I don’t think they have the large and clean hearts that Allah has given us,” Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi once said. The uproar this statement created in the Indian media was obvious.

Think of safe, it’s fatal. A trip on the Bangalore-Mysore highway is sure to send jitters down your spine if you exceed your speed limit. Think eighty and you’ve had it.

With the Pakistan interior minister Rehman Malik warning his players to stay away from match fixing, speculation is rife. If Pakistan loses, Malik can hide behind the loss by saying his winning team lost because there was more money to be made in match fixing. If Pakistan wins, he can always say that match fixing …
It’s official. India takes on Pakistan come Wednesday, March 30th. Beating Australia by 5 wickets convincingly has given TEAM iNDIA an edge. After all, they have beaten three-time world champions.

I am an Australian, and in 1991, I was still looking forward to my …
Here are a few budget reactions from the corporate world sent to me by the respective PR agencies. While some are lauding Pranab, others are not too happy with him. As a layman, I am only happy with Pranab for making it a rural-focussed budget. After all, a large part of India still resides in …
Entertainment ke liye kuch bhi karega. That’s the reality show on Sony TV and not my clever one-liner.
