A PAGE FROM MY CAMP DIARY (PART 2)

“We give you free food, we give free clothes, what more do you want?” asked the dark lanky Camp Commandant. “Money Sir!” we replied in chorus. “We put you in 5 star hotel, we provided light and water for you, what more do you want?” again he asked, and as usual we echoed “Money Sir!” “We give you money, what more do you want?” he asked “More Money Sir!” we replied.

It was one of those cold mornings, we slept late the previous night, thanks to some unending and yet unnecessary arguments in the room. Few hours into dreamland I’m awaken by loud bangs on the bunks and a false fire cry. Everyone runs out with little or no time to dress properly. While some run out with buckets of water, some run out in their night wears and others run out with their luggage.
I'm forced out of bed at about 2:00am courtesy of a fire drill and assembled at the Parade ground, which serves as a muster point, while officials come to take roll-call.

GERMANY WILL WIN THE 2014 WORLD CUP, PREDICTS FIFA VIDEO GAME


Sorry, Brazil -- the next World Cup winner won’t be the host country.
So says EA Sports, at least.

The company simulated the upcoming World Cup using their 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil game, running all 32 teams through the brackets in an effort to predict the winner. In an exceptionally tight finale, Germany edged out Brazil 2-1, earning their fourth World Cup title and becoming the first European country to win it in South America.
