A Walk with the Tigers

Tiger! Tiger!

I am in the midst of reading The White Tiger, and I am admittedly totally awe-struck with the Man Booker Prize winning novella. 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 […]

The Sporting Sunday

I had wished for a better Sunday. Not a day when I would see India and Federer lose their respective matches. Once Sri Lanka scored 270-odd I had sensed that India would lose this match, because of the Spin threat Sri Lanka had and because of India’s ability to lose crunch […]
