01. I went on a weekend trip to Varkala which is an hour drive from Trivandrum. It's a nice quite place. Beach isn't that big but it's okay. The water is so clear, you can see the seabed below for a long distance. I mostly slept the entire time, watched TV, played Sudoko on my iPod and read Trinity Blood. Mum and I played carrom everyday after dinner. Now that I'm back, I still can't shake off my vacation mood and now being the PL doesn't help either.
02. Chelsea 6 - Manchester City 0
Wow. Possibly one of the best Chelsea action that I've seen. City isn't exactly a very strong team but this season they've been fabulous to watch and hard to beat. Also they beat a team which was above them in the table by a large margin. All credit to the blues and now they're 4th in the table. Lampard was great in midfield and made good assists. Drogba was in his excellent form as usual. It was good to see Kalou, Cole and Sheva score. All those doubting Avram Grant are now rethinking their comments. Now for a little rant on the whole issue of Lampard being booed at Wembley. I'm not his biggest fan but I think booing of any player is just humiliating and reflects badly on the image of the country. Yes, he's been out of form for England but how is booing going to improve that? Fans need to think of another channel to show what they feel about the coach's decision. England's midfield isn't the best as portrayed in the Russia defeat. How about giving Barry and Lampard a chance?
03. Trinity Blood was a far more violent book than I imagined but it was good to read the backstory on the anime. Abel is <3.
04. This is an interesting read about how ISP's block P2P traffic.

It's a wee bit scary for me but it's a lng time since Sify might do that. For some time they had a loophole in it's speed limit checking. My 256mbps connection would provide 2000mbps. It was a glorious time. :)
