Whom would you choose?


There are two types of friends in the world - the ones that makes us want to be better; makes us be poised, sophisticated, cheerful and all that positive in the world. And there are the ones to whom we can crumble and break and they will help us stick the pieces back together - how much ever long it takes. But these moments are not what define what you are in life - these are moments that you stumble. 

Lighter moments from Tennis


Who said Tennis is a serious game? (Okeey.. I can see TDAlpha glaring at me already)

Yes Tennis is a very serious game, and I know nothing about it - except for celebrity gawking! And then I came across these pictures and I had to share it out with the world and to you, TDAlpha that not everything is serious at the court - at least not to us.

Psst.. we are offering 2 free tickets as well for the 4th January 2016 match at the SDAT Tennis Stadium in Chennai.

Aircel Chennai Open Is Back !

There is Federer, there is Gasquet… And then there is single fisted back-hand… Woah! How did I even miss out on the only double Grand-slam Singles Champion that kick starts his ATP calendar with an Indian 250-point event? The Stanimal…  And yes, the McDowell (holding breath) Open circus which staged its first show in 1996 is all set to kick start Stanislas Wawrinka’s season yet again. Just remembering slightly hazily, it was also known as the Gold Flake Open and Tata Open before Aircel started sponsoring it and also later threatening pulling out of it. Whats with sports, smokes and liquor? Oh, ok its jus me…
It never ceases to amaze me how often the Chennai audience have tilted their loyalty over the years. It has always been on the player who, among the current draw, have visited the city most number of times. Ha, that’s an excellent way to follow a sport and pick a favorite player, isn’t it?

We miss ya, "Fuck you"!


Was watching this Champions Tennis League last week, new format that has been around for a coupla years through a coupla tournaments now. Was watching those senior players rally extremely strategically as against the present players that just seem to bludgeon the ball and beat the opponents, more by physical strength than by actual tennis nuance of placement of the ball and/or/ followed by a blinding winner makes me think that the game is going the cricket way. 

Just another misanthropic day

Full sleeve shirts and pressed cotton chinos on a cool and rainy Monday morning; heading to office!!! Schools are off due to rain, (note: for teachers also) we office goers are just that expendable that it doesn’t matter if it pours or we flow off with the floods into the Bay of Bengal. Let’s see what the week has in store for me, if I do survive through it – Monday, Tuesday and very other day except Sunday, this Picasso of a banker (me) has to the office equivalent of painting my neighbor’s fence at work and hope for some blessed soul to buy me beer after 1800 hours. On Sunday am planning on skipping my customary beer and sticking strictly to some whiskey that can carry me through to next Saturday with just beer on working days.

Shetalks #1: things I am grateful for today

Today was one of those really bad days. The kinda day when the tear droplets are ready to flow down at less than a moment's notice. The kinda day when you realize that there is no point in doing anything and everything in the world sucked.
And of course, it had to rain cats and dogs. Not to mention, it spoiled all my plans to go to the beach to cheer myself up.
