The day it was…

A day when that loud TV news channel hostess won yet another award many of us don’t care or know about…

A day when Michael Vaughan’s* masterpieces went on display in Harrods in London…

A day when India remembered yet another group of dead, from Bhopal today. For, there were TV channels waiting to show you make expressions like you cared for them…

ULFA from Assam are done, everyone would surrender and we would talk. That is what the Indian government said today…

And the Indian politicians were discussing about Copenhagen and climate change in the parliament today…

But the climate doesn’t seem like changing…

At least in Sehwag’s kingdom it was of the same intensity…

Bigger & better in fact, brutal, murderous yet appealing….

Where will it go from here tomorrow ?

Brian Lara would be more interested to know. More than you and me

*He paints… Sehwag plasters !!

Return

B the moment of the match

Again from outside the match

This time from a Padma Shri filled secular news television channel's post IPL sports capsule with a baby faced former cricketer.

Cut to my television

Intro of the program, with visuals of the key moments (read fours, sixes and wickets) of the match and the announcer blazes away...

Visual: Robin Uthappa hitting Bravo out of the park

Announcer: Clearly the biggest six of IPL 2 and we hope the selectors are watching

I am sure the channel was sleeping while Robin was scratching around the crease all these days.

Insipid reporting, that is how I would describe them if I were to be really soft on them.

Long live news television in India...

PS: Well played Robin... Thank GOD pls, on your facebook page as usual
