Why It Is a Right of Indian Cricket Fan to Watch International Cricket Matches Taking Place in New Zealand....

Cricket is all we like to see, feed and munch on during our day-to-day lives. And if that cricket is happening in a picturesque country such as New Zealand, we feel almost cheated and absolutely gutted to miss out on it. But this is what has been happening to us die-hard cricket fans in India for last three years starting well before the 2015 World Cup. Earlier we saw it as a one-time occurrence, even a technical glitch from a designated broadcaster for a particular series but then it became a trend and now no Indian broadcaster gives a damn about what's happening in NZ home summer. They definitely think of Australia as it's a bigger market for TV audience in India and worldwide but NZ for me at least is no average Joe and when you think of them one of only 10 full member nations to play cricket in world, no broadcasting for their home matches in a country as lucrative a market and as praiseworthy of good cricket and entertainment as India is SIN. I have started to hate this notion and now, that's a start. If all these almighty sports channels with huge resources and deep pockets cannot do it (and they can certainly telecast innumerable Kabaddi, Kushti and Badminton matches, not to forget the run of endless highlights of cricket matches already watched), then who else is going to come forward?

Here I have started a petition on change.org (https://www.change.org/p/star-sports-need-for-broadcasting-of-new-zealand-home-test-one-day-t-20-matches-in-india?recruiter=8039738&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_for_starters_page&utm_term=des-lg-action_alert_sign-no_msg). I would like all of you to check it and sign it and then if possible, share it among your social circles so those who share the same sentiments help this cause.

Thank You!!!!

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

P.S. Hoffman & Joaquin Phoenix: The Master

My infatuation with the movies is well known but my involvement with the actors and their characters is even more heartwarming. There are innumerable movies that I saw simply because they featured my favorite actors, however they themselves were not great. Examples could be infinite, however for the sake of this article I'll have to produce something here. Anger Management for Jack Nicholson (boy, isn't he a legend?), Swing Vote for Kevin Costner, Snatch for Brad Pitt, Legends of the Fall (Brad Pitt), Leon: The Professional, Immortal Beloved, Bram Stroker's Dracula, State of Grace & Prick up your ears; all for Gary Oldman (mind you, he is a chameleon). Meanwhile, I started accumulating some of the finest performances by some of the legendary actors of all time. Very recently, as anyone who follows me regularly knows, I grew very much fond of the craft and artistry of Daniel Day-Lewis. He is a fine, fine actor whose study and impersonation of a character is often pictur...

Book Review - Colourful Notions:The Roadtrippers 1.0

Soul-searching (or at least an effort to do that) has become the new go-to objective of our millennial directors and writers who try to weave a narrative involving some characters that are confused at most of the things that do and thus are 'ordinary' by greats' standards. They look out for an answer, of all the troubles they are having in their lives and thus look out for an endeavor which if not provides a satisfactory solution to their troubles, at least give them a respite for a short while from their unremarkable lives. Hollywood and Europeans are working on this issue from 90s and they visited the orientals as well in search of their lost inner-selves. They might think that they are closing in on a solution but what about the developing Asians? They are catching up fast with 'well-developed' (but ever-so-confusing) Americans and Europeans and thus are getting the headaches and 'made-up' problem of their owns. Well, the author of this book, Mr. Mohit G...
