    The serve was faulty. The volleys were worse. Return of serve was pathetic. And in the end, it was not Advantage India. In fact, Indian tennis has lost the match much before the Queen says `Let the Games begin’. In fact, the games in India began a good seven weeks...

    “We never realised the depth of the bitterness,” admits S P Misra, who was among the six selectors who chose Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi to represent India in the men’s doubles tennis at the London Olympics. “We did not realise the gravity of the dispute because in the past...

    I am appalled by reports and analyses lauding Sonia Gandhi’s ability to checkmate Mamata Banerjee on the Presidential election. This is with specific reference to how the Congress president was extremely annoyed by Mamata’s announcement to the media about the two names discussed inside 10 Janpath and then deliver a...

    When I called up Saina Nehwal’s father Dr Harvir Singh to congratulate him on his daughter’s incredible triumph at the Indonesia Open Super Series, I asked if he was laughing or shedding khushi ke aansoo. Harvir Singh’s tears do the talking whenever he feels overwhelmed with Saina’s performance. “Sudhir Sir,...

    Sometime in May, when this important ally of the Congress in the UPA was called by Sonia Gandhi for discussions on the Presidential election, he decided to be candid. “Ma’m, we will support whoever you decide to nominate for the President. But I have a request to make. Please change...

    By the time polling ended at 5 pm today, it was interesting to see how the Congress and the Telugu Desam were speaking in one language. To explain why the majority of the seats look set to go into Jaganmohan Reddy’s pocket. While senior Congress MLA Anam Vivekananda Reddy described...

    Andhra Pradesh’s top cop Dinesh Reddy is candid enough to admit that the magnitude of the unaccounted for money seized during the campaign period in these byelections has shocked him. While the Andhra Pradesh police confiscated some 30 crores worth of cash and jewellery, the Election Commission through its officers...

    The issue with tournaments just before the Olympics is that either top players skip them or play very carefully to avoid any injury. Pretty much the case at the Thailand Open, where none of the four top Chinese players took the field, making Saina Nehwal the top seeded player at...

  9. Will Sachin Tendulkar, MP take guard please?

    This news did not feature on any TV news channel, certainly not in Delhi. Television reporters did not ask aam janta to react to this new Rajya Sabha MP. And no, it did not trend on Twitter either. Obviously, I am not talking of Sachin Tendulkar, whose oath-taking today was...

    The last time I met Y S Jaganmohan Reddy was the day before he was arrested by the CBI. I remember asking him if anyone from the Congress in Delhi was in touch with him. He replied in the negative. My source had however told me some functionaries in the...
