<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Gilbert Hill has a sheer vertical face and was formed when molten lava was squeezed out of the Earth's clefts during the </span>Mesozoic Era<span style="background-color: white;"> about 66 million years ago. </span>Although it is a 200 meters high structure, one of the greatest geological wonders of India, is actually quite irritating to locate. You have to make your way through crowded roads, slums, potholes, high rise residential buildings and still not see the structure until you are right in front of it - at one point we started to doubt the GPS! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Devils Tower has a boundary of 1347 acres. Devils Postpile has a boundary of 798 acres. Gilbert Hill has no boundary. It's lucky to still be there. There has been construction debris dumped at the foothill of Gilbert Hill. Residential buildings have virtually encroached into its non-existent boundary. </span> </span><br />

<span style="line-height: 14.2667px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love this quote. Some say it was quoted by Albert Einstein.

<i><span style="line-height: 14.2667px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One upon a time the animals had a school. The curriculum consisted of running, climbing, flying and swimming, and all the animals took all the subjects.</span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="line-height: 14.2667px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="line-height: 14.2667px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Duck was good in swimming—better than his instructor—and he made passing grades in flying, but he was practically hopeless in running. Because he was low in this subject, he was made to stay after school and drop his swimming class in order to practice running. He kept this up until he was only average in swimming, but the average was passing so nobody worried about that except the duck.</span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="line-height: 14.2667px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Eagle was considered a problem pupil and was disciplined severely.

If you love talking, how about teaching or counselling? Or even sales? Our educational system is traditionally designed to groom us into ‘employees’. I know a guy who barely passed 10<sup>th</sup> STD but has his own tours & travels agency because he loves travelling. He is on the verge of starting his own hotel too!

Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League way back in 1994-95. It was unprecedented and a surprise, no doubt. Nevertheless it happened in an era still devoid of rich owners splurging money to buy talent to win silverware. If Rovers winning the Premier League was huge, Leicester winning it is humongous!<br />

The entire value of the Leicester's squad is around £54 Million which is nearly how much Kevin De Bruyne cost Manchester City. No offence to De Bruyne. The POTY Riyad Mahrez costed £0.4 Million as against let's say £32 Million for last year's POTY.<br />

There are no inter-caste marriages there; only inter-disability marriages. At present Somnath has about 550 residents, most of them leprosy patients and handicaps. About 1200 acres of land is used for cultivation. This project was started by Baba in 1967 after fighting for and finally being sanctioned "barren" forrest land. At present, it is the powerhouse for all projects for agricultural supplies!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So what strikes your mind when you want to hangout in Vile Parle? Probably the areas in and around Juhu Beach, that street where NM and Mithibai College is or anywhere else but <i>Nanda Patkar Road</i>! So where is it exactly - You know the petrol pump near the highway near the dominoes, in Vile Parle east? Yes, opposite that petrol pump lays the street rarely explored by people not staying in Parle east</span><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span><br />

What is absolutely worth it is a roadside <i>misal wala </i>and a <i>chai tapri! </i>Being very close to my college (M.L.Dahanukar College), it was pretty much our ritual to have the "<i>Gabheri misal" </i>almost every </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">day possible. With ample parking space, it was all about getting there, parking the rides, lining up on the counter, spicing up the <i>misal</i> with that extra curry and <i>a cold drink </i>later on to cool down - it would seem like going to college was after all not a complete waste of time! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A lot of college memories of that place embedded in our minds! Marching over there in large groups, non-stop chattering, friendly leg pulling sessions, blah blahing and the moment the food is in front of us - complete silence, just the occasional "<i>aur do pav dena"</i>! Unlike many other streets where you could have multiple options to eat (Confusion too), this street has one unique thing that others don't - it is surprisingly quiet and aloof from the main roads. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's been some time since graduation, but still <i>Nanda Patkar Road </i>is often the only reason for me to go to Vile Parle East. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's good enough we're not losing but it's bad enough we're not winning either! There can't be a better opportunity to make a come back for us than tomorrow! </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here are five talking points about Mumbai City FC's chances!</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Lack of goalscorers & finesse</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Miscued chances is what has cost Mumbai City to drop points in a drab fashion in the last 3 games. Moritz blitz in the Pune game had us all in an awe and our expectations went sky high but he has been goalless ever since. With towering defenders in the squad, there would be nothing wrong in expecting a goal or two from the set pieces!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. The great wall of Mumbai</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The defense looked lost at the start of the season. Like Coach Peter Reid remarked, MCFC wasn't playing like a team. They have come a long way to shield the Mumbai goal for five consecutive games. And they will have the job to contain the ghost-like runs of Jeje/Mendoza who managed to bamboozle the Mumbai defenders on more than one occasion in the sides' previous meeting (Also resist their urge to take them down every now and then!). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. The Anelka factor</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On one hand, as much as we were disappointed to see Freddie play only for a handful minutes in the entire tournament, Anelka has lived up to his stature and given the fans what they wanted. He will be pivotal to Mumbai's chances in the tournament. He will have to be the better player against Elano to give the Mumbai City fans the win they are so craving right now.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. Indian Starlets</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Subhash Singh and Nadong Bhutia are the raw Indian diamonds being polished by Peter Reid and it's about time they start making an impact in the game on their own. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Subhash in
particular has been spectacular in finding space in the opposition
half, making those little runs with his pace but he has made unfortunate contributions to missing sitters. Nadong has been creative on the right flank with his crosses. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">5. The dish best served cold.</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yes that's right. Revenge time. No shooting blanks tomorrow. It's not a derby. More importantly it is the question of how we reply to the five goal thrashing we received at their mercy in their backyard. Time to buckle up. Not give away penalties and free kicks especially in the Elano region! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Go MCFC! </span></span></div>
