Making a point
They said he couldn’t swing the Cosco tennis ball. They said the batsmen were reading his variations. They even said he was spending more time on Markov chains than on the field. Prof. Sumanta Basu heard them all, without batting an eyelid. More than the urge to prove his detractors wrong was the resolve to change his game. Like someone said, victory can bring the warmest glows, but ...

JokaSpeak- The Campus Magazine
It was a usual club heads meeting in Feb 2011. The President and the Cultural Secretary were striving their best to make themselves heard over the din. Every time the group was on the verge of making a constructive decision, up went some hand raising an objection.

In this fast-paced, time-constrained, sleep-deprived, Joginder Sharma-infested world that we live in, I’ve managed to wake up almost every day before 1430 hrs and willed myself to watch 8 hours of the Gentleman’s game. Those 8 hours have also included Sourav Ganguly, uncharacteristically with a shirt on, ...
