Sigh, oh sigh.
After winning the bid for Kolkata team, Shah Rukh Khan had said that he would work towards helping "the young realize their dreams."
The Hindu's editorial had said there were few better role models for the young than Kumble. It said that Kumble had not only embodied the qualities Indian parents have traditionally tried to inculcate - a solid work ethic, honesty, perserverance and modesty - but had injected his own dynamics into the process.
Talking about the corruption cancer in India, Ramesh Thakur, says that Manmohan Singh began his prime ministership with the huge advantage of widespread public perception that he is clean and incorruptible. "For all his other faults and failings, quite remarkably in the Indian context, his public perception of probity remains intact."
"Yuki Bhambri, all of 15 years old and playing in the Australian Open junior championship here for the first time, displayed tremendous maturity and impressive skills from the back of the court to outlast the British third seed Daniel Evans 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-3 in the boys singles quarterfinals on Thursday."
So what's the connecting thread here? My eyes moistened when I read/heard these.
What!? Why??
I think I need a career soon. Way too much idle time on my hands!
Government of India, Analog Devices Inc, AMD, Intel are you listening? :)
