IPL: The LED TV that has gotten Old
Recently I bought this amazing LED TV. It was 42 inches of pure visual delight. I remember being completely bowled over by it. TV viewing was suddenly a whole new experience.

Venky floors Viru, almost!
The Sports Day of Sri Venkateswara College would probably have never witnessed an attendance of such magnitude as it did this year.

So Jammy won’t be Jammin’ any more
First thing first: I am NOT a Rahul Dravid fan. Never liked him much, except for the general sense of appreciation one has towards a good cricketer of one’s own country. And on top of that, after his captaincy during one Greg Chappell’s tenure as coach, and all the controversies which spurted up at...
Racism Out!
Try as the authorities may, the multi-headed demon of racism repeatedly rears its very ugly head in football. It takes all the continents of the world in its ambit, dampening the very feel-good aspect of ‘the beautiful game’. Think back to a recent past when Manchester United played Liverpool at Anfield and the infamous incident...
