Kensuke's Kingdom-BOOK REVIEW

An absolutely crackling novel, an edge of the seat adventure, Kensuke's Kingdom is a marvellous book starring Michael and Kensuke. After a catastrophic fall overboard, Michael finds himself washed away on a remote island, with old Kensuke. I would never have though of this book to be such a fabulous read, but it was spectacular. The vivid description and characterisation and the stunning plot made me hold onto the book till the absolute last word. It is a truly heartwarming story, full of friendship and trust. The book was exceptional, and I'll give it a full 5 out of 5 stars-*****. It brings out the statement- friendship needs no language and how important the friendship and bonds are in life. Run to the nearest bookstore and grab a copy of it. I'm sure you won't regret it. Michael Morpurgo has done a sensational job with the beautiful lines, full of stimulating paragraphs and give us a feeling of actually being on the island. The imagery is unbelievably convincing. I just loved it. It was extraordinary. I have never read such a book, with such breath-taking description and a fantastic plot. It feels like I have stumbled upon in their world, cast away on an unknown island. I think all of you will absolutely adore this book. It may be short, but you don't need a 500- page thick novel to bring out the message. You need Kensuke's Kingdom. Think of it as the perfect read.

GIFA CUP

The GIFA cup was a magnificent initiative taken by the well-known newspaper of India-Hindustan Times. It was a ginormous cup, one for Delhi and one for Gurgaon. I participated in the Gurgaon tournament, where a whopping 78 teams participated. Our team was a debutant in the cup. The organizers had done a pretty fine job in terms of the venue, the match and management. Hosted at Ansal University, there were four pitches where we played. It was a tremendous experience for me and the rest of the team. HT had done a pretty good job. We got past through the group stages and made it to knockouts round at over to the round of 16 and then to the Quarters, where we suffered a loss. I felt really good at our decent progress in the cup, even though we lost the quarter finals. But nonetheless, we had a stunning time in the tournament, which was inevitably my best performance ever in a tournament. Hats off to HT for bringing joy to all the Football-crazy fans in Gurgaon, and hosting a platform for us to develop in our Football skills. But getting to the last 8 out of 78 is pretty good. It was more of a football festival than a tournament where it commemorated joy, fun and football.GIFA was disciplined flawlessly and HT  receives a thunderous applause for this event.

Chelsea vs Arsenal

The London rivalry was as its best as it was the match of Defending champions Chelsea and Prem giants Arsenal.It was a close match but Chelsea grabbed the win by 2-0.Chelsea defender Zouma was the replacement of legend John Terry after he smashed a header home in the 53rd minute aginst former team mate Petr Cech. Arsenal got angry and their fouls cost them two red cards and they finished the game with only nine men on the pitch. Eden Hazard, the magical maestro helped them seal the win as the Belgian scored in the 90th minute.After the match, Portugese gaffer Jose Mourhino remarked that Arsene Wenger should learn to cope with defeat. He said that Diego Costa should have been the man of the match. Once again, a great match, and Arsenal wil be hungry for the win next time.Will Arsenal grab a win next time, or will Chelsea get the better of them?

Hawaii-five O

Hawaii-five O is a stupendous TV crime show starring Alex 'O Loughlin as Steve McGarett and Scott Caan as Danny Williams.Hawaii-five O is a task force of five people led by Steve McGarett, and the five members are a team who find ruthless killers, homicidal maniacs, and cruel kidnappers.The show is perfect as it incorporates a lot of mystery, action and technology. Stunning action and electrifying thrillers give Hawaii-five O a different class.The show is as high-tech as it gets, the theme music is amazing and I always love it and am tempted to jump on a plane and go to Hawaii because of the ravishing looks of the city at the beginning. The crystal clear blue water, the sandy beaches, the skyscrapers and iconic buildings, I love it all.Full of twists, bursting with spine-tingling suspense and exhilarating action is the perfect combination.The characters are awesome and so is the show.I recommend this show to all action maniacs.

Ethan Hunt the maverick

After watching Mission Impossible 5(which is absolutely staggering), I thought it would be a good idea to write about Ethan Hunt, the stupendous lead actor of the spectacular Mission Impossible series. A slick agent, who is a stunning person when it comes to plans. He will not be happy unless the plan is perfect and undetectable.He is swift, cunning and unpredictable.Probably the best secret agent, his action scenes are out-of this world.He is often wanted,but can slip away with ease.No matter what the circumstances, he can tackle and solve almost impossible problems.He can control the enemy like a puppet and can trap his target.A magician at escaping, a pro at beating criminals down, he is definitely one of a kind and the super Ethan Hunt will stay that way.I guess the word "impossible" is missing in his dictionary!By the way, Mission Impossible 5 is a must-watch and is as thrilling as thrilling can get!
