Happy National Sports Day India! Let’s celebrate
There are many sports played in India, some of Indian origin like Kabbaddi, Chess and Kho-kho. Kabbadi Pro League has managed to uplift the sport, and Chess had Vishy Anand hold the baton. Kho-kho has been losing its sheen, and so are many other sports.

A breakfast ride to Lonavala – first ride for Yeti
So this Breakfast Ride happened with no real plan in place. All of those times when we planned, it never worked out. Ironic, I know. I also know what you are thinking – asia hi hota hai hamesha (it happens always)! My good friends from my workplace, Vishnu and Karan just randomly called me up…

So, cricket happens to you
I have a love and hate affair with cricket – no, I do not hate it when India looses unlike the cricket fanatics in a cricket-mad country, where cricket is a religion. And Sachin Tendulkar is not a demi-god, but “god” himself. Ya right, you also have temples for both Rajnikant and Amitabh Bacchan so…

Praise them and kick them
The Media is seemingly playing games. I fail to understand that why are they doing this. Ofcourse there was a reason to worry but why such hysteria?

Finally, a smirk back in face
India’s loss against England comes as an eye opener and I am just happy that it happened. Team India was flying with some over confidence and it was a bit too much for the selectors to ignore the experienced players. Ideally, having Sachin in team adds much value than having him on the stands. He…

Its my favorite team in Finals: I just love the moment
Having been considered as this year’s back benchers, Royal Challengers pulled up their socks and now are in the finals of the second edition of IPL. To be frank, I lost interest when they were on the waining way in the initial days and was not eager to watch the IPL matchs. When the news…

The Clash of the Titans: The Politians and IPL
Its the clash of Titans in a game of one’s self. Only, the games are different. One is the game called politics, other is the Twenty20. This year is critical for all the politicos because of complex dynamics and no clear winner in the vicinity. Venkaiah Naidu has publicly acknowledge that IPL’s date clashing with…
