   Bat, Ball and Blood [29/09 02:17PM]   
(1) comments,   (0) trackbacks
There is a battle of sorts which has just ended in India's biggest Cricket boardroom. Bloodless battle, if one would call it. But while the managers have displayed amazing grace in handling responsibilities, the men in flannels seem to be getting uncouth by the day. No, its not Bhajji's slap. But Sehwag's verbal battle and walk out during the recently concluded Irani finals.

(59) comments,   (0) trackbacks
Did any one for a moment believe that if the Nano project had to driven any where else but Singur, it would have been Maharashtra? If anyone did, I love their sense of humor. No sooner had reports of "no hope in sight" for Tata's Nano in Singur hit the headlines, politicians and governments could be seen clamoring over each other, offering their state and their Big heart for the small car.
