And they did it again! They were cruising to a win with a 2-0 lead because of a good first half performance. And they managed to squander it away with poor defense in the second half and the final score was 2-2. A draw which feels like a defeat. A draw which is a defeat. And it's not because we play bad. It's because we have become used to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. We start strong, but we finish terribly. It's high time that Arsene Wenger's young guns mature and win games like this. Or that cupboard will lack silverware for another year. It has been 4 years now.An Arsenal fan will wait, but games like this will make the wait indefinite :-(.
PS : This is a post match reaction to today's Arsenal vs Westham united football match :-(

Being human!
Why is it so difficult to share sorrow?
Why have not those famous philosophers written about how to share grief? The civics class tells you that man is a social animal. But why don't they teach you about how to converse with someone in grief. Why does the only thing that comes to my mind are the words "I am so sorry for your loss". But when it comes to joy, you have abundance of greeting card captions! Why do poems like Solitude make sense?
After centuries of existence, we have been able to define the rules and regulations for being social. But have we figured out how to be human?
