saying he lacked the skill, would actually pave the way for Argentina for the World cup 2014 trophy. Forget the 90 minutes, forget the two halves of additional time, the penalty shootout is what had all the oomph.

Van Persie Or Messi? Who's it gonna be?

Time ticks away and an hour remains till the match between Argentina and Netherlands. The Dutch led by Robin Van Persie and with stars like Arjen Robben and Sneijder to pump in the attack, Argentina's defense has got to have a hard time. Great miracles are expected of the 27 years old Argentinian star Lionel Messi who has won the Ballon d'Or thrice, but Messi is sure to miss Angel di Maria who was ruled out because of a thigh injury in the last match. Messi often relied on di Maria for attacks and in the quarterfinal it was him who took the pass off Messi and tried to score but it took a deflection and became an assist for Gonzalez Higuain who transformed it into a goal.

Ramadan - An Observation

"Ramadan is the (month) in which the Quran was sent down, as a guide to mankind and a clear guidance and judgment (so that mankind will distinguish from right and wrong).." (Q 2:183)

The Holy month of Ramadan is upon us and everyone is fasting, but other than abstaining from food and drink, there is still much to do to preserve the sanctity of Ramadan. The sun is showing much energy and the textile industry has really reaped off it. One can see women in all types of objectionable poses and clothing, which might be accepted in our rather borrowed culture but certainly not in our pure religion.
