The Super League and The Super backing

The Indian Super Duper Premier League kicked off with a bang, what with Shahrukh falling off the edge of his seat, Akshay's high flying daredevilry, and cheerleaders adding fireworks to the ones in the sky. So with the Super League, comes the Super backing of Super bucks by likes of Ambani, Sharukh, Mallya and Preity. The glam quotient goes high, as cricketers swim in money. Hope the excitement that has been promised is fulfilled, along with a few glam add ons if possible. And all is played, in the true spirit of the game.

Torch and Tortured

The torch and the tortured, both produce flame at the same time, Beijing Olympics 2008. A collosal event, an interwinining of different cultures, and colours that merge to form a distinct and unique entity of its own. It can only be Olympics. But it has been dampened by the recent events of Tibet-China conflict. A manmade conflict, that drew a beautiful tradition of years into it's web, and made a point of political interest. As rightly said, the Olympic does not belong to a country, but to the world. So even if the Olympic torch did pass in Delhi, it is not a defeat for the true and strong, but a victory for sport.
