blue monday with a side of vegetables

the world cup is over. devastation has hit the country with a force. even the weather understands. it is a cold, dark day in usually sunny durban. how will we recover from the lack of soccer?

lol that was me being dramatic :)

anyways, i am pretty devastated purely based on the fact that i love sport. always have, and always will. like i just told a friend, i was born with my dad's favourite premier league football team's scarves, flags and momentos decked around my crib! liverpool is the team i have supported since. i was also the athletics captain in primary school and my dad being a cricket player and my mum being an athlete always made sure my brother and i watched sporting events no matter how big or small it was.

my point is that sport is in my blood and i'm sad this world cup is over not just because i loved watching it, but also cos the whole country (and the whole world) got excited about watching sport. we all came together over soccer and people who were never really interested in it now know what it is all about and how awesome it can be!

well anyway, that's enough of my emoness. today is monday and it is a vegetarian day for us. we fast on mondays and today it is curries on the menu. well everyone loves mixed vegetable curry at my home but i certainly do not. i just don't like everything mixed together like that. so my mum is making me spinach (which she cooks with whole garlic and dried red chilli) as well as mushroom and some dhall. yum:) it is days like this i appreciate being indian. our food is so vibrant and full of flavour and everyone knows the best food is the food you grew up with. india never played in the world cup back in the day because they wanted to play barefoot (hahaha) BUT maybe india will play in the next world cup if they can get over playing with shoes on?
