BOB WOOLMER (1948-2007) : REST IN PEACE
Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.” BOB WOOLMER : REST IN PEACE 1948 - 2007 Death may be the essential condition of life, but its suddenness can shock and benumb feelings.

Why Ganguly is such an icon in Bengal ?
Often, I have read in various forums the mention of "fanatic supporters of Ganguly" and a reference to their state of origin, Bengal.

IndianWatchdogs welcomes Ganguly
They say when the going gets tough, tough gets going. What do you do, if you are the (statistically) most successful Indian Cricket captain, have just lead India to the maximum number of tests and is dropped from the team in a stepwise fashion over a short period of time?

Spiderman in India
 Spiderman-3 is a nice combo of special effects, logic, emotions and a love triangle. In Indian lingo Spiderman-3 is a complete Paisa Vasool movie.

HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS
Happiness and success are two concepts intertwined with one another. These are two of the most important ingredients that would eventually define a person’s life.
