Come to think of it, June was an amazing month to watch TV. It couldn't get any better than this for couch potatoes. We had an amazing choice to choose from Asia Cup, England v Australia ODI series, Wimbledon, French open and the greatest of them all FIFA World Cup. All of them were amazing contests and for a sports enthusiast it was a difficult choice to make. But even after all these amazing sporting events I sorely missed watching Saina Nehwal win three world series in a row, they could have atleast televised the Indonesian Series ( the third and the latest one ).
It was a fantabulous achievement and a welcome change for Indians who are constantly bred on sports news based on the cricket team's ups and downs, a tennis star's ( supposedly ) marriage gossip and the hockey team's continuous spiral downwards. Hopefully this achievement might cause a revival in Badminton, which traces it's roots in British India.
Another TV show that begun in the last week of June was Glee on Star World, has caught my imagination and has filled the void left by Scrubs. Glee is a quintessential story of American High School where losers are trying to gain an entry in the school's happening crowd. So a professor, who also happened to the an ex-student of the school, resurrects a club which was the toast of the school in his hey-days,and he was a part of. The club is called the 'Glee Club', who are preparing for a song and dance competition with the help of the Professor, and the plot is of the underdogs taking on the big boys.
Moving on from Television, reading novels has also become a great past-time. Had taken a consious decision of not reading Fiction novels, so these days have been read books on History, Philosophy and Economics. Have bought a few books on the same and after a lot of procrastination, I have finally taken up reading 'Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World', am close to finishing it, probably by next week. My next blog would be on a personal review of the book, something which I have planned to do for all the books that I read.
