In Chronological Order
The Escaped Goat
And on a great island sat James. For he was the head, the chief. And this James coveted the riches of the kingdom of BCCI. For James’s kingdom had once been rich in heroes. Jeff, with his slingshot thunderbolts, and the menacing Dennis had smote many in the field of…Continue reading→

A dead body at night
It was a dark and stormy night… no wait, it wasn’t. It was a typical Calcutta night, the searing heat of the day dissipating into a warmth with just a touch of cool about it. And it was late at night when we got home. It must have been the…Continue reading→

How big should a space be? How long should a blog post be? And, yes, I know. You were hoping and praying I would continue the cricket post. However, despite never winning the vaguest, tiniest Versatile Blogger award amongst the hundreds that I see being handed out, I plan to…Continue reading→
Bats, batsman, batting
< For those who’ve found this post by searching for “mustard oil on cricket bat” or similar search terms, my advice is DON’T.> My two older, much, much older, brothers were already established stars in school cricket when I got my first cricket bat. A Gunn and Moore Nonjar, size…Continue reading→
Chicken longingly computer
Yes, indeedy…. that is an actual search term that someone used in Bing to get to this blog! Obviously, I’ve things to learn. What were they looking for? A picture or a video of a chicken looking longingly at a computer? Or vice versa? WHY? And so they came here,…Continue reading→
