It was not Dube versus Rinku. It never was. Both should have been in.

It was always big names versus T20 pedigree.

Starc in T20s
ER 7.68
SR 18.2
Expected figures 32-1

Starc in IPL 24
ER 11.8
SR 24
Expected figures 48-0

If you're bowling +10-20% of usual, it can be attributed to form/conditions/luck.

If you're bowling at +33-50%, you're either injured or cheating.
Should be sent home.

Modi asking people to vote for Prajwal Revanna and saying that every vote to Prajwal is a vote for Modi 🤮

vs Punjab: Chameera Dushmantha.

vs Delhi: Starc dushman hai.

A few days back, Sethumadhavan Napan told me that this scene in the 1993 film was shot on the roof of a building called Rang Sharda in Bandra.

(At one time, the building housed an auditorium, a hotel and the corporate HQ of Marico).

Is that Raza Murad (white shirt) in front of him?

Beautiful.

Also shows the brand in spaces like old-age homes, hostels, hospitals with 'bad' things (insipid food, missing parents, pain) that ads usually shy away from.

২০০৩, হ্যারিসন রোড যে'খানে কলেজ স্ট্রীটকে কেটেছে, সে'খান থেকে শেয়ালদার দিকে আধ-মাইল হেঁটে গেলে বাঁ হাতে পড়বে এক চিলতে একটা গলি - সীতারাম ঘোষ স্ট্রীট। সে গলির মুখেই একটা বেসরকারি নার্সিংহোম, আর সে'টার পাশে দত্তবাবুর বাড়ি। বাড়িটা ঢাউস, তিনতলা, কিন্তু সাত-পুরনো। উত্তর কলকাতার

Interesting timing. 12:17 pm on the day of the second round of voting.

Interesting choice of phrases. 'Amrit Kaal' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'.

Rare to see an Indian politician talking about the unpaid labour of Indian women in households. It's radical, really, and deserves more airtime and conversation.

From a poem by Joy Goswami

For everything you didn't get in life
For every insult, every rebuke
A man replied with a bat...

That bat was wielded by a billion batters
Every century and every zero
Were theirs too.
Without a mention in the records.

Sachin didn't play alone.

Uiwewewewewewe...

My first 10/10 in a quiz that I've been trying for longer than Mogambo tried for the invisibility formula, longer than Editor Gaitonde waited for his phone to work, longer than Roopchand waited for his dues.
