South Africa and Test Cricket Triumph

After ages, it was heartening to see SA lift an ICC trophy and winning the WTC 2025 was just the icing on the cake. More significantly, it was Test cricket at its ultimate glory. Ever since SA’s return to international cricket in 1992, I have been a big admirer of their brand of cricket andContinue reading “South Africa and Test Cricket Triumph”

Shocking!

I have been quite disturbed since the terror attack in Pahalgam yesterday. In July 2023, I was in Pahalgam with my family and parents (our first outing together in India after my return from UK).

Airports are not merely to board and land these days, they have become much more than just a place from flights take off from one destination to another. AirportsContinue reading “The Flying Point”

Liverpool Story – Throwback

Liverpool was my first brush with UK, way back in 2014. And in a lot of ways, remains very close to my heart. We got down at Manchester Airport and then took a train to Liverpool Lime Street station. Organically positioned between the City Centre and Merseyside, it exudes charm and a certain amount ofContinue reading “Liverpool Story – Throwback”
