FIFA World Cup 2006

FIFA world cup 2006 football tournament has begun; most of the evenings in next one month will be spent in watching my favourite teams and players in action. My favourite team in this tournament is England and favourite players are Steven Gerrard (England), Ronaldinho (Brazil) and Thierry Henry (France). All the best guys!

There is a betting competition in our company here, each team have points based on their ranking and one can select 3 teams with a total point of 100. Every win, draw and advancement to next level by your selected teams will add up your total points. The problem with this betting is that if you select heavy weight teams like Brazil, England as your first team, then you can select only low ranked teams as your second and third. So the best way is to select 3 average teams. Thus, I have selected my teams as France, Sweden and Mexico. The first prize is 1000 Danish krones (around Rs 7500), eagerly waiting to see me winning this bet :-)

Aalborg Carnival

It was Carnival in Aaalborg on May 27 and 28. On the first day, the evening was exciting and colorful with Carnival groups making processions through the city to the city park, Kildeparken where each group performed on stage. Among these, 5 groups were selected to perform the next day for the titles.

The second day was the real "Carnival" and the Grand Parade was for everyone. The city centre was full of life. The streets were filled with people with different kind of costumes making parade through the city and everybody was in real fun mood, doing all kind of crazy things. In Kildeparken concerts were given from various stages all day to midnight. The Carnival ended with a grand firework display.
