BCCI and Indian players
Check this out:http://cricket.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2005163.c msIt is amazing how shameless our Indian cricketers are. They are demanding a raise after the world cup debacle. Their excuse - we have only lost a world cup game, we haven't fixed a match or anything. Downright appalling. I'd say - we could ruthlessly can the following guys:1) Sachi... more...

The Namesake
Alright, my mind was piqued after a hiatus of 5 months. Too much latency huh? Saw this movie that all blogs and reviewers were raving about. I mean 'The Namesake'. For someone, who hasn't read Jhumpa Lahiri's novel, this movie will be a revelation. Quite a splendid rendition of a long book in 2 concise hours. But that is where my gripe with Mira... more...

Paint my love
As Michael Learns to Rock once crooned - Since you came into my life the days before all fade to black and white, since you came into my life, everything has changed. Ah - the tribulation of being a coloured person - neither white nor black - neither western nor oriental. I write this blog on the heels of my previous blog - a rant against ra... more...

Racist Aussies
If you're as avid a cricket fan as I am, you will doubtless have admired Australian cricket. Their cricketers can absolutely sleep-walk into any international XI. Their individual talents are breathtaking and as a collective whole, they are lethal as the cricketing fraternity has discovered. These admirable qualities however end on the field and pe... more...

Lay off the President
I wish there were no post in a democracy, wherein a certain figurehead would not be answerable to anyone. I refer to the Supreme Commander of our armed forces. Make no mistake. Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam is a wonderful human being. He was one of the leading contributors to our nation's nuclear programme. He is arguably the most popular President in Indi... more...

Baap re baap
Ever wonder, how many people in the world get such a headstart in life because their moms or dads made it big. If the child decides to pursue the same career as the parents, there are 3 possibilities:1) The offspring is equally or more talented than his/her parents and usually outshines them.2) The offspring is not as talented as the parents and si... more...

Clemency for criminals
It has always troubled me, when people in high offices plead clemency for criminals that deserve to hang. You all know what I'm referring to. I consider it a national shame that even our President entertains the kin of such folk. If the crime is as heinous as attack and murder of innocents in a megapolis or an affront as serious as an attack on... more...

bin Laden dead? Bah - Humbug!!!
If you've lived in the US, you will find a strange co-incidence with happenings in the world of geo-politics and the world encompassed by global terror. It's just a month and a fortnight away before mid-term elections to the Senate and the House are scheduled. Voila - comes the bombshell of bin Laden's death. Every time - Dubya's rating takes a dip... more...
