Four matches, two almost-knockout and we are nearing the do-or-die stages of the 2006 FIFA World CupTM
Group A is pretty much sorted with Germany and Ecuador on 6 points each and no chance for anyone else to go through. Their match would in effect be important in deciding who they play in the second round. [...]

Didn't they also have a Google-killer, an Apple-killer (on the whole) and a killer OS? Wait, that's Windows… and that's more like a computer-killer!

This is one rich guy. Considering Rahul Mahajan has not had a sustained career to save up the kind of money he spends, one would have to question where the money came from. Did daddy-dearest leave behind a huge trust fund? Or is it a result of the public secret called 'favours'.
There are also rumors [...]
Just about 10 matches and the World Cup is well and truly kicking! The best matches so far would be a close contest between Germany and Costa Rica and the more recent Mexico v Iran one. Yes, the Swedes got an early shock being held to a 0-0 draw by lowly Trinidad and Tobago, and [...]
So the action kicks off today! And who will lift the cup? Brazil? I don't think so. It's actually more like I don't hope so. I've had enough of Brazil is this and that… they may be all this and all that, but frankly, it's time someone else lifted the cup. Three consecutive finals (94, [...]
Perhaps a better headline was not written in this context. I also agree with most things that have been said in the article. Well said!

I am not as well informed about these matters, perhaps but even to the naive eye, the answer to the first question on the linked page (below) would seem absurd… or is it?
Is there something I don’t know?

This, the last bastion of easy jobs. Has been. Breached. What next? Would the IT industry also pay taxes some day? Alas…

So even the docs in they city agree that Mumbai has the worst roads. Bad enough that they won’t let a heart patient travel on them.
What about trains? Can he take the train to Andheri from Virar? There is a fast one, you see…

So Brian Lara goes scot-free while Virender Sehwag is fined for excessive appealing? And that too, because he celebrated before the batsman was formally declared out.
Can someone explain that to me please?
After his rather unacceptable behaviour (I am taking it easy) on the field on the fourth afternoon of the first Test against India at St John's, Antigua, Brian Lara should be disciplined. Unfortunately, non-subcontinent players have often had it easy with match referees. Remember Michael Slater's outburst against the umpire and players?
But what Lara did [...]
The smiling assassin has done it again! The way he decimated the English was awesome. Let’s hope Kumble can do something similar for India in Antigua on Tuesday.
Amen!

Heard this morning on CNN-IBN at around 8 am in a report about the Petrol price hike.
The reporter from Mumbai has reported how the diesel price hike would affect the fishing community and all and how commodity prices would go up. And then we are in Kolkata. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the reporter's name… he [...]
