When the Eagles decided to break up Don Henley had said that the group would reunite when hell freezes over. For MTM obviously it’s not so dramatic it’s probably like Glenn Frey said when they got back together ‘For the record we never broke up, we just took a 14 year vacation’.

It’s finally over.

All my bags are packed
I’m ready go…
Well what follows is almost a song of forgiveness that John Denver so fluidly renders and what made him immortal cause he died in an aircrash. This post is however not about that. This post is about traveling.
I’ve gone over the Atlantic many a time but this is the first [...]

For a boy of 10 years the concept of reaching the finals of the World Cup of One Day Cricket may not have been such a big thing. Only after realising that the only time his country ever won a match before that was back in 1975 that too laboriously against minnows then known as East [...]

The IPL or Indian Premier League for T20 is done and over with yet the hangover is still not gone. Evenings that for once were not about the K factor seem to have gone back to soap and reality shows. I must compliment the BCCI especially Lalit Modi whose brainchild IPL was for making such a [...]

For a brief moment nevertheless a Movie Poster Quiz created by me reached No. 10 on today’s rating in Facebook’s Flixster Application. A 7.0 rating on 10 with over 1500 visits. Though numbers don’t really matter the feeling is one of pride.
