why is he ex?

Garnett is touring India and a few newshouses have reported it but one got its headline wrong

sad story and a surprising one

I learnt about the death of ex-India soccer captain V.P. Sathyan from the newspapers. It was sad to see such a great man end his life in such a targic manner. I remember Sathyan, Vijayan, Pappachan, Hemanta Dora, Bruno Cutinho as some of the players who represented India in the pre-Bhuita era. I used to [...]

dumb question

I cannot believe that individuals can have such dumb questions in “Ask Yahoo”. The answer is even dumber. There is no worth to buying soda at all. your money is just going down the drain….

bullshit

ok, here we have yet another incident of President Bush not being careful enough with his microphone. Should a person holding office be a model of perfection without mouthing expletives even when he is not attending a press conference or speaking to the public, cabinet, foreign PMs etc. It is natural for anyone [...]

you got to be kidding

Gabrielle Marcotti has written an insipid and ignorant column in sports illustrated today. His predictions reveal only one thing to me… he had either been in vacation from June 9 till today in a place where TV/radio or any other media hadn’t penetrated or he had just gotten out of coma…. How else can someone [...]

flying “high”

I read two news reports today about pilots and alcohol….
1. Air India crew stole Indian PM’s whisky
2. A Southwest co-pilot arrested for FUI
What a coincidence…..

tearful…

should a losing sportsperson cry or not? Adam Morrison of Gonzaga Basketball cried last year after his team lost in the NCAA tournament last year. Many NBA scouts questioned Adam Morrison’s ability to play under pressure after that incident. I think it is total rubbish to diss a sportperson for crying after a loss. The [...]

bye bye zizou

Italy won the world cup but zidane has occupied the front paragraph of almost every column. What provoked Zidane? Was it a racial slur or was it the fact that materazzi wanted to celebrate with Zidane’s sister. Whatever it was, it was uncalled for especially from a man of zidane’s calibre. I am not sure [...]

lost but will not be forgotten

Germany lost to Italy in the semi finals and are playing an inconsequential thrid place game against Portugal at the time of this writing. But all is not lost for Germany.  They had an exciting tournament and have made the nation stand up and notice them. Juergen Klinsman who looks fit as a fiiddle ( [...]

the ceiling shot….

I love playing racquetball. The feeling is unmatched when you run all the way from the backcourt and smack the ball against the wall leaving your opponent dazed. It is is like life – it always gives you chances. No point is gone until it is fully gone and no ball is dead until it is [...]
