Scribe ergo sum ego. In God’s own Country- Kochi. Kochi is not just. Place I grew up in, Kochi is. One of our favorite pastimes during the Monsoon season was to make paper boats and play with it in the puddles on the roads and in my backyard.

A Mallu’s routine would be momentarily disrupted thrice in a year by three major festivals. Onam...

https://writerontherocks.wordpress.com/2014/11/08/how-judgey-are-you
Writer on the rocks. My weekly glass of Vodka! How judgey are you? Posted in La Vida. And there it is – Judgement, which I firmly believe, is the bane of our existence. We are all surrounded by people who constantly judge us on the way we think, the way we act, the way we approach situations. every minute of every day, and are also unfortunately officious enough to keep telling us what they think we should do! This is an endless vicious circle…. I’m not sure that anyone is an exception to this rule...

On a certain September 10th, when the rains were pouring down here in India, the “Cricket Monsoon” had started elsewhere in a land far away from here in South Africa.

An Armchair Cricket Fan's Thoughts!: "Switching" off the leg stump in LBW's
http://scribbles-on-cricket.blogspot.com/2012/05/switching-off-leg-stump-in-lbws.html
An Armchair Cricket Fan's Thoughts! Where We Hang Out (separately, tho ;). May 16, 2012. Switching" off the leg stump in LBW's. For why this change in rule is to be welcomed. As for me, the proposed change gives me an opportunity to have a re-look at the LBW rule in general. The claim also applies to left-arm quick bowlers and orthodox spinners bowling over the wicket to right-handed batsmen, and right-arm quick bowlers and leg spinners bowling over the wicket to left-handed batsmen. And given - as I hav...

http://scribbles-on-cricket.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
An Armchair Cricket Fan's Thoughts! Where We Hang Out (separately, tho ;). March 30, 2010. The meaning of 'now' - and Pakistan cricket! Mohammad Yousuf’s love affair with retirement, at least from the Pakistan cricket international outfit, puzzles me. And with his most recent statement the puzzle has turned into downright confusion and one does not really know what to say when a player as accomplished as Yousuf says he is. 8220;retiring for now! Ard's inconsistency and capriciousness in making decisions.
