The Hope of Audacity

27th November, 2008. Prime time television in India changed for ever today. It is not the never ending soap operas, it is not the quickly ending twenty-twenty cricket match, it is something that India never thought it would watch from their couches.

It was fun because I had never witnessed, in person, the off-field entertainment aspect of the sport. Shaan (a super-hit singer from the Hindi filmdom) performed live on the far end of the [...]

The first phase of elections in Karnataka is today and Bangalore is one area that goes to poll. Looking (and driving) around it is impossible to tell today apart from any other given Saturday (of course the booze joints, euphemistically called “Wine Shops” in Bangalore are shut). Some reports say the polling is 12%, which [...]
The Indian Premier League

The IPL is at its halfway stage. For the duration that it has been on air, the tournament has re-written television habits of Indians besides altering the cricketing habits of a few T20-migrant cricketers.
