DESERT SAFARI

Another one of my adventures in Dubai was the Desert Safari, which was so-so in the whole trip. Firstly, we reached near the desert, and waited for it to start. In the free time, I didn't do quad-biking, but I have done it before and mark my words, it was marvellous swashbuckling in the quad bike over the dunes and sand spraying everywhere. It wasn't rocket science to operate the small vehicle, and it was really fun, as we zoomed about rapidly leaving a trail of dust clouds. Anyways, we hopped into a Land Cruiser, a powerful SUV, fit for the rough terrains of the desert. We did dune-bashing, as we rid and jumped from high and bumpy dunes. We had to hold on tight, as it jumped, and went down steep dunes, and that was really enjoyable. Just up and down swiftly, jumping ,landing made it a great endeavour. We also posed for photographs, and took a view of the whole city on a tall dune, and it wasn't easy to climb the dunes, as your feet kept on getting stuck. Dune-Bashing was a thumbs-up. But after that, we took a journey to another camp and on the journey, we spotted things which don't normally exist in the urbanisation these days. In the empty and spacious desert, we glanced at prickly cactuses, puzzling mirages, and tiny oasis, a remote mud home. In the camp, the weather changed from the scorching sun  to a bit chilly wind. There we saw some dances and performances which weren't as dazzling as the website described them to be. and it was just a long bore after that, as the food was scarce and atrocious, and we had to stand in enormous lines. The dune-bashing was brilliant but after that it was a drab. So I give it 2.5 out of 5, and wish to see some enthralling acts, to make the voyage better.

THE INTERGALACTIC STAR WARS

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away........Star Wars was a brilliant Christmas present. If you're one of the few people in the world who hasn't seen it till date-
Firstly, reassess your life
Secondly, grab a newspaper and run to the nearest theatre and time. Forget your meeting or work, just watch it.
The interplanetary battle came to life as I watched it in 4D in Dubai, and the effects were staggering, just like the movie. The plot is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, with attacks and warfare all over the story. It is the ultimate clash between The Resistance and The First Order, both on a mission to triumph in getting ahold of Luke Skywalker, who has gone into exile. The lightsabers, spaceships firing all this just left my eyes superglued to the screen. Robots and droids, all with unique characteristics. You wouldn't not like it, not such a great movie, arguably the best movie of 2015. In my opinion, the creator of Star Wars should receive a nobel prize. With disastrous weapons and slick spaceships with a brilliant range of characters, I give this mind-blowing movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. Who will claim victory, the evil First Order, or the heroic Resistance, Find out in this stupendous movie:STAR WARS:THE FORCE AWAKENS

LOHAGARH FARMS

We took a step away from the bustling malls, and the brilliant urbanization for a day, as we plunged into the heart of the Aravali hills, to a place known as Lohagarh Farms. In the early morning, we set off with a chill in the air, and reached our destination, the serene and peaceful Aravli Hills. In the farms, we quickly gobbled up a typical village breakfast, paranthas and aloo puri. We played a bit of football in the dusty ground, which wasn't exactly Old Trafford standard, with obstacles and mud everywhere where the ball bounced at several places boggling the opponent. Anyways, aftera quick look around the Farm, we came to know there were great activities sprawling all over the farm. We first hopped onto a tractor, and took a round. It was a bumpy and jumpy ride. Nevertheless, we got to know how they move around and encounter potholes and the rough terrain disturbing their journey. We took another ride, but not on the tractor but the camel, as we took a seat on it's hump. There was a pitch for tug of war with a lengthy rope. We also played darts, where are aim was the decider of a score, and believe me,it  wasn't pie. We also did some commando-style crawling under a low net, which led us to a balance beam, made of tree wood. We also did quite a lot of parkour. And after oodles of more activities, we muched a quick bite for our lunch, and called it a day. What an awesome way to spend our holidays. If tou're tired of the city and the loud noise of vehicles with the awful pollutiom, you can come here, and the enjoyment will just not stop.

JOSÉ MOURINHO SACKED!

Chelsea manager José Mourinho has been sacked after the atrocious first-half of the season. The Defending Champions are now at the 16th spot, just on the edge of relgation. Arguably one of the best managers of all time has led The Blues to 8 titles in his time at Stamford Bridge. Roman Abramovich and the others have come to a verdict to make Mourhino leave the club. I would have never in my wildest dreams though that such a world-class team would be down in the dumps like this. I think it was the right decision, as maybe a new manager could get them back to their original brilliant form. Chelsea are in a bit of a mess, and the thing that should worry them that they have a big game against rivals Manchester United, and their chemistry is all haywire after the Portugese coach's departure. I'm almost sure they will suffer yet another loss at Old Trafford.Their game against Sunderland couldn't go to well after the consequences. Chelsea would now need an absolutely stupendous manager who can turn the tables around and get Chelsea back to winning ways. I guess we'll  just have to wait and watch to see how this turns out.

Adidas Uprising(U-12 FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT)

12th December was an absolute blast of a day, and probably the best Saturday in my life till date. On the frosty morning of 12th December, we entered the grounds of Ansal University, where we were just about to play a football tournament by the name of Adidas Uprising. We got a walkover in our first match, which provided us a free ticket to the pre-quarters. After an hour of anticipation, it was our match, and a great one. We ripped the other team to shreds with an annihilating 8-2 victory. In the quarters, we edged past 1-0 and were ecstatic that we reached the semi-finals. This would go on to be our toughest game with some brilliant football players as our opponents. But the frigid weather and icy winds didn't stop us in the game. The final was waiting for us after a 2-1 win in which we gave away a last-minute penalty, but God was on our side after their star player missed it. Later, it was the final, the moment of truth. We got a 2-0 lead which stayed with us through the whole game, and I cannot describe in words how I felt at that moment when the referee blew the final whistle. We triumphed in the U-12 Adidas Uprising cup. I was on cloud nine after lifting the glistening trophy and wearing the medal, but over the moon after receiving the award for player of the tournament. Our goalkeeper also hot handed the prestigious prize of Golden Glove. Our staggering teamwork and stupendous effort had led us to this.My, what a brilliant day had just passed by.

SEINFELD

Seinfeld is a hysterical comedy show from the late 90s which includes the daily lives of 4 people. Seinfeld includes some dialogues, events and characters that will leave you in chuckles. Julia Louis Dreyfus, Jerry Seinfeld, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander have portrayed their character flawlessly and I wouldn't be too surprised if it's named the best Comedy show of all time.***** 5 stars is the rating. there's no question about it. you woukd fall of your chair just watching an episode for 5 teeny minutes, and I can assure you would absolutely adore it. Michael Richards is brilliant, acting like a bit of a doofus, but intellectual in the same way. Jerry Seinfeld, the lead star is stunning. Jason Alexander does not make mistakes. Julia Louis Dreyfus is a jokester and prankster, and she does a perfect job.These four are massively hilarious, and the laughter doesn't stop. The person who comes up with all these unique characters and chucklesome plot desrves a nobel prize. The series has received 10 Emmy awards, 3 Golden Globes and the total count is a whopping 41 awards, and the series deserves it in every way. I'm sure you don't need any more evidence of how much appreciation and people love it.This is the reason TV's exist, for watching such staggering and stupendous shows. If you don't watch it, it'll be a great loss for you as this is one of the greats.You have nine great seasons to guffaw through, and you'll laugh your hearts out!

CHELSEA AND THEIR DISASTROUS SEASON


The defending champions are having an absolutely shocking season. They have been in miserable form, with losing a whopping 7 games out of their 12. I supposed The Blues would be hogging the top stop in the table, but their position is an awful 16th. Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world, but they have no points to support the statement after a dreadful season. They just suffered a loss against Stoke City, and are sitting near the bottom of the standings with a poor 11 points. Eden hazard, Diego Costa, Pedro are stupendous players but they just can't win. José Mourinho is a solid gaffer, but Chelsea has had a horrendous first quarter of the BPL 2015-16. I wouldn't be too surprised if they get relegated to the lower division, as they are just on the edge of being in the last 3 spots. Chelsea are simply not displaying their brilliance which led them to the trophy the season before. Maybe they can turn the tables around and leave us awestruck, but I think there's not much hope. I don't know what the cause of their utterly terrible form is, but what I do know is that they won't end up in the top 5, and I doubt they will ever even touch the top 8. Well, nothing is impossible. We'll see.
