What on earth?

Just read the news before sleeping...much torching of trains etc happening on account of an Ambedkar statue being defaced in Kanpur. Bizarre... one would think of all people, nothing would happen when an Ambedkar statue was defaced...its like people burning trains when a Gandhi statue is defaced. Dcubed has an interesting conversation... see here.

I had no idea what was happening...happy in the security of my hostel and books. And it seems what I initially dismissed as stress-invoked insanity in the girls hostel re: rumours that today's paper might be postponed seems to have had some basis.

Can't really comment on it...its just absurd. As the guy in Dcubed's conversation says...that's why we're third rate.

In other news, the Bengal assembly has been trashed, the Davis Cup final between Russia and Argentina is eagerly being followed on radio, Ganguly is back in the side to play the likes of Ntini, Pollock, Nel and Kallis on fast wickets in test matches (I wonder why selectors are paid at all...), the-cricketer-formerly-known-as Yousuf Youhanna has completed an incredible year and an ever-resurgent WI team has lost the test series to them 2-0. Watch out for the Windies...when Lara's head is screwed on straight, there's something about that team - at least over 100 overs, if not 450.

I'm just blogging news because I feel like Rip Van Winkle.
