Hello and happy new year to everybody!
I’m sorry for being so late, but I have gotten so lazy to write more than 140 characters because of a website called
twitter
That I forgot about this blog for the time being, of course, that doesn’t ever last long, I could never stop writing in my beloved blog!
I haven’t had much time, or inspiration for that matter to do any new poetry, people are breaking up all over the place! Aside from me, of course, which is great.
So, the New Year has been good for me, and I see a lot of challenges ahead of me in 2011. The good part about it all is, I still have both my loving grandparents with me, and thank God they are not in hospital at the moment. So that in itself was a great start to the year.
On Monday I am leaving on a cruise on a ship called the MSC Sinfonia! If you want to know more about it, I guess you can
google
It, but it’s a huge cruise liner which I’ve been on before, but because I got my degree I’m going on it again, just for a celebration! I leave in 3 days time, on Monday the 10th of January for those of you who are seeing this post a bit late.
I will be sure to take out lots of pics and post them here, and add a description for all the ‘blindies’ out there, of course.
I’ve never posted on this blog about my love for sport, I can’t seem to find a reason why, but I suppose you will all hear the ramblings of a blindy like me who watches cricket and tennis! Of course, India is touring South Africa at the moment, and the test series between the two countries has been drawn 1-1.
Which is great for me, because in the third and final test, the Proteas were staring down at defeat on 130/6 and it looked like India will take the series 2-1! But that didn’t happen, and I for one am quite content with the draw.
On Sunday there’s an only t20 match between the two teams, which I am going for, there’s apparently going to be a bollywood concert after the match! It’s going to be one of the most amazing matches ever, because it’s being held at the soccer stadium in Durban, which is the Moses Mabhida stadium. The match is going to be in honour of the great Sachin Tendulka and South Africa’s own Makhaya Ntini. It’s actually known as a historic t20 match, because it is also held to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of Indians to South Africa. I am absolutely proud to be there, as I have done some research and found out exactly which of my great grandparents came to South Africa all those years ago, and the suffering that they did endure. It took me a long time to find this, but I am working on writing it all down and I will surely put it in this blog!
According to the newspapers, Bollywood heavyweights, Shahrukh Khan, Anil Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, will lead a star-studded line-up that will perform in the New Age Friendship Celebration Concert, which brings together leading entertainment stars from South Africa and India.
After the match and concert, I have to come home, and pack and then we set sail on Monday! I hope to blog as soon as I get back!
Peace and love!
