In the blunder land of India's leading cricket commentators…
This time, the commentators have nothing to say…
"Around 20 commentators were roped in for the T20, most handpicked by the BCCI - and the most well-known among them are Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri. The terms are simple: Not to voice anything against the BCCI or its way of functioning. They have been asked by the BCCI to commentate on every series India plays at home or abroad. Amidst the all the brouhaha over the fixing saga, Shastri continues to scream ceaseless at the toss, while Navjot Singh Sidhu and Ajay Jadeja are doing the 'jumping japang' dance in the studio, oblivious to the rumblings outside.

(No earth-shaking news this, for sure After all T20 is the largest and biggest golden goose lays the golden egg; when everyone who is someone is leaving no stones unturned to milk the goose, why not these ex-cricketers-turned-commentators also make crores, official courtesy BCCI?)

Noted yesteryear Tamil film playback singer, T.M. Soundararajan, passed away, at 91, yesterday.
He was my all-time favourite male Tamil film playback singer.
The bronze voiced TMS lent his voice to the then leading thespian the late Shivaji Ganesan and the late MGR and a host of other actors in his heydays and teaming with the nightingale Sushila enthralled listeners. Old-time film music-lovers would unhesitatingly agree the TMS-Sushila duo put up virtuoso performances in duets after duets and worked a sheer magic with their velvet voices.
RIP.
