flower girl
It was a week back. Me and a 'couple' of dear friends were travelling in a rick towards Juhu. Below the Andheri bridge, the rick screeched to a halt at the signal. A ten year old girl, with a bunch of a dozen roses, came towards us with a cheery smile and glittering kohl lined eyes. Seeing the pretty couple in the rick, she had found the right cust... more...

Enough is enough!!
Mumbai was rocked again a few days back. It was heart-wrenching to read about Mumbai blasts. Sitting here in the comforts of my office I cannot gauge the magnitude of the loss caused to the people who lost their loved ones. One thing I know, I was deeply moved by the tragic event. A sudden and untimely death of a family member can be the saddest th... more...

Life has ways to make you humble when you think you have outgrown your shoes.It comes in ways you expect least but teaches you the lesson which would be hard to forget.It was Sunday noon and sun as is the case these days,was glaring down mercilessly.Me and some mates had just had our luch in a restaurant (Well, i know it's a bit of an overstatement... more...

Perform or Perish
I got up on the wrong side of the bed is no longer an acceptable excuse.Every responsibility comes with a price tag of expectations.If you do not live up, you got to go.The indian cricket learned it the hard way.The recent BCCI diktat has its foundation in the same theory.You earn in proportion of what you give.Things can't be served on a platter f... more...

Level Playing Field
 The T20 Championship has opened the eyes of many. In its own way it has also shown up the limitations of the 50 overs format. The shorter format means that the sides are more evenly matched than in the 50 overs format. And in the event of a one-sided contest, the whole thing gets over in 3 hours – it doesn't drag on for a whole day.Test cricket is...  more...
