I PL:One of the biggest business ventures of our times and by far the biggest crowd puller is an Indian venture. Probably the biggest draw in the entertainment industry in terms of the soaring TRP’s.Credit for this doesn’t just lie in the game itself, as the big Bollywood connection exists. But with the money, glitz and glamour come the controversies. Firstly ,its NOT being played in INDIA.. A Very un-Indian thing if u’d ask me. So these people just can reschedule the matches to a later part of the year??Would it kill them to wait?? These money hungry people deem that a Loksabha election is less important than a game which is a commercial business ,that buys and auctions players,literally.What’s so Indian left in it if the home crowds don’t get a chance to see it? That’s precisely why they shouldn’t be calling the teams Mumbai,Chennai,Delhi etc.. from now on ,they should have the names of the cities where they choose to host it ,say the most dissappointed,patriotic fans. The competiti...

So it came down to the rocker and the dark horse. And many people thought that it was gonna be Adam who would crowned American Idol 2009 as he would win it hands down because of his popularity. But America is getting less predictable by the day; they are making different choices than you normally expect them to.(Electing an African American president for starters) The competition was not one of the toughest ever if you’d ask me coz maybe even I thought Adam Lambert was gonna win bcoz I liked him more than Kris, but I guess America had already been hinting otherwise since the last couple of weeks before the finals. Kris was the one who was in the top 3 with the maximum number of votes; and the difference between him and Adam during the top 3 when Danny Gokey got eliminated was 1 million votes if im not mistaken. Guess America wants the usual mellow -ballad-singing-pop singer as their idol. Either they are bored of rock or maybe Adam’s sexual preferences just let the girls down and...

Whoa baby! Has America found a rocker or what through AI-8??Adam Lambert has got it all-the looks, the voice, the hair, the style….all in all a very hot package. Hardly ever can you see him without his trademark black nail polish(yeah,im not kidding) & Iv gotta admit, Lambert is the first GUY on this planet I can not only accept that with, but also love to see nail polish on; and I actually miss it when he’s not wearing it!! And about the singing, I guess his theatrical music background helps, but really,this guy has some crazy talent. He literally sticks his tongue out when he hits the high note(and boy can he hit that well)and its wonderful to hear him scream it like that. And the best part about his vocal ability is that not only can he sing rock, he can sing a ballad brilliantly and get the audience up on their feet coz he has this amazing ability to make the song his trademark Adam Lambert- thing and just woo people. And not only does he surprise you with his performances, h...

     He’s blonde and he’s Aussie.That’s enough to make the girls swoon.Well,it was more than enough to make me swoon;)And I’m not ashamed to admit that iv had the biggest crush on him for a long time. Saw him for the first time on TV in a series v/s England in 2002.Immediately, I thought he was the cutest guy who existed on the planet at the time(And that view hasn ’t actually changed much).Of course, I was just beginning to watch and like cricket, and at the age of twelve, I dint think anybody could play better cricket than Australia(this view hasn ’t changed either) and the fact that Brett lee was on their team and was doing fairly well only helped increase my loyalty and fan following. ' Binga ',as his teammates call him is the most delirious when he takes a wicket ;the cue for him to hurtle forward ,leap high and swing low,down on to his haunches, pumping his fist like he’s starting a lawnmower. But his kind of joy is not conditional on success: it’s ever present. You can...

Adam Gilchrist is a phenomenon. While the Aussie’s methods with the willow are exhilarating, his work with the gloves is safe. The statistics speak for themselves. Any cricketer who can make such a serious impact in all forms of the game with the willow is certainly special. This bloke is influential, both as a lower middle order batsmen in tests ,where he has go the Aussies out of tight spots time and again and that too at staggering scoring rates ,and also in the ODI’s where he sets the tempo as a opener and often progresses to much bigger things.T20 of course, needless to say, was tailor –made for him. I admire and respect him as a sportsman and above all as a person. His spirit of sportsmanship shone through when he ‘walked’in the semifinals of the 2003 World Cup. Beyond doubt,’Gilly’,as he is fondly known, is the finest wicket keeper-batsmen to have played the gentleman’s game. His words before the tsunami relief game in Melbourne should throw light on the man.” It shouldn’t take ...
