Park be thy name

Jairam Ramesh, economist, once pointed out that doing business with South Korea was much easier (than with India) because either you were dealing with a Kim or with a Park! But the one Park who is turning on the heat is actually not in South Korea now. He is in England, and he plays for Manchester United.

Ji-Sung Park inspired Manchester United to a rousing victory at Craven Cottage, playing a pivotal role in each of the three goals they scored this afternoon. Incidentally, today marks the first time this season that the Reds have scored thrice in the Premiership.

First, with a brilliant run into the Fulham penalty box. Tripped. Penalty, which Ruud van Nistelrooy promptly converted. Then a fabulous assist to provide Wayne Rooney. And finally, foxing the goalkeeper to feed RvN, who tapped the ball into an empty net. The lanky Dutchman then turned to applaud Park, as if to say, "Mate, you've made our day!"

Indeed Park, you've made our day. Let's usher in the glory days once again. C'mon ye Reds!
