Jabulani is a Zulu word meaning "rejoice". It is often used as a first name, and in that context is often shortened to "Jabu".

Its about time the football fever drains off . As we are close to the end of making of a tiny bit of perfectly exquisite history . It has been a fearful month of anxiety..hate to make the comparison but everyone irrespective of the sex has gone through a series of hormone triggered emotions like a pregnant woman..only not as scary . You might think why am I writing this even before the finals but the team I support got out in the semis . Ze Germans put up a very strong front and the defense as far as I reckon was rock hard but the Spaniards were impregnable .
Albeit soccer is a fun game , even for those who do not follow every inch of it every year or those who watch it once in four years (count me in for both). The sound of World Cup in itself indicates a very huge convention universally,at least mentally if not physically . Its a marvelous excuse to avoid the slow death in your morbid workplaces or cut yourself from the lifetime supply of traumatizing misadventures . In my case it was an icing in my choco-vanilla cake as the final term of engineering got over and the next day onwards it was the Jabulani .
The month long rejoice was a much needed welcome after being victim to all the culinary procedures ( inclusive of grilling , heating , stirring , cutting and boiling ) for four long years...
Now this reminds of the cabbage's wrath...ohh deviation is my weakness . That is a different story which delves deep in the roots of Roman mythology and in no way relevant to the presiding topic .
Coincidence it has to be . It is the end of a seemingly big thing ( ie your college) and the beginning of one even bigger ( your actual life) .. And what is better than kicking it off with some frolic , adrenaline rush and the Jabulani .
Cheers

may the best win and may the octopus be cooked up in a furnace
