I was about to title this ‘Why I don’t like Sachin Tendulkar?’ but refrained from so because I thought that would be a bit exaggerated as I have always adored him as a batsman from the time I started understanding cricket. However, I firmly believe that both brand and person Sachin Tendulkar has made me […]

Now that the sports minister Ajay Maken is fighting tooth and nail to have the richest sports body in India under government control, the controversy is getting hotter and hotter. Yesterday, the sacked IPL commissioner Lalit Modi spoke on Times Now that the government should be kept out of an autonomous body like the Board […]

First, I am not furious or shocked to see India go down 3-0 in the England series (In the next 4 days, it could very well be 4-0 England) It’s just as natural to lose as it is to win. There’s not a test team in the world that hasn’t suffered a whitewash and there’s […]

It has not come entirely as a shock to me. Neither was I expecting it to happen. It is certainly a shocking piece of news, nevertheless. It is an unprecedented attack on cricketers, though not on sportsmen by and large. One can never erase the Munich Massacre from his mind – an incident that left […]

India’s tour to New Zealand has always been a bit special. India-NZ are not traditional rivals like India-Pak or Aus-NZ, but there have always been a profound rivalry between the two teams. India undoubtedly has a poor record in New Zealand. The last time India visited NZ they just managed to win 2 out of […]

Tiger! Tiger!

Aravaind Adiga has done amazing well to describe the many faces of our multi-hued state (pun intended). He narrates the story of a villager who is recruited as a driver with […]

There is something about Sundays, for everyone. School-going kids get to sleep till their heart’s content and working population gets to sleep as well, apart from clean the house and catching up with their friends, not to mention shopping and eating out.
For me, Sunday is usually another day at work (from home), but of course […]

Like Kumble, Ganguly was also a part of my growing years. I still vaguely and excitedly remember watching him taking off his helmet when he reached his century at Lord’s. In those times, when cable TV was a luxury to have and often considered bad for school-going kids like me, I usually relied on 9 […]

He conquers who endures.
~Persius
Since there was no contribution from anyone else today, I thought I would write briefly on the book that I am reading right now – Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish. But I guess that will come another day, as there is a piece of news that has inspired me write on something […]

I was sitting with two associates/friends of mine last evening in a restaurant and having a sip or two, and of course discussing many issues and strategies. Behind one of the friend, on a semi-giant TV screen, I could watch the Test match between India and Sri Lanka. There is nothing much to said about […]
