| Monkey Calls and other things | |
| Recently the Press is full of reports about the bad behaviour of our cricket spectators. Yes! the targeting of Symonds crossed boundaries of decency on several occasions. But there is one thing I do not agree with! That this amounted to racist behaviour. What is racism? It is discriminating on the basis of colour and or nationality or origin. Cal...

| If we had lost | |
| Well the 20/20 has been won and the whole country is in celebration. Like all of you I am also enjoying the jubilation and the joy. Overnight, the bunch of young cricketers have become national heroes. Sometimes one pauses to think- what if Sreesaanth had dropped that catch and Pak had won? Given our Indian psyche, which knows only heaven and hell...

So, gents, do thro...

| Gratitude of the down trodden | |
| Some years back I was in Lucknow with family for a holiday. After seeing the Bada Maqbara, we wanted to go to Hazratganj, the city centre. I hailed a Cycle rickshaw but changed my mind when I saw that the rickshaw puller was a frail old man. We were two adults and two children and I thought the load would be too much for him. I then asked a younger...
