He watched from the sidelines as his younger brother dribbled the football through six defenders and shot at the goal. As the ball hit the net, the fans stood up and shouted in unison: Â“goooaaaallllÂ”.

He, too, raised his hands and shouted with them, but, in trying to stand up, fell down from his wheelchair.

“Aman, I have something to confess. This isn’t your baby”. “Okay”. “I’ve been sleeping with your brother since Diwali, but I’m leaving you for your sister”. “Good”. “I’ve been faking happy endings every night since we got married.” “Wonderful”. “You have no idea how many people I actually shagged before I met you.” “No problem”.

“Angelina Jolie and I are more than just good friends”. “Fascinating”. “I’m not really an accountant either. I work for the Secret Service and my codename is Sydney Bristow”. “That’s good to know”.

Sangeeta put her hands on her hips and frowned. Her husband listened to her even less than usual whenever England were playing.

A ball, a few kids from the hood, a pair of bricks to mark the goal “posts” and the game was on. That’s how we played the game growing up in a nondescript Indian town in an equally nondescript “mohallah.” After 33 years in the US, the solid thump of my bare foot hitting the ball right through the two bricks is but a distant memory. A year ago, though, I found myself in an open field in the same town, and there was the goal post made from two bricks, and a couple of dozen kids playing barefoot soccer. Let me share a secret with you. I went up to them and asked if I could play. They let me.

"And your wife doesn't mind?" asked the player nervously.

"Nope," replied the team captain, shrugging off his shirt. "Actually, she thinks it's really fucking sexy."

"But it's not like guys really do that sort of thing...it's not normal."

"Yeah wellÂ…it keeps us going."

And with that, he pulled the sarong knot tight and walked out.

These Armani sofas are entirely too large for this new smaller place. But ever since the currency crisis, the mortgage on the 'good houses' on Park Avenue have become tough to manage.

Bastards! If they only played a little less soccer! Then it would be the beautiful and financially prudent game.

Four years ago I was in Taksim Square, Istanbul when the Turkish team came home to a roaring jubilant reception. They had won the bronze and the nation was ecstatic. Red-n-white waves gently caressed the ocean of sports fans and positive-energy fans.

This time IÂ’m in DelhiÂ… eager to see the energy that builds here.

Laila used to be a VJ on Channel[V] in India. If my memory serves me right , she was half moroccan/arab. She is definitely a great muse to work on…….
