When you say things because you can afford to...

I scored all of 829 out of 1200 in my school finals. It was, is and will be the abyss any one from my glorious Tambram family would ever manage to beat. Unless my son Anirudhha decides to make me proud.

When cricinfo says you were to be the all rounder BCCI was searching for and you just missed the bus, the crap you talk is worth a few carats...

It gets even better when you become the MOM of a T20 encounter, bowling what they call a "Quasi military not so medium"...

You can talk Chotu

KEEP TALKING*...

Till you get plastered, soon...
