Anand K.Pillai (a.k.a. K.Anand) was a STAR first, then a LEADER. He is also the number one Gooner (that's Arsenal supporter, for the uninformed) in Malaysia. His love for writing on football comes a close second. He promises to be fair and balanced when writing about the scum, namely ManU and Spurs, but hopes readers will excuse the occasional lapse. |
FEB 7 — It is not hard to imagine what must be going through the minds of Chelsea players these days.
My guess is that they must be contributing a small portion of their huge salary to a “follow the captain” fund that pays for private investigators to tail the captain wherever he goes.
Honestly, it’s really quite difficult not to laugh at the predicament that John Terry has put himself in. No matter what he does in life henceforth, he will be known as the man who slept with a teammate’s wife.
FEB 6 — The English Premier League (EPL) is anything but quiet. We watch brawls on the pitch, temper tantrums, taunting by rival fans, and then read about the verbal attacks on referees, players and other managers, and now, about players damaging cars while drunk, managers sleeping with prostitutes and players sleeping with their teammate’s wife.
And all this just in the past week alone.
JAN 31 — Watching the Oscar-winning movie “Braveheart” recently, where Mel Gibson starred as the great Scottish warrior and leader, William Wallace, one is painfully reminded of deception in the hearts of men.
Wallace, whose father had been murdered by the invading forces led by a ruthless King Edward I, was eventually betrayed by some of the noblemen of Scotland in his fight against the English. That was one example of such deception.
Another was demonstrated in a speech by a crooked English Lord and magistrate, to some Scottish common folk, about how they have “tried to maintain peace and harmony” for the good of Scotland – all this in the midst of their evil methods and ill-treatment, sometimes violently, over innocent people for their own pleasure.
JAN 19 — Recently, someone whom I consider a very close and trusted friend, and who is a Muslim, wrote an email to me with a very simple question: “What was The Herald asking for exactly?”
As someone who knew what the issue was from the start, having once been a freelance contributor to The Herald, I gathered my thoughts and spoke to a few relevant people and started writing down the facts of the whole issue.
JAN 17 — Out of death, destruction and pain, I have learnt that sometimes good can come out too.
Relaxing over the past few days at a cosy resort in the middle of the jungle, attending a spiritual getaway, I truly enjoyed the peace and serenity.
Transition was the theme and I was ready to face up to the possibilities of transcending to a better place, while still in this world.
