The V8 bird

The rumble sounds ominous. It is raw. It is powerful. It sounds like pent up rage. Its telling you in no uncertain terms not mess with it. You gingerly feather the pedal. You just made it even angrier.

My World Cup

Why are all Indians crazy about cricket? The country probably has more permutations and combinations of the human gene pool than anyone could possibly care. As a rule, we do not agree with each other, with emotions sometimes bordering on hatred. In India, when you go from one state to another, its not the accent which changes. Its the language which does. Sometimes you do not even need to go to a different state to experience total linguistic handicap. The country is also divided on the lines of race, caste, religion etc. They say India is a unity in diversity. And I beg to disagree, to put it mildly.
