An able politician-leader in the works??….

With the Lok Sabha elections around the corner, it’s funny to see the clowns joining the fray to get a chance to “serve the nation”.

I-Pee-L….

Greetings fellow cricket fans( I guess that addresses 99.99% of Indians). BTW I belong to the remaining 0.01% 😀 So we are in the midst of the 5 week extravaganza called IPL.
