By admin ⋅ March 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

A couple of changes in my online appearance.
One, a lot of people complained about the black background of the site. So, have changed it to a lighter background, hopefully making it more readable.

If you couldn’t make it cos you were, quite frankly, doing something better with your time, here’s the link [...]

Last year during the Indian Premier League, a blog suddenly appeared that was purportedly written by a fringe ‘anonymous’ player of one of the IPL’s most popular franchises. Giving a warts-and-all, brutally irreverent, fly’s [...]
