And you know you're half crazy when you wake up from your sleep , in the middle of the night,  with a song in your head and start scribbling randomly the pictorial lyrics of the song. For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity. -Jean Dubuffet

The Upper Storey...

It's hard overcoming a writer's block. You come up with many ideas and have no clue how to proceed with them. Frustrating times. English exams in school were fun. Especially the language ones. I got to write stories, and every time, every exam, from class six to my boards, I would end up writing a ghost story. It was a fascination for me, one that my teacher's greatly disliked.

Snapped up by a gleeful Juventus, Pirlo proceeded to lead the struggling squad to an unprecedented league winning run, where they went unbeaten in all their 38 league games. Andrea Pirlo, playing 37 of them. Such is his power. In a world, ruled by the awe inspiring flair of the Messi's and the Ronaldo's, Andrea Pirlo's quiet genius, has probably gone under-appreciated. Possibly, THE best deep lying playmaker of his generation, that included stalwarts of the game like Partick Vieira, Pep Gaurdiola, Paul Scholes. Andrea Pirlo, with his quiet determination, and oodles of creativity, has gone about his job in the most professional and graceful manner over the years, inspiring a whole new generation of footballers.
