What will be the state of Indian cricket when Chappell leaves? All the contenders for the post waxed eloquent about the challenges the role poses for them.

Sunday, October 15, 2006. City tales in culture village. It rained heavily at Heggodu, this culture camp,. It rained words, big and small,. Words from stalwarts, pretenders and all. The culture village was made up,. Dressed-up hearty and hale,. To pry on matters of its bully,. To listen to the city’s tale. Covers were off, to begin,. And a pantheon of wisdom revealed,. A reflection of a glorious past,. Dusted, sparkling and cleaned. Standing in for URA,. Whom Frankfurt lured with books;. Keeram watched, ...

Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Who’s that knocking down the door? There’s a scene in Taxi Driver where Travis Bickle, the lonely, wannabe-messiah, stares at an urchin outside a New York café while the camera follows his cold, yet burning, eyes. Martin Scorsese delivers a hammerblow of a scene which suggests his protagonist’s naiveté. This naiveté marks much of. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Off the mark Headline Animator.

Tuesday, August 15, 2006. Steve Waugh debunks this theory (though it wouldn’t matter to him whether he does so or not) on two counts. Firstly, by detailing his schoolboy-reputation as being a gifted player, and two, promising that behind Mark Waugh’s careless expression lay a tense, contemplative mind. His family forms the basis for many a chapter as he paints an emotional picture of the difficult times away from his wife and children, even though they invariably were exhilarating ones on the field. ...

Thursday, July 28, 2005. Reading a book written almost four decades earlier is quite often a frustrating experience. Bad novels remain bad with more dust on their covers, but even good works tend to lose credibility as time makes them look haggard. This leaves us with very few books that still carry that rare character of mystery to a first time reader.
