Time for Bloggers to Stand Up

I am sure most of you, by this time, would have heard about IIPM issue. I am indeed apologetic that I havent been able to post for quite a long time now. And especially because the person involved here in this case is someone known to me. Gaurav Sabnis is an avid quizzer and I, for one, was a great admirer. I had the privilege of attending some of his cool quizzes. The tradition of quizzing left behind by folks like him is still followed in Pune.

Anyways, let me not digress from the issue. Here it is. All what is required of you is to sign the petition and give as much publicity to it. Its a matter of our freedom of speech. Its not just about individuals v/s an insititution. Lets Stand up for our rights. My signature is No. 72.

Things are literally sick at personal front. The dreaded amoebic infection is back to haunt me. But i have had the experience of dealing with it. And reading Lance Armstrong's Its Not About the Bike in such times really helps. :)

Zee sports's efforts in promoting indian football are indeed laudable. I want to dedicate a separate post for that. Zee is currently beaming live the Federation Cup. Of course, the dish fared out will pale in comparison to something like English Premiere League. But I am happy, a start is made somewhere instead of sitting back and being an arm-critic.

One more thing to cheer about. Saina Nehwal has shocked our national champion Aparna Popat in the Asian Satellite badminton championship. As i had said earlier, do watch out this girl. She can do to badminton what sania mirza is doing to tennis in india.

And yeah, folks, wish me best luck. I have some important meetings lined up this diwali vacation. Needless to say, its sport related. :) I will be going back to pune tomorrow. Stay tuned.
