Football for Food

When hunger strikes at your stomach from the penalty box, when the surroundings can't defend your upbringing, when poverty shows up the Red card whenever there are many mouths to feed, when filth, garbage, neglect and apathy are your loyal fans, then you have to play this game under the coaching of conscience.
Kids find their freedom, forget their shabby environment, their lack of opportunities when they feed on football. From regions of blood diamond mining to refugee camps in sub-Saharan countries, football is the anecdote for their hunger. When childhood liberates itself and sets its innocence free to run on the field and feet begin to smile with joy; it only happens with football. The whole world may be glued to the oncoming global event, but lurking away in some corner, some kids will be creating their own world of emotions connected with this game. What else do you need except two pairs of feet, any visible marking for goal posts and that food (football)?

Bikini Movies

For a while now, there has been a new genre of movies being produced and marketed in Bollywood industry characterized by magnanimous locations where somehow or the other the lead actress gets a chance to flaunt her toned body in a sultry bikini while the actor is also not far behind in his chiseled torso. these movies have their romantic scenes set on exotic beaches (how then will you sport a bikini) while the rest of the plot be dammed.
very well packaged, nicely marketed, injected with high-adrenaline these are the new Bikini Movies courtesy the good old bikini. It is not about the the heroine with a superb bod anymore, it's about the movie itself being well toned to be able to fit in a bikini frame of mind. Viewers need to go, sit and strip of all their mental clothing and leave it in their bikini intellect for the movie to fit in. I'm not saying that the movie is bad, what I mean is that we need to shed inhibitions and bare our minds to minimal intellectual clothing when one goes to see these Bikini MOVIES.
