Well believe it or not BRAZIL is out of FIFA'10. As disappointing as it can be for football fans all over the world and so in India, the truth has been told. So, who was better in the match? I guess both the teams played well, it was a tough fight but nonetheless at the end of the day Netherlands was better and so they won! This football season has been full of ups and downs especially for the biggies!!! Teams like Italy, France, England performed below everyones expectations. So there was something to cheer for many since the World No. 1 team was still in line but all hopes have vanished with the Brazilians being knocked out of the tournament. The atmosphere in my office was worth noting. While on one hand everyone was busy making pages, on the other a goal or two by the teams drew the attention towards the TV frequently.

The editorial page of a newspaper is one platform where not only the columnists express their viewpoints but also the common people who read the newspaper. It is also a page which is read but by very few people or only those who are in a habit of reading that page regularly or wish to improve their knowledge about the given opinion that comes in the paper.

It seemed my mind was all blocked. No ideas, nothing, i just sat in front of my laptop looking at the screen and wondering what to write. Days turned into months but words refused to flow.

In the past few days I read certain blogs on WRITING. One of those posts had mentioned that when you want to write just don't let it stop, go a...
