There is nothing special about this blog, just a collection of articles, editorials, news events we come across daily.
A tribute to others like me, who read like crazy. Often the impact of an old but important article fades out, so here I keep a collection of anything which I find worth a look.

A heartbreaking SALE

A legendary car, gifted by a driving legend (Michael Schumacher) to a cricket legend (Sachin Tendulkar) for equaling feat of another legend (Don Bradman) has been sold to a builder from Surat.

The car, gifted in 2002  by the automobile major to Sachin when he equalled Don Bradman’s record of 29 Test centuries, raised many eyebrows and has been in controversy even before it touched Indian soil. It has been sold out @ a whopping 1.5 crores. The most lame reason I ever heard of, "Car required a lot of parking space, and Sachin wanted to dispose the car before he moves in his new 5-storey, 10,000 sq. ft bungalow".

So what's next? I just hope Sachin has a lot of space for his trophies or we might see a PadmaVibhushan on sale.
