Drag-flick

I was watching the Champions Trophy Hockey, Pakistan vs Germany and the way the Germans attacked in waves was amazing. The penalty corner specialists were a delight to watch. The current penalty corner techniques used are so different from the old days of push, stop and shoot. Today its push, stop, deviate, pull back, control, drag, flick and high-5’s all-round.

When it comes to free kicks in football, we all know about Roberto Carlos and his bendy 'banana' free-kicks. I’m sure someone will definitely comment on Henry’s kicks.. puuf . Review on Dhiamarra by Maggie Furey : It’s another of those fantasy novels with magic ,adventure and Dragons .Here are a few points to ponder. Do keep in mind that the author is a lady. *The main character is Lady Aurian ,not only has she great power but is also a heroine of great energy and spirit. The downside is that she breaks down like every other chapter. *Aurian has a lot (on last count 13, I can count only till 13) friends and they were all men. Moreover they follow her everywhere …I mean everywhere. *Aurian hugs everyone and I mean everyone. *The evil character is another female who goes by the name lady Eliseth. *Thank the Lords that Death was not a “lady”. *Last but not the least all the Artifacts of power have gems,diamonds embedded in them. What's with that ? *And for the love of Gandalf people are supposed to die , but no Maggie aunty has other ideas. The characters won’t really be dead but that spark of life will remain and Aurian will heal them. Again and again and again... *The main adversaries whom the heroine tracks for ( 4 books ) are killed off in 2 pages. *Overall the plot was too feminine for my liking and it had a lot of sub-plots.
