India Vs Pakistan – Asia Cup
Should India play against Pakistan at all ? My answer is a “No” but then I don’t decide on these matters… glad we at least won the match.
Pakistan
The joke is on us !
Build up for POTUS has begun in earnest even as China uses anal swabs to test US diplomats for Covid. The Joke is on us unfortunately :(.
A good day that dipped and then got better !
In the morning today, I called the AMEX call centre as I wanted to convert one of my charges into EMI’s. I got to speak to Raman and just like every colleague of his that I have spoken to before, he just made me smile at the end of the call. He gave me the … Read more
How’s the Jaish ? All dead, Sir !!
For some strange reason, Krishnan and I woke up at 2 am in the morning today and then finally we were up at 4.30 am as we were starting our road trip to Pune. Little did we know then that just 80 mins after we woke up, our Air Force jets had just dropped 1000 … Read more
Pulwama – Never Forget, Never Forgive
On Feb 14th, supposedly the day of love, cowards from Pakistan’s terrorist cells attacked a CRPF convoy and 44 soldiers were martyred … The tricolour wrapped coffins hold the lifeless body parts of our soldiers killed in hatred not war.

I don’t want to waste time on Mani Shankar Aiyar…. His sublime “sneer” offends … Read more
The “awesome” Sikhs
I was brought up in a Sardar household since my dad’s boss was a Sardar and his daughter was my classmate. I obviously fell in love with the food and the near constant good cheer in the house. I learnt about all the Gurus and went to the Gurudwara more often than the temple (confession, … Read more
Hell’s address revealed
Today morning at about 8.15 or so, the world got to know Hell’s address and it was 1-4. Here’s the picture too – No it’s not funny. I started to pray for the Pakistani players because if they had lost all their wickets under 40 or 50 runs, they faced certain death back home. Playing … Read more
Muted TV helped India win today :):)
Even the most educated amongst us was trying some “lucky charm” or prayers or superstitious act today to make sure India wins the match against Pakistan at Adelaide. The fact that nearly 10000 people travelled to watch the match is something !! Many friends were watching the match together virtually, through Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and … Read more
