The day SRT retires , this nation will put aside all other issues plaguing it and mourn . The day SRT retires , this nation must remember that every time he took to the crease , there was renewed hope in everyone's heart . The day SRT retires , this nation must not forget that for longer than most of us have been alive , one man has been giving millions of people a reason to smile . The day SRT retires , this nation must celebrate the career of a man , no , of the god . The day SRT retires , this nation will realise that at age 38 one man scored 200 runs in a game . This nation will realise that age has nothing to do performance . The day SRT retires , people in news studios will say that it was about time . That he struggled against England and Australia . That he should have gone out on a high . The day SRT retires , the critics will realize that it doesn't get any higher than 34,000 international runs . 100 international centuries . 199 international wickets and 254 internat...

Last week apple won its biggest court Case yet against Samsung . A California court ruled that samsung infringed three apple patents and must pay apple 1.05 billion dollars in compensation . The jury also allowed apple to list the samsung devices it wants to be banned in the USA . While that will be decided in a separate session sometime in December , the ruling itself came as a big shot in the arm for apple and a bigger body blow to Samsung . Many people have viewed the legal battle these two giants are fighting in many different ways . One school of thought is that the consumer will end up bearing the brunt of this verdict because Samsung will price its products higher in order to make up the money it has been asked to pay . While that seems to be a very obvious answer , it's not entirely true . For a huge company like Samsung , one billion dollars is not an amount big enough to set alarm bells ringing . It's embarrassing . Yes . Not financially hurtful though . So in all pro...

Over the years , tika-taka whether by barca or the Spanish national team , has bored me to levels unimaginable . So much short passing that in the final analysis , that graphic of passes completed looks like a board scratched with chalk by a mischievous young kid .It's a simple game . They pass the ball around , draw the opposition midfield out of position and their midfield maestros find a pass straight to their forward , who has the monotonous job of kicking the ball past the keeper . It's a challenge playing that way and both these teams deserve credit for playing that way no matter what the situation . To stick to your philosophy in any situation is commendable . But that strength is perhaps their greatest weakness . The incapacity to adapt . The reluctance to change . The inflexibility within . Both barca and Spain are dependent ,heavily ,on xavi and inesta for those lovely throughballs . Barca have messi to finish the move off while Spain have quality in Torres and vi...

I've said this before in a post and I'll say it again . Petrol price hikes are good . I don't intend to defend anything this government might have done or , for that matter , might not have done . But let's just put this price hike in perspective . Here's a bunch of people ( a very very large bunch ) spending lakhs of rupees on cars ,polluting the skies , crowding the roads ( yes me included ) . Popularly misnamed , the aam aadmi . Now that bunch , obviously , wants petrol to be available in every ration shop at 10 liters for 20 bucks and service with a smile . Here's the counter argument . The supreme court of India made it mandatory to teach students from class 8 to first year engineering a subject by the name environmental education . And for 6 years student learn that fossil fuels are the worst enemy of human kind even ahead of the late Osama bin laden . For that reason it is great that petrol prices are up . Simply because , like i've said in a previo...
