I sometimes feel pity on the people who equate the Indian cricketers as gods, sultans and walls. It’s all about money, honey! G.B. Shaw rightly said once “Cricket is a game played by eleven fools and watched by eleven thousand others”. The first figure still remains the same while the second has changed to [...]

The flying fairies have done it again. So did the boxers. And Rowers. And Swimmers. And Wrestlers. And Shooters. Indian sports men did a commendable job at Asiad with a total of 64 medals including 14 golds (till the time this post was written). The best thing in this show was that the Indian [...]
