 I recently knew about the football player named Steve Finnan who joined Liverpool in 2003 and despite facing stiff competition from a number of players,has firmly established his position in the team.

The 2005-06 season was another excellent one for FInnan,who bagged another winner’s madal after a remarkable FA Cup final victory over West Ham.Here is a fact file about him.

MOMENT TO REMEMBER

Winning the UEFA Champions League is often the highlight of many players careers but given that Liverpool were 3-0 down when Finnan left the field in the 2005 final,he played no part in the comeback that won the trophy.His most remarkable on-field moment came at the Millennium Stadium in 2006 when the Liverpool twice came from behind to draw 3-3 with West Ham in the FA Cup final, a match they went on to win on penalties.

When there is moment to be remembered there is moment in the life which to be forgotten .

MOMENT TO FORGET

Finnan’s own own experience of playing in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final is not one he cares to recall fondly.He admitted he felt cheated out of the best moment of his career.”When you get to a game like that, the only lhing that matters is winning,”he said.”But personally after what happened to em ,you can’t help wonder at the time if you will ever go back to experience it properly.”

I read an interesting article about how the Indians watches the television as I also watch lot of television,so i decided to share abt it

Indian television’s defining moment arrived in the early July 1990, when a serialsed version of Mahabharata,came to an end.The show had entranced 300 million viewers for an hour every Sunday for 20 months on the country’s only TV station at the time ,state-owned Doordarshan.

No programme since has matched that size of audience and today’s viewres prefer “pop idols” to ones found in temples: 30 million tuned into the Indian Idol when it launched a couple of years ago.

More than 110 million homes in the country now have the television – more than half are connected by the cable and abt 7 million have satellites dishes. The most popular shows remain soap opeas, espically those hat revolve around the tensions between mothers-in -law and daughter-in-law in Indian homes.

Rupert Mirdoch’s Star chaneel has made its reputation on such soaps , and remais Indian’s most-watched brodcaster.

India being a developing country,and not every household has a TV,yet the gap is closing. The big problem is that budgets are small and competetion for audiences is cut -throat- which means less oppurtinity for “quality programming “That may change though.

I thought i can post abt the review of a famous book “Swami and his friends” written by R.K Narayan so by reading this o think u guys may read this book.Here goes the review.

Swami a ten years old, and life for him consists mainly of having adventures with his friends,avoiding the misery of homework,and copying as best as he can with the teachers and other adults he encounters.His greatest passion is the M.C.C.-the Malgudi Cricket Club-which he founds together with his friends;hes greatest day is when the examinations are over and school breaks up-a time to reverly and cheerful riotousness.But the innocent and impulsive Swami lands in trouble when he is carried asway by the more serious unrest of India in 1930. Somehow he gets himself expelled from two schools in succession,and when things have gone quite out of hand he is forced to run away fom home…….

This is far more than a simple narrative of Swami’s adventures- charming and entertaining as they are.By the delicate use of detail sympathetically obserrved,the author establishes for us the child’s world as the child himself sees it : and beyond , the adult community he will one day belong to -in Swami’s case, the town of Malgudi , which provides the setting of almost all Narayan’s later novels.
