A candle lit dinner and a fabulous game

Saturday was Earth Hour. It meant most people in the know shut off their lights between 8:30pm and 9:30pm to save energy and to show solidarity with the energy conservation movement that's gathering momentum all across the globe.

I was pleasantly surprised to see 90% of my apartment complex go dark and stay that way for the entire hour. And since it is slap bang in the middle of dinner time for most Indians, we had a nice dinner in candle light. Not the least bit romantic, but functional nonetheless.

What followed was the match between ManU and Bolton where Berba showed all his detractors why is is worth the money paid for him. His beautiful control over the ball, a couple of amazing flicks (one which was ridiculously hard to do and was saved by Jaaskelienen) and then a couple of goals. But the highlight was the completely stupid own goal by the Bolton defender who neatly slotted the ball into the far corner of his own net.

A nice game, a return to the top of the league table and a delicious match to look forward to when we host Chelsea next week. Hope we get over the exertions of Champions League football since we are on the way to Bayern Munich on wednesday.

All the best, United. Two more cups to go!
