Sweet Champagne and Humble Pies..

Today...

was the culmination of 2 major sporting events. One could not have come soon enough and the other came far too quickly even if it ended favourably.

I will NOT miss the IPL - It was alright, but give me Test Cricket anyday (unless the're playing on a spineless Batting Track where even the legendary Courtney Walsh could have scored a century).

I will DEFINITELY miss the BPL though. And even though my Club of close to 15 yrs won the Title; another 'heart-string puller' reached a new low - by getting relegated a division. I will shed a tear and more, likely in the confines of my own company.

As the lap of honours were taken some with tears of joy and others with tears of despair; It reminds me of how often Football resembles real life. One man's gain is always another man's loss and vice-versa - Not being philosophical, far from it. More along the lines of retrospection.

I wonder how many people may have gained or lost thanks to I and vice-versa.

tit for tat ..anyone?
