I didn’t want to write about Priyanka Reddy. I believe it achieves nothing. I still feel the same. I stopped reading print media in 2012 after the Delhi case because I didn’t have the mental strength to go through the same gruesome headlines day after day. Every time something as heinous happens in our country, … More Ashamed and powerless

Yesterday evening was a gruelling experience. And that’s not because my rickshawala conned me into believing that he had change for ₹500 and wasted enough of my time to ensure I missed two jam packed locals. It was because it confirmed what I was suspecting for a long long time. That deep down, I still … More Rekindling my romance with Cricket

This meant that Manchester United’s revenues would be used to finance its own takeover! Naturally the fans weren’t happy but their … More Manchester United and the Glazers
A sportsperson is the closest we can get in the modern age to a gladiator. They fill seats with their passion, skill, bravado and fighting spirit to conjure up a spectacle befitting for the Gods.
