Hangout Group !!
So we are teens right..?And whats the most common Mantra..or what do you call it Trend amongst us..?Partying,Outings be it for a birthday..be it for the happiness felt..when Exams are over..or any other reason..but we want to enjoy..and we do not accept any excuses for it..!!And rightly so...this is the age to enjoy...for hangouts..!!Another Trend which most of the teens follow is yes...Flirting..it may sound a bit  unfamiliar to some..but it's what all the guys do..flirt with girls...and some girls flirt as well..but the number is a bit low..!! But where there is good..there is always a bad as well...these outings are still common amongst us..in fact more than common..!


On one hand....people flirt with each other..get on with it..,think this is what it's all about to be a teenager..and on the other hand...these flirtings lead to disappointing conclusions...so who is to blame for all these situations..??The bitter fact is...we ourselves don't know the answer to it...we ourselves don't know weather we flirt or not...we ourselves can't make up our mind...!!



Should I ?!
After some disgusting events...which recently took place in India...everyone seems to think...now a girl child must be given extra protection..extra care..!!
"Hey don't go alone..!!"
Okay I agree with it too...a girl should be given every possible right to be safe...but does that mean that now she shouldn't talk to any guy....can't guys be just friends...and if a guy is polite enough towards a girl...does that mean he is flirting...and if a girl talks to a guy....also does it mean that now she is flirting..??? Questions are many..but answers aren't..!!
It all depends on how a guy or a girl takes it into his/her account...all that matters is how you view it...your perspective is what matters most..if you have right intentions..then you don't need to fear anyone..!
There's an old saying :
Change your Thoughts...Change your World !!


Nowadays...every girl is so conscious that if a guy says hi...,talks to them...,sometimes compliments you..just because he is your classmate..or knows you...they immediately dwell into conclusions that..."he wants to flirt with me"...which I believe is a good..a very good move..in fact every girl should do that..it's better to cut the relationship in early stages...but what if the guy doesn't have those sort of intentions..?? Because of all these disgusting events..our society has become such of a kind that...if a girl takes these measures.."yeah it's good..girls should be safe..!".
And if a guy thinks the same to a girl...What will happen then..?? Nobody will believe him...So the point is...we as teenagers follow the trend which is set up nowadays...but...if somebody is mistaken for no reason at all...it hurts..even be it a guy..!!I'm not saying girls should talk to every guy she knows....but they should think twice before spotting weather a guy is a flirt or not..!!


Ooh Yess !!
One one hand...they try to be as secure as possible..and on the other hand they talk with guys...and if a polite guy...or what do you say...ones who respect girls...nowadays seems to be a flirt..!!No no not the ones who roam with girls !!...the ones who are polite..,respect girls..are considered flirts.!! Politeness/Kindness has become such a rare breed of personality that now every thinks it's a new way of Flirting..!!Sad but true it is..!! #WierdWorld
Gentlemen are those who do what they Should do not what they Want to do !! 
This sums up everything in a simple line..!!


So are they related..?
It feels like ages since i wrote my last blog..but in reality it's only been a few weeks..!Rightly so..i was so busy going to a function..then came my cousins to my home..there was hardly any time for me to write one..!So back to business now..!We all  hear the great inspiring stories..about the success of this person,that person..and about ambition too..!being a massive soccer fan it reminds me of a situation..a situation where a footballer leaves a football club for another..and if asked about the reason..he revealed he had greater ambition...yeah yeah..Robin van persie..left Arsenal(club i still support) for Man United..!But it makes me feel to wonder weather Success and Ambition are related to each other..!If there is no ambition..will there be any kind of success in his path....and if success isn't achieved..is it necessary that he/she had no ambition in him..?In a journey all that matters is the end..but is ambition a part of it.?


Some may feel it's a fair enough argument to say that without ambition there is no success...rightly so..as has been said by the great Bill Bradley:
         "Ambition is the path to Success"
 But what i feel is that ambition may be the unsung hero..but it is not the only thing that plays part in success.I feel ambition is the catalyst behind success..i totally agree..!But there are many more of them behind ambition too..!A puzzle consists of many pieces not one or two of them...is it..?!!And i consider Success to be a Puzzle..a bigg one..!A puzzle which expands or contracts depending upon the Ambition of a person...ones who want to keep moving forward may have a bigger puzzle to solve...but the hunger to move forward is what Ambition provides...at least this is what i think..!


Ambitious Fish..!
But some may say hard work is the key to Success more than anything else..!But then again hard work and ambition are related too..! Aren't they..?Without ambition how can an individual work hard enough to achieve his/her goals..?!It reminds me of another great quote this time by Bill Cosby:
"I don't know the key to success,but the key to failure is trying to please everyone else"
 And if one doesn't have ambition..this is what happens..!Sure hard work is needed for everything...but ambition provides that path..!


So for me..Success and Ambition are two words which are well and truly related with each other..!Success is not guaranteed if one keeps on dreaming...yeah yeah i want to beat Bill Gates in terms of wealth..haha..but the path is equally more challenging...!He(Bill Gates) worked hard enough for this day to come..and most importantly had an ambition as high as possible..!We can dream right..?But hard work is necessary too..!There is no substitute for it but surely has a coach called Ambition..! :-D

Underdog ?
So the word "competition" may seem a familiar word to hear....it's not our fault,it's today's world that has gone so crazy that even for a post of executive in a company,we face the so called race/competition for it.There are millions fighting out for one seat in IIT colleges in India.Ok they might get a good job(the ones who cleared IIT) but what about the rest..?Does this mean others can't surpass them in life..?





Competitive world.
According to the Theory of Evolution..only the strong shall survive in this world....maybe so,as has been proved in many situations especially in countries like India.I'm not gonna describe those disgusting situations now..!But my point is that the strong may be the bookmakers favorite to win but not all the time.And when they do loose,they loose to someone who was an underdog and what was his secret..?he had no fear...who now has become more stronger than him because of this attitude in him.And believe me all great personalities will tell you the same thing.




Albert Einstein.
But do you know what they actually thought of this competition in this world..?They followed the  exact opposite...the Theory Of Competition..yes it may sound a bit strange but it claims that:
"Just because they are strong doesn't mean they can't get their asses kicked."
To become successful in life you should have that "X" factor in you,that special thing that nobody has..and most importantly believe in ourselves because we can lose hope with our mates and carry on with our lives..but the moment we stop believing in ourselves we''ll stop moving forward in our lives in terms of success of course..!
Let's look at the great Albert Einstein..he wasn't rich,he wasn't handsome enough to go into Hollywood,but one thing he sure was that he was clever enough to notice that if you fear of this world...you'll be left behind..!He is just a mere example who followed this route,a fearless route where we can express ourselves,where there is no fear that other person is stronger than me,where there is nothing to lose...!







Sure we should be able to handle the pressure situations in our lives,but everything needs a start to begin with isn't it,even a flight requires a run way to take off.And we as people also need a run way,a support which doesn't even cost a penny,doesn't require any help of others,all that is needed is the change of view that's it.

Now this reminds me of a line:
"If you will play not to lose..you'll always end up losing but if you'll play to win you have every chance to win it."
There isn't much difference in the lines but a lot in the meaning..!Small things can make huge impacts on our lives.And a successful person is the one that gives importance to these small things and builds success on this platform.
It doesn't need any rocket science to figure it out that good studies can ensure you luxurious life in future,but the attitude it is that plays a bigger part....oohk i'm not saying without any qualifications you can have a BMW...but even with the qualifications you should be smart enough to succeed..because some things aren't learned from the books...!We should keep one thing in mind and that is:
" I Can Do It."
That's all we need..!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.



Harry Potter series.
Harry Potter..i'm sure many of us are crazy fans of this series..and the worst part is that it came to an end.Nothing lasts forever though..but we feel we're a bit undone by it.Every time the next part was about to come the anxiety it used to build up was even on par with the hype when a new iPhone is released !.

Most of us like this series for many reasons..most of the girls like it for the lead actor..do i need to explain this..?Daniel Radcliffe most of the girls just scream like mad for him..it's their style of showing excitement though..!Some like it for the fact that good always prevails over evil..!
So lets look at what makes it such an amazing series which took the world by storm and made readers glued  and movie watchers see it again and again..i'm one of them as well though..!!



JK Rowling
Jk Rowling.
A British Novelist,her first book in this series came back in 1995,Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Since then,she never looked back.It was followed by the next book in July of 1998,Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.In 1999 came the third part of this book,Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Then came Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in 2000.We all know what happened since then.Order Of the Phoenix,Half Blood Prince,Deathly Hallows..but after each part curiosity kept on increasing amongst the readers. These kind of books are rarely found these days.It was a series which took the readers into completely different kind of world.A world in which there was magic..and these kind of stories need an exceptionally creative mind which she undoubtedly had.


The Plot
Good vs Bad..!
From the moment first human was created till the time when earth will no longer exist there will always be a fight between the Good and the Evil.The whole series even though has many twists and turns,many story lines,many different characters and many different places..but it was revolving around one theme..that good always prevails over evil.This is one of the many reasons this series is so popular..!Believe it or not when we watch a movie or read something when there is a fight..we always support the good...and in this series Harry to defeat the evil Voldemort..!.





Magic

Most of us get fascinated when we see a magician..don't we..?and we are keen to learn his tricks.In this series this is what it's all based on.To live in a world where you can use magic,perform spells..it's just an amazing story line...!

The Quidditch game,the spells,the special candies,magic wands,different houses in school and much much more made the readers and viewers actually believe that magic can exist if you believe in it.And the names of the characters are just printed in our minds.. aren't they..? Dumbledore,Hermione,Ron Weasley..and who can forget Voldemort..!Such kind of names and such kind of world just stick to our minds.



Friendship
Best Friends..!
We don't often find people who really care for us..and those people are the so called "Best Friends".In this series we saw this true friendship between the trio Harry,Ron and Hermione. They always stuck by each other even in the hardest of times.That's what friendship is all about...and this series is just another example of that..!Making a million friends is not a miracle..making true friends when millions are against you surely is..!



Top of the game for some time now.
Apple the name which signifies a brand,a buisness which always manages to blow others out of the water and be one step ahead in the competition.It's also is the most valuable company in the world.So what makes it so special and what does it have which others don't..?Lets look at the analysis:


Steve Jobs



The first thing that strikes in everyone's mind when one talks about apple..well there are no prizes for guessing..yes Steve Jobs.He is the mastermind who created such products with a unique design and an easy to use interface that too in 2007 which other companies are struggling to match till date.He came up with new and innovative ideas to simplify user experience and redefine smartphone experience.




iNew
Laetst version of iOS
Calm down guys it's not the latest apple product..well by now everyone of us know that apple products start with an 'i' be it an iPhone or an iPad or an iPod.But they are the first products with such names.Not only they have their unique names they have an unique user interface as well called the iOS,latest version of it being iOS6.For the first time in smartphone history apple created a personal assistant called Siri for iPhone4S(now available for iPhone 5 and iPad 3 as well)..and that took the world by storm(i've used it and believe me words can't describe it).



Classy Design
iPhone 5
Another factor which enhances an apple product is it's premium finish...be it an iPhone an iPad an iPod or even a Mac PC you will get a premium finish for sure..!one you'll love to hold.They are built of glass(mostly all of their products) and metal(i'm talking about the iPhone5) giving a perfect experience to hold one could get.From my personal experience of an iPhone 5 it does'nt get any better than this...surely at this moment.Apple claims it designs screens that are just about the perfect fit for a hand,this may angry some people who are fans of large screens like the ones of samsung galaxy note 2 which has a 5.3 inch display.But apple has a valid point as well,they say that a regular thumb can access the full screen of the present iPhone 5  but the same can't be said of galaxy note 2.




App Store
Apple app store
In today's fast moving world our smartphones can even calculate the amount of calories we've burnt in a workout.But who started it all guys..yes you've guessed it right..Apple.When it comes to applications apple is the undoubted king of it.The wide range of applications one has on offer is just awesome.It has over 8,75,000 apps and still counting.Be it children,adults,old age people there is something for everyone infact more than something.Games,magazines,books,iTunes,podcasts the list can go on and on and on...one can argue that android has apps as well but it's the quality which matters not quantity and there was never any doubt about it.


Rafael Nadal in a match in Rome Masters.

Rafael Nadal the name says it all,like Barcalona and Real Madrid in soccer isn' it...?Clay court is one of the three main types of courts in which this sport is played.And Rafael Nadal is the undoubted King of it.








Roger Federer reacts after winning a Wimbeldon Final.






First one like we all know is the Grass Court..and the undoubted master of it..no prizes for guessing..! Roger Federer. Here Wimbeldon tournament is held every year.This type of court requires suttle skill,finesse and
most important of all..players can get away with less stamina in their tanks unlike the clay court.Its purely based on skills and does'nt require any brute strenghts.






Djokovic after winning the Australian Open.
Second one is the Hard Court.Usually Australian open tournament is organised here.It's a very pacy surface.But once you adapt and have ample practice one can master it. Perfect example for it is Novak Djokovic.His recent dominance in Australian Open shows what a tennis player needs to master this court,and all that is needed is Quick thinking that's it.








Nadal after winning a point.
The Third One is Clay Court.Usually French Open is conducted here every year.So Nadal,if we compare him with Federer,he doesn't possess his fast and accurate serves.Now lets compare him to Djokovic and he can't match his speed.But one thing he sure does have is mental toughness and agility.He has incredible stamina which is his greatest strengths can chase anything and never gives up.Even though he is weak in some departments,he overcomes them with his incredible work rate.And in the clay court all you need is stamina and agility.So Clay Court And Nadal are the perfect mix for each other.He sure is good in other courts too,he won the wimbeldon tournament 2 times most recently in 2010.He won Australian Open as well in 2009,but the most impressive record which makes him the king of clay court is that he won the French Open for a record 7 times..yes 7 times..a feat never repeated till now..!
                                                                                                                                                                     
Recently I came across showroom..nah I'm nt gonna describe it..there I saw a poor child..a beggar not able to even eat a full meal..reason it's a no brainer isn't it..? Money..!
And there i also saw a rich fat child.. Bulky whatever u call him..eating a dairy milk silk..yumm...and the worst part..throwing it half eaten..!
Then only I realized day in dis fast changing world only one thing is for sure to happen and that is "CHANGE"..!
But sadly that word doesn't seem so true fr poor people..!
In fact the harsh reality is that the rich get richer nd poor get poorer..! Nd there is no light fr them at end of tunnel..! No hope..no helping hand..!
We in fact I try to help them as much as possible but it's not a one man army..u know..!:-(
Only way to cut dis disgusting chain is ..again it's a no brainer isn't it..?
Education..
But it's easier said than done..!
We need to create awareness among poor people dat making small children work may earn them small profits today..! But nt on long term basis..!
So lets make it happen..!
And let me quote dis wonderful line of Ms Mother Teressa before signing off:

"We think that a small drop doesn't make much of a difference in a big lake..but if that drop isn't there then that lake would be without that small drop"





So after 7 games for the gunners,one thing is for sure which every gunner fan in fact every soccer fan can notice is that this year arsenal are something special.This feeling has never been for quite a few time.Another take away is that the defense looks more solid,only second to chelsea in terms of goals conceeded who have barely played a top team other than us,so iinfact better than chelsea's defense in my opinion.So the point is that without rvp,arsenal is no longer a club which revolves around one player,now its a club which revolves around eleven players.Now there is no ego in the dressing room and most importantly no player is bigger than the club which rvp thought he was.



It also gave gervinho a chance to play in the center which he has done perfectly.Theo walcott can play there as well,which was not possibe before.It gave gunners a new dimension in attack as we all know how good the movement of gervinho an wacott is,and ofcourse giroud and podolski can play there as well.So its becoming very mouth watering squad to pick from.Now goals wil come collectively from the team rather than one man,although any decent striker could score about 20 goals a season with the number of chances arsenal create.So Gunners are  atleast on right track and on will surely wonder how the likes of cazorla,wilshere,podolski cant drive the team forward in seasons to come.!!.Till then one word is sure COYG..!!

Gunners came out with all three points thanks to the goals from Giroud,Walcott and Cazorla.Its was a fascinating match with two teams with two different ways of playing football.West Ham dominated the game with rough football while Arsenal played slick football,although they found it difficut some times in the match,but they had that mental toughness.


Gunners needed  to show some character after going down to an early goal,which they did.Its a strong foundation for a successful season,as we have only lost one match against chelsea which was a bit unlucky for us, at least deserved a point in my opinion.

Now we have a great squad with sufficient depth in all positions except striker position.Its a message to all other top teams that we are no more soft arsenal which lose these rough games; we are like old arsenal with steel and finesse.Looking forward with great things to come and beware Manchester.
