Futility of All-time world-XI's!

ESPN has recently published an All time world XI. For starters, you guys can take a look.

Needless to say, this has evoked a spontaneous and endless debate about the presence or absence certain players in the XI. Indians would be elated to find the person occupying No 4 position, Sachin Tendulkar.In fact, he is the only player from the current lot.

Gavaskar's fans would be furious about his absence, so the would be the fans of Lara, Kapil Dev, Murali and Ponting. The endless debate would culminate into a vicious circle. So it would keep on repeating itself.

My argument is that the whole idea of framing All Time World XI is flawed. You can't compare people of different era. This statement may sound like a Cliché, but it does hold true. Gavaskar played against the fierce-some pace quartet without WEARING A HELMET or Protective gear.

Old-timer played in uncovered pitches, Nowadays the pitches are covered, rolled. There was also a even contest between bat and ball. Now, the runs are scored flat feather beds as a result the batting averages of the current lot is inflated.

So let us enjoy the game in its corresponding context..

Endhiran Goof!

The costliest Indian movie has lived up to its expectations. So far it has been a thundering success throughout country. Needless, to say it is having a dream run in south India. All the technical parameters have been carefully dealt with. Apart from the commercial success, the movie has received rave reviews from critics too.

The superstar has stormed the bastions of the khan territory, this would be surprising even for a hardcore superstar fan. In this deluge of applause, people tend to forget the acting skills of the superstar. The performance is powerful, subtle and jaw dropping at times.


Ok, have you guys noticed that the above pictures. Even a technically supreme picture seems to have certain goofs. During the song sequence Kadhal Anukal song, the light reflectors and the crew are visible through the reflections that come from Rajini's sun glasses. But seriously, that doesn't really matter. Does it?

Glorious infamy of Conwealth Games!

We can't help but notice the infamous corruption which preceded the games. Many would argue that the rich haul of medals have overshadowed the ignominy. Majority would argue that this is the way work is being done in our country for ages.

I feel that the culprits should be brought to be brought to book and shouldn't be left scot-free.

The enough misery stamps before a star bankrupt.
