Dr. Rohit Bahadur's Prescription
Rohit continues to surprise me. A mixture of modern and traditional, religious, spiritual and yet having all the naughtiness one has in his age, modern outlook, but conservative thoughts, pub-goer, but also searches for temples, loud rock music one side and Sanskrit devotional songs on the other, Rohit is a mystery yet to be unfolded.
When I was not well, he just dropped in, took a camphor, lit it, kept it on a spoon and what followed was his 'nazar utharna' a traditional way of warding off evil that is set up on one. And then he wore the hat of Dr. Rohit Bahadur and gave away this prescription (image above) - Mrutunjya Mantra!
I would like to thank you all my friends, who showered love and affection, with phone calls, visits and SMS, direct and indirect helps - you guys are simply amazing!
Teacher Traces Student Online After 18 years
We are from the first of all batches of Computer Science in Tamil Nadu. Air-Conditioned Rooms, Thermacool covered rooms, shoes outside signboards and a huge machine with big green monitors, it was a fantastic experience.
Unfortunately, I was never able to track back through Orkut, Facebook or thousands of such social networking sites, my classmates, who should have gone up in their IT careers, being the first batch students.
I had posted few of my school days memories on my blog sometimes back and I was surprised to receive a mail from RDK (our Computer Science Master, Mr. R. Dwarakai Kannan, now our School's Head Master).
It was a thrilling moment, when a teacher tracked back his student after 18 years. I got his blessings and it was very emotional.

Alvidaa Anil
Alvidaa Anil
Stylish, flamboyant, honest, sincere, committed, hardworking, elegant, perfect, aggressive… one would lose out on adjectives when it comes to describe the Invincible Anil. It wouldn’t be in excess if I have to say irresponsible comments from ex-cricketers who think criticizing is their birthright and media who always eye for one poor performance to run after the scalp has brought this early end to an illustrious career of Anil Kumble. I must say couple of years of Cricket is still there in him.
When likes of John Traicos whom we have seen playing Cricket even after 40+, it is indeed an early retirement for Anil.
Bespectacled young man when he started, often seen with head bandages, fingers taped but never to opt to sit out for a single match due to injury, a long run-up for a spinner, a leggie with a pacemen’s attitude, dozens of deliveries in his armory, never-say-die attitude, Anil is definitely an inspiration, though difficult to emulate.
A child-like joy when he scored his first century just a year and half ago, a winning partnership with Srinath in the world cup match against Pakistan, the 10-wicket haul in Delhi and several other fighting performances with his bat when the best of the batsmen have walked backed to the pavilion, Anil’s memories is going to be lasting in the Indian Cricket.
Statistics are something that everybody is able to disturb, but statisticians come standstill by his sterling performances with Harbhajan bowling his doosras and half spinners on the other side; it’s like a melody, a symphony, an orchestra well played without any rehearsals.
When he took the running catch to bring the Australia’s first innings to an end, we could see his anger, a message to the media men and the ex-Cricketers “I have lot of Cricket left in me folks” – that was the message.
Dhoni is an automatic choice as a captain and you were never a hindrance to him Anil, but you shouldn’t have come under pressure of critics. You are not the one we know who will bulge under pressure. You could have bowled a googly to come-out of it, Can’t you?
I still remember when he replied to one of the questions after his 500-wicket haul, I have found a lost delivery and its back in my armory – the leg spinner! Never into any controversies, not into politics a Cricketer who only added the sweet of professionalism without spilling the milk.
Unfortunate we are that we can’t see again on the scoreboard – Caught Dravid Bowled Kumble! Indian Cricket doesn’t deserve you.
Salute to you Anil! Alvidaa! Your contribution to Indian Cricket will always be remembered! Now go back and teach the young folks, not the spinning deliveries, but your aggression, your commitment and your will to fight, because, there are several others to teach them how to bowl, but not how to play!
