It has been exciting couple of weeks after the recent edition of IPL that started in SA. So who r the stars of this IPL and the teams that will go all the way??1) Kamran KhanOne person who is really showing promise is the left armer Kamran Khan. This guy cost Royals only Rs 12lakh!!!Warne's knack of identifying and promoting talent is amazing. This 18year old comes from a very poor background and

I still remember when I heard for the first time SPB singing "mannil indha kadhal inri" from "Keladi Kanmani" and hearing in TV and newspapers that may be this was first time anyone had sung such a tough song catching his breath throught the entire pallavi! Of course he also gasps and acts of shortness of breath after singing in the movie and someone suggested that all this may be an act or the

I have always had a big liking for songs with patriotic lyrics and tunes. Over the years AR Rehman has become a master of composing tunes to such patriotic songs, which really makes you get goosebumps when you listen to them. One such song is from Swades, "Yeh Jo Des hai tera"....the beauty of the song not only lies in the slow build-up but also in the crescendo it reaches...typically

Whenever I think of our cricket team and their team spirit...this famous joke comes to my mindThis is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it wasEverybody's job. Everybody thought

It is time to wonder what some of our cricketers are doing after they came back from South africa1) Virender Sehwag : He just hit a "blazing" century in a small ground between a sugarcane field in Delhi and according to the reporter "He has announced hisclear intentions to the selectors for a comeback". It is to be noted that after the match he drank some sugarcane juice and shouted Pongalo

I don't think there is any need to be critical of thisIndian team...In fact statistics show that they haveclearly improved with every game. After losing the second ODI by more than 150 runs and the third by morethan 100, the boys cut down on the losses a bit in thefourth, bringing the margin down to 80!Unfortunately according to this calculation we will have a win possibility only after 30

Flashback: In sharjah against Australia 1997-98 Tendulkar hits 143 against the Aussies giving Warne nightmares. During that amazing innings one of the many times Tendulkar danced down the tracks and thrashed every bowler around him, I just froze with wonder at the amazing sight of perfection with elegance, beauty par excellence, drowning in the flood of unbridled joy, a single tear drop crept
