Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple and its revolutionary products is an inspiration for me. Hearing about his death from a status of Facebook friend was shocking and not so believable at first but as time passed i came to know that its the truth. As the biggest truth everyone will die.

Though he was born out of a marriage and gave up for adoption at birth and dropped from the college after 6 months, he changed the world. He invented devices millions of people use everyday. He left footsteps which will not be wiped from the face of earth as said by his competitor and opponent  Bill Gates.

Indeed he will be remembered for his visionary, creativity and courage. The title of this post “stay hungry. stay foolish” is one of my favorite quote by Steve Jobs. I send my sincere condolences and heartfelt gratitude to the Family, friends, coworkers and everyone who takes Steve as Inspiration.

The Maldives might be small regard to the population and Size but in Football, Maldives is one of the powers in south asia. Maldives won the regions championship once. And also maintained its status at constant level in FIFA ranking which is the highest in South Asia. Tied with South Korea and lost 1-0 margin with China. Mentioning all the positive statistics will even be a challenge.

But for one more Maldivian Star Ali Ashfaq is nominated as top players in Asia in 2009.

These are facts but Iran which is much more stronger opponent then Maldives, Which scored the most goals against Maldives in early days of Maldives football history.

Things has changed, Maldives even have scored goal against iran by Addey.

But while going through some of the Irans football forum websites the only thing i saw was disrespect against Maldives, Just dream iranian football fans, score 17 goals or high margin win against Maldives in dreams. It is nearly impossible unless Maldivian footballers give their goal free to score.

I will laugh if iran tie against Maldives and eventually lose their worldcup dream.

Football is not a war, it is a beautiful game with 11 players against 11 in pitch. And small teams are giving surprises to bigger ones.

We just have to respect others, the score is 0-0 unless match is played.

Go Maldivians go…

FIFA Registered international friendly between Maldives and India ended with 1-1 draw. First goal of the match was seen from Sunil Chetri of India while Muhuthar Naseer leveled before the Half time. Maldives dominated the Game and increased its attack when south asias best attacking player Ashfaq joined the Game. Maldives couch Crusiani praised the Midfielder of Maldivian Side Mohamed Arif(bakaa) as the super man of the match and he was satisfied with the result.

An attempt to break the largest human arranged heart world record to raise awareness on congenital heart disease failed tonight. The world record attempted to break the record established in mexico was failed due to low turn out of people. But tiny heart of the maldives reports the attempt was succesful as it raised awareness for the cause. Its reported that every 1 child born among 100 suffer from congenital heart disease.

Locals say that normally its no common to experiance such cold days because bangkok experiances its winter normally on september. And these days should be the biggining of the hotest days for bangkok. The temprature here is now 17 degree celcius. As a person who normally experiances warmer temprature between 25-32 degrees back in home Maldives its pretty cold for me.
