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 […]

Ok, Lionel Messi has landed last night at about 3 in India, 3:15 to be precise. I have heard that there were thousands of Messi fans outside the International terminal at Kolkata Airport to catch a glimpse of FIFA player of the year.

It is not too often that you come across a human figure that defies every principle of humanity, is consumed in self-absorption, and barbarism is his way of life.
