Please help in whatever way you can. Since Gaurav Sabnis has said it so well, I will simply link there for more details. But please do help by contributing to the trust.

Down and out?
Yes, I am a touch late in welcoming the Poms to India but that’s because I was busy saying goodbye to the Pakistan team (lot of consoling that took after the ODIs!). Moreover, the Poms were busy enjoying the hospitality of India on and off the field.
On the field, they succeeded in winning [...]
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring the otherwise splendid (you’ll know why) Johnny Depp is made out to be a children’s film. It is anything but that.
For starters, Willy Wonka’s Wonka chocolates are fabulous. I’m not sure why. The world is in awe of them. For decades, the factory has been shut and now a [...]
India’s latest series win over Pakistan has left many-a-disullisioned fans with a rather fuzzy feeling. A feeling that seemed distant only a while ago. When India went to Pakistan, there was a quiet confidence about the teams fortunes among fans, but the first two Tests did leave most fans confused about what to expect. Add [...]
This is simply marvellous. Take a look at the photos and you will see that ordinary painting on the walls appears 3-D. Truly remarkable.

China is censoring everything in sight. Pretty soon, your thoughts could also be censored if you are in China! But the recent ban of certain sites and types of sites by Google (at the behest of the Govt) is a serious attack on the right to freedom. But then, that’s the fabric of the country.
To [...]
Proving all critics and naysayers wrong, Team India totally annihilated Pakistan in the third ODI quite the way Australia demolished Sri Lanka in the third final at Brisbane.
What takes the cake, though, is Dhoni’s mind-blowing 72* and the accolades (and advise) President General Pervez Musharraf gave him: Don’t cut your hair.
Imran Khan also had to [...]
I am questioning India’s tactics in the 3rd ODI against Pakistan at Lahore. Ajit Agarkar was substituted by Zaheer Khan in the 28th over of the Pakistan innings. A couple of questions related to this:
If Agarkar had bowled only 6 of his quota of 10 overs, why substitute him? He is also a frontline bowler.
It [...]
The queen of white is back. And she is as mushy, irritating and outdated as ever. In the presentation of her show anyways!
Last night (Feb 12), the wife and I decided to check out Simi aunty in the latest season of ‘Rendezvous’ and it was about 40 minutes wasted. I do like humor but only [...]
Bring out the champagne, for Pune has featured in a Top 10 after a long time. This, of course, not counting the top 10 cities or whatever surveys within India.
The reason to celebrate is Pune featuring in the top 10 (at 3) of the “World’s Top Emerging Cities for Business”. The survey by Forbes, no [...]
Complains of “… bad taste in mouth“.
Somewhere between Peshawar & Rawalpindi: I may have interpreted this wrong, and perhaps he was referring to the way he was given out against India in the first ODI at Peshawar. But I think he is referring more to the food available at Peshawar… notably the Namak Mandi and [...]
For over six months now, I have been lusting after cell phones. Many models (phone) have since come and gone and more are on their way. But I have staunchly stood by my trusty Nokia 6600. And why not? But for a few minor issues, this is as robust a phone as any you could [...]
This could be termed a little extreme, but if ‘convenience’ is what you yearn, you could do this. Your ‘call’!
Instructions for cooking an egg with your mobile phones!
That’s how many runs Pakistan beat India by. Plenty of heads are going to roll now… and for one, Sourav Ganguly won’t be in the middle of this. Messrs Chappell, Dravid and Co have a lot of answering to do.
No point going into the details of this shameful display. It would be stating the obvious. [...]
