The Real Fiction

All that we experience, our perceptions – sights & insights – seem like a surreal mix of fact and fantasy. There are no lines dividing anything anywhere & existence rides upon interpretations.

The tears for Japan were withheld, as were the brickbats for the murderer of Radhika. Corruption was not discussed nor was black money mentioned. The evening was reserved for the cricket match that...

World Cup has truly arrived!

Who made this tie become real? Strauss? Piyush Chawla? Munaf Patel? Zaheer Khan? Sachin? The crowds at Chinnaswamy?
