@smartinvestor@narayananh But at the scale of wealth he has don't you think it is pocket change and just a vanity purchase ? Any purchase is heavily tied to the value one associates with it. The srirangam land you say might look odd to someone for whom the preference is to buy within an interior village.
When is bcci going to realise that India is a multilingual country they could make the mid innings show a bit more inclusive by including songs across languages?
@skinny258 Honestly, Rayudu was in abysmal form in the 2019 IPL, and that was the reason they had to reconsider his inclusion. They should've stuck with him considering the quality of replacements available, but the non-availability of allrounders had always been an issue until GG came in.
A harsh truth - Not generalisation, just observations ✍🏾
Indian parents in their 60s today are the loneliest generation we’ve ever produced❤️🩹
They raised us to fly. Now they sit in big empty homes waiting for us to land back. There is a quiet ritual happening in lakhs of Indian homes right now.
An ageing father, sitting at his desk with a small notebook. In it, dates and timings every video call his son made over the past year. 47 calls. Average duration 11 minutes.
He isn’t complaining. He is just keeping count. The way you do when something matters.
That image won’t leave me.
These are parents who never asked for much. They cooked for joint families their whole lives. Hosted relatives every weekend. Sent their children to coaching, college, abroad. Paid every fee. Made every sacrifice.
And then one day the house went silent.
The same house that had four people, then three, then two, then one most weekdays, because the wife is travelling to take care of the grandchild in Bangalore or the US.
They never tell you any of this on the call. They ask about your work. Your wife. The kid’s school. The weather in your city.
They never say “I miss you.” Because they’re from a generation that didn’t use those words even when their own parents were alive.
So they keep a notebook instead.
If your parents are in another city, please don’t wait for festivals to visit.
Show up on a Tuesday. For no reason. Stay for the weekend. Eat what amma cooks. Sit with nanna and watch the news without scrolling on your phone.
The notebook in their drawer will quietly add another entry.
And one day, you’ll wish you had added more. 🙏
Vaibhav suryavanshi didn't miss his century by 3 runs. He missed his 200 by 103 runs.
This guy will be the first ever person to score 200 in an IPL game. The day isn't far away.

@prasannalara 2 overs 43 to win and 2 top players - Albie morkel a monster hitter and dwayne bravo who was a proven allrounder. In comes part time pace bowler virat kohli and conceded 28. Please! 🤣
Karthik sharma has been standing out not because of his skill, but because of the temperament of his! Looks to be a great piece of business now @ChennaiIPL ! 👏👏
@prasannalara Nalla engagement farming panreenga pdogg. 😂
Ungalukum therium ourr bowling's done for without overton in their wicket. The only way would be for Gurjabneet to fire and bringing in a bonafide finisher in place of karthik. But hearing that he hasn't travelled!
@NithinS16@ashwinravi99 I’d be ok with such a change actually. Karthik has been good on tough pitches, but there are some visible gaps as of now in his game. He’ll improve with time.
What @actorvijay has done is bigger than MGR’s rise. MGR had decades in politics, split DMK & operated in a less aware, low-literacy era.
Vijay, with no political background, in a far more aware society, against dmk/admk is already near power.
Unprecedented. 🔥

@prasannalara They've dropped miller today. Can't make sense of the decision considering his proven finishing skills and with rr having bishnoi, yashraj and jadeja as their spinners. And to bring back pathum over porel. I guess Hemang's chopping and changing too much.
@ashwinravi99 Does jaddu ever come out of his comfort zone though ? In an age where guys like krunal come up with constantly new ideas, jaddu doesn't even flight the ball and relies purely on accuracy. Maybe that is why with flatter wickets in IPL these days, his bowling is no longer effective
I feel sorry for @mandhana_smriti . Seriously, this level of commentary on one's personal life isn't something any human can tolerate. None of us have the right to comment or throw speculations over this.
@prashandh@UpdatesChennai This is right at the signal and busy 24x7 because of the closer proximity to the airport. Buses entering and leaving could create a choke there resulting in constant accumulation of traffic at that point ?
