The Chennai Superstars Shine…and Bhajji spins out of the Indian Premier League

The Chennai Superstars are playing really well, even without their superstar bowler Muttiah Muralitharan, and winning every match. In fact, they are the only team to have won four out of four. In every match a player has come good and led the team to a very competitive total. Very good work, till now. I […]

The Sunday Sagas – The Deccan Chargers Explode…and the King’s Men Deliver

Finally, yes finally, my favorite team the Deccan Chargers won a match, and that too most comprehensively than any other team in the Indian Premier League so far. I am proud of you, my boys! Kudos to Gilchrist for taking the Hyderabadi team to victory. What an innings he played, and also scoring the fastest […]

The Staid Saturday for the Indian Premier League

April 26, Saturday must have been the most boring day for all Indian Premier League enthusiasts. Two games were played and both of them were extremely one-sided. The Chennai Superstars got better of the Kolkata Knight Riders, and the surprise package of the tournament, the Rajasthan Royals completed a convincing victory over the clueless Royal […]

The IPL Gains Momentum…and cricket loses Speed

So much has happened in cricket in the past few days, that it is impossible to put it all in one single piece. Anyhow, let me begin with the match between the Deccan Chargers and Rajasthan Royals. I have not been able to figure out what is wrong with the Deccan Chargers. It is one […]

The Indian Premier League…Again…and some good-bad news

What is it with the IPL after all? The first day (or night), you get the highest score ever in T20, and the highest individual score. Brendon McCullum was devastating to say the least. His one and half hundred had 13 gigantic sixes, all of them lusty blows, depositing the ball well into the stands. […]

The IPL is unarguably the most hyped cricket event ever held. Even more than the World Cup! Players from all nations […]

Moti Mahal – Lots of History and Spices

I was not very well-acquainted with the brand Moti Mahal before they opened a branch in District Center in Janakpuri. My sister had once visited its branch in Noida and that is how I came to know of it.
For the uninitiated, Moti Mahal is one of the oldest and well-renowned Mughlai restaurants in India. […]
