Football Moris…Ki Direksyon?

Many of you must have watched the program on MBC 1 yest night. Futball Moris ki direction?

Good initiative by the Sports Dept of the MBC…trying to bring all the stakeholders of the field together n come forward with measures to change the current situation. The whole debate which was supposed to try find solutions for the current (despairing ) situation of football in Mtius became finally more focused on the past model v/s regionalisation… whether we shd move back to l’ancien formule (a lepok de Cadets, Sunrise, Scouts etc)

More than 1 n half hour spent on “Constat de la situation”…the current situation, low level of football, no more supporters, no investment, no motivation, etc. For God’s sake, we all kw that. Bring out the measures, ideas, discuss n save our football!!

It was supposed to be a a program were ideas wud be put forward/proposed so that, finally we can all do smg for this sport. But the +2 hrs became total crap, where most stakeholders began fighting for or against regionalisation… n others nt even accepting their responsibility in this current situation. The whole debate sort of deviated from its original intent…

Dessins de journaliste

Salutations,

Je profite de quelques minutes de pause pour vous présenter le blog d’une personne tout à fait remarquable. Autrefois journaliste, aujourd’hui ‘reconverti’ dans la caricature, ce monsieur d’une trentaine d’années signe de trois lettres ce que d’autres tentent – souvent sans succès – de dire.

Son crayon risque de bouleverser le style de caricature de la presse mauricienne (s’il y en a un), car alors que d’autres se contentent d’éxecuter les commandes des journalistes ou même des rédacteurs-en-chef au goût douteux, ce malgache arrive à surprendre et à faire rire même dans les situations locales les plus délicates.

C’est bon, c’est bon, vous vous ferez une idée vous-même. Cliquez pour le blog de POV.

Accident de la Route

Hi to u all, i do hope that you have heard and read about the accident at Montagne Longue. The article appeared on L’Express of 15th January 2007:

However, let me explain something to you:

All people in the accident are my neighbours(except for Sabeyroon)…

Today(18/01/2007), Firdose-the 19yr Old married woman breath out her last breath at around 8am leaving a baby of 18months and a husband to struggle for a longer life withour her…

There is still the little girl of 10yrs who is struggling for life… She is still in comma and under artificial breathing at the ICU of Jeetoo Hospital…

Miracle: The baby of 1 1/2yrs(whose mum died today) was thrown out of the car without any ‘egratignures’ but he is always crying and is not able to live with anyone at home(not even his dad)…

Fadilah-The 16yr old girl has dislocated arms and feet… Hossen came out of the coma 2 days back, Surma has a dislocated arm and stil under shock…Moonera is stil recuperating…

How many lives do we still have to lose on the road for people to become responsible drivers on the road???

This is a very sad case but still, just think of this small boy of 18months who will never ever see his mother in his life? who is crying out loud for his mother, day and night? and the husband who will have to explain to his son how his mother died?

Zaynah

Updated facts: Noushrina: The 10Year Old girl, who was in ‘coma’ since last saturday, breathed out this Sunday 21/01/2007 at the ISCU of Jeetoo Hospital…

Tentative time-tables (Yr 3 & 4)

+ you need to choose one elective (there’s an indicative list on my door)

Level 3:
Tuesday (1 to 4 pm): Contemporary issues in society (elective) – Dr R. Kasenally – Room 2.4

Important: Registration for modules will be closed 2 weeks after the beginning of semester (which starts on Monday 22nd BTW). So, please do the needful… Don’t make me chase you! Also, again, think carefully about which modules you want to register for. If you register for a module and are unable to complete it, you automatically get a failure and your CPA (cumulated point average for those who don’t know;-) goes down.

Addendum: Registration is technically already open, so you may start module registration right away!

2nd Addendum: I’ve added the names of the lecturers for your info as well as room numbers

More troops in Iraq..Stupid Bush!

Bush wants to send at least 20 000 troops in Irak to enforce security in Baghdad. This is the new, stupid policy of the US president for Iraq.
More Americans around 61% are against this new Iraq policy by Bush administration. No weapons of mass destruction n still George Bush is adamant on continuing his War on Terrorism. “Surgical strikes” we heard in the beginning of the war but the number of casualties + Iraqi deaths + those “suspects” at Guantanamo + death of American troops is far more than the number of persons killed in the September 11 attacks.

More troops is not the solution. This will in fact create more problems in Iraq, a country which is already on the verge of a Civil war.

In trying to be credible at any cost, George Bush is not winning his War on Terrorism. Militias n insurgency will not end with more American presence there. On the country they will grow faster.

Just hope the Democrats n the people of America win in their opposition against this policy!

BBC NEWS:

“I think this speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam if it’s carried out,” (Republican Senator Chuck Hagel)

LEXPRESS.fr

“On ne peut améliorer une guerre qui était, dès le début, illégitime et illégale”, a déclaré Sunsara Taylor porte-parole d’un mouvement appelé “Le monde ne peut attendre – Chassez le régime de Bush”.

Bond, James Bond

 

Saturday last I went to see this flick at Star3 Caudan. The Martin Campbell film started with less than 50 persons in the house. I was wrong wen I thought that I must b at least 30 mins before the scheduled time to secure a ticket.

I like the film and I give it a ⁰⁰ 7 stars rating. Daniel Craig is perfect in the MI6 agent role. Albeit the small role that Eva Green has, she is magnificent. Le Chiffre with his larmes de sang is dangerously good.

This movie sticks to its scenario and does nt show off. I explain: money is spent intelligently on the famous James Bond gadgets except for the Aston Martin that is crashed in the film. Aster mo konpran y Navin fell for that wow car.

The producers have wisely spent their money on beautiful outdoor locations namely Madagascar, The Bahamas etc. And see the final product: edge-of-the-seat action, beautifully written screenplay n gripping dialogues [( sa me grate un peu…vous voulez bien) for those who have seen the film], a handsome Bond and a delicious Eva Green.

Of course there r some flaws and after seein the film for the third time, I ve been able to unveil some. The stunts that r done by the Bond double are beautifully executed for e.g the crane sequence in Madagascar. But in some scenes we can see the face of the stuntman. The stuntman s face is not well camouflaged.

Secondly I personally think that some spicy sexy scenes are lackin in the flick. Those who r expectin hot scenes vont rester sur leur faim

This is the first film I ve seen this year and I like it despite the cost (Rs150 ticket price + popcorn + coke +pizza). Now pa koné si pou gagne letemps go to ciné wiz la rentrée behind the door and work.

 

See ya,
