I wanted to share my story here, please bear with me if you find this boring. I wanted to one tell the story, most importantly wanted to let people know that if I can run then anybody can run. If I can influence at least one person to take up running for their good then my goal will be achieved. Roll back to December last year, I was like most of us working in IT, carrying a&nbsp;Tyre&nbsp;

We five formed a closed group of south Indian fanatics very soon with two exceptions, Nags with his connections with north east and some Hindi guys and me, having spent eight years already in Indore. Guys (including me) found it particularly difficult to digest the fact that Nags had some north Indian friends. Nags soon had formed close relationships with few people (irrespective of gender) which

It's been more than a year since I last wrote an article in my blog. I am not a impulsive writer but I must confess that I am not a good one too. Leaving the pleasant past behind and facing the beautiful future, I once again start to write what I think has changed for good or bad in my life.This story is about five friends, who from different backgrounds were united at a very unusual place called

It was in Jan. that I had some apprehension whether Passion would overcome Billions but ManU proved that passion is more than anything else in Football.They played the msot attractive football and were crowned champions, contrary to Chelsea in 2006 season where their championship was based on 1-0 victories.Next season is going to be tough, there are clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal who haven't

The world's favourite game is in a crisis, with more and more money pouring into the game from US, Russia and other Billionaries, the game itself has taken a back seat. It's high time that EPL govering body FA comes up with some cap on spending by clubs otherwise we would witness a slow death of a game which promises much more than probably people have realised.Chelsea dominated last two seasons,

I have decided to go for my first Car. Because of my budget and specifications, not many models were considered but I guess all middle class Indians would have same set of specifications like mine. Things that mattered to me was, in order of significance.1. Price2. Value for Money3. Mileage4. Comforts5. Brand valueVery frankly, this is what you look for in your first Car and if you are in India,

With Champions Trohpy round the corner, it's hard to concentrate on anything else but when you take a step back to think of other things to concentrate on (sports wise) then Football is something that strikes you first.For me Cricket was always second but I wonder how come people spend eight hours in front of TV. I used to do this when I was a kid but now it sounds illogical. Hoping that you are

I am leaving Glasgow for Good after thirteen months of memorable stay. This place was like a heaven with small population, greenery, scenic beauty and all those things that you can't find back home, but home is home and I am thrilled just by the thought of it.Bangalore would be my next destination and hopefully, I would get more time to pen down blogs regularly.Thank you Glasgow for all the

Today is the festival of lights, you normally wake up hearing cracker sounds. When I was in India, I tried my best to be the first person to burst crackers but never succeeded. There were people who would not stop all through the night.I am in UK now and for the first time in my life, I haven't heard even a "Usi Vedi" go burst.Spirit lives and next time when I am back in India, I shall compensate

Everyone should stand up and give this man an applause, he stood up when masters, stars and even the wall collapsed. In my recent memory, I can't think of a more impressive innings like the one played by our wicket keeper Mahendra Singh DhoniCan you remember of an Indian wicket keeper, who could match this innings. I can't, if you can post it in the comment and I shall disappear from my blog for

India A beat India seniors, two Indians who play for World XI fail to score hundred runs together in three matches. Are we saying here that a team who lost in finals some two years ago is the best we could produce. That's the difference between teams like Australia and India. Australia never settled after winning the world cup, they always plan ahead and think that they can do better each and

I am sad but I have to put down these in words now. I was a victim of racial abuse for the second time in three months. The incident shook me like anything, the whole day I was thinking about how safe this place is, though now I am over it but still it raises so many questions about this country that I have come to make my hay.Is it really worth staying in this place, whenYour wife cries everyday

I was at one of the oldest club's (Celtic) shop in Glasgow over the weekend. It would take some time for me to shell out £60 for a replica top, so why not a photo, cheers.Celtic nicknamed "Bhoys", is a club in Scotland who normally finishes in top two places in Scottish premier League. Founded in 1888, they boast of a rich tradition and players who become world beaters, most of them after leaving
