Leo Messi has just scored these 2 goals in the span of 4 minutes at the age of 39.
I swear I'm genuinely out of words. I don't know what to say.

It's interesting that two popular eateries in Chennai have Carnatic musical connections to their names.
Sangeetha was named as a hat-tip to the owner's fandom to the music of MS & KJ Yesudas.
Vasantha Bhavan got its name b'cos its founder was a fan of NC Vasanthakokilam.

Every year on Oct 15, I think, with some sadness, about an Indian cricketer and tennis player (and Cambridge Blue) who just vanished after stepping out of his home in Adyar in Madras.
Wrote about him last year.

More than 10 days have passed in October. Still no sign of monsoon rains in Chennai.

This is what passes for journalism. Some banter is fine, but this is just plain mocking. Yup, the man from the losing party did resort to hyperbole that deserves some ribbing. But the anchor piling on him is not on. That AIADMK man manfully took the joke on himself.
