IPL – 5

Alright folks, the 5th season of the Indian Premier League is going to start in another hour from now. The first match surely promises to be a superhit – Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians. Wish I was in Chennai to view the spectacle, but we mere mortals have offices to go to and target [...]

Petrol and the Common Man

Today’s news flash read – “Petrol prices slashed to Rs. 55 in Goa”. For a moment I couldn’t believe what I read. When the prices for this so-called green fuel are going up all over the world and more so all over in India, how could there be a reduction in Goa. Was this just [...]

IPL and its Click Moments

The Indian Premier League is in its 4th season, of course minus Lalit Modi (The Czar of IPL) courtesy BCCI. I am not sure whether getting him out has helped reduce the corruption in IPL, but one thing is for sure it has reduced the oomph out of IPL. Of course IPL is catching people’s [...]

Save the Indian National Animal

Superstitions

“I was supporting SL, because whenever I supported India they lose, it is a superstition and it worked again today”, were the words of the Man of the Match of the ODI between SriLanka and India at Rajkot, December 15, 2009 (A lot of time ago). The man was Virender Sehwag. Don’t these words get [...]
