Other Sports in India (i.e, All Sports (minus) Cricket)
Let’s not bother complaining about popularity of other sports in India. Let’s just enjoy cricket. Only cricket.
Yes, you heard that right.
Let’s not bother.
On the eve of the kickoff of the Hockey World Cup in New Delhi, multiple thoughts cross my mind. First and foremost, how many Indians know that a hockey world cup is going [...]
Sachin 200-dulkar - The Master
I was a 14 year old teenager, who had just finished his Xth board exams when I watched an innings. An innings I would remember for a long long time. In a bad way.
It was the 1997 India-Pakistan match at the Chepauk stadium. A lot of hype was built around the match in line with [...]
Hola!
So, yeah. I apologise.
For what, you ask?
Well, for people who didn’t notice, I apologise for not enlightening your minds with my blogposts
For people who did notice, I was going through a unique meta-state where ‘everything was happening and nothing was happening, eventually leading to a static null and void state of mind’. It’s [...]
Passion for Cinema - 1 minute movies - Brilliant!
Yesterday, I accidentally came across the 1 minute movie festival that was happening in India. Thankfully, all videos are uploaded on Youtube. There is an Open Section (which is non-competitive) and a Competitive section (no explanation required). I watched all movies in the Competitive section and selected the best I liked. I didn’t watch all [...]

The plight of 26/11 - courtesy, Moron Media productions
Misogyny and barbarism in the guise of a holy war took an ugly turn on 26/11/2008 when 10 terrorists rocked Mumbai with their heinous strategies and merciless killing. Over 170 people died and many others injured in this brazen attack. 9 out of 10 terrorists were killed and the lone terrorist alive, Kasab, is currently [...]
Sachin ‘Twenty’dulkar
Only a few sportsmen in the entire recorded history can lay claim to the ‘Legend’ status. Of those few, there remain only a handful who have attained ’super-natural iconic’ status - Diego Maradona, Don Bradman, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer among others. But none of these sportsmen have played with consistency and enthralled millions over a [...]
Cricket Commentary and Commentators
The common complaint nowadays while watching cricket, apart from India losing, is the extent to which the standards of commentating a cricket match have fallen. I agree, but only partly.
Some of the great moments in the game have been wonderfully captured by equally good, if not great commentary of those times. I still recall vividly [...]
The World of ‘Jargon’ia - Redux
My earlier post on Jargons
It is about time I update my list of jargons. I mean, its been 2 long years in the corporate world since the last jargon-ic blogpost, and you can be dead sure I have been inundated with jargons in this time. In this blogpost, I present my humble view on what I [...]
