About

Everybody born in India is a sports fanatic. Never mind the fact that in most cases, its just one sport we are 'fanatcial' about. Grew up on cricket, and developed an appetite for other sports as I came acorss them.

My first live 90 minutes of Manchester United were broadcast from Nou Camp, Barcelona, on THAT day in 1999. I was hooked. While some may call this jumping on a bandwagon, I was in fact leaping towards an unknown journey that has consumed me since.
Besides being a red-devil, I follow the fortunes of the other 19 teams in the English (Barclays if you prefer) Premier League and to a lesser degree, other teams in Continental Europe

Football aside, am an ardent follower of tennis and cricket (DUH !). That being said, most sports excite me to an extent. Yes, Golf too.

Have been writing since childhood and enjoy expressing my opinions, and I have lot of them.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Currently Active: Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, Novak Djokovic; Retired: Ian Thorpe, Mark Waugh, Gabriel Batistuta

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Manchester United FC, Australian National Cricket team

  • Favorite Coaches

    Sir Alex Ferguson

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    2008 UEFA Champions League Final - John Terry penalty miss

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Hoping to visit Old Trafford soon and this entry should change then.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Tough one. If asked to pick one, would have to say Lance Armstrong's 7 Tour de France titles (Honorable mention: Roger Federer's grand slams, Michael Phelps' golds)

  • Ruth or Mays?

    From what I have seen and read, Babe Ruth changed the face of baseball.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Should reserve my judgment as I have never seen the two legends play

  • Jordan or Russell?

    This one I can be certain about. Jordan. No one has ever defined a sport so definitively.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    NHL. Have heard about the two but thats where my knowldge ends.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Blame it to the availability of more material on the man, but I'll have to say Maradona

  • Federer or Sampras?

    I'm going to go for Sampras on this one, purely because his domination came in a tougher era (IMO)

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger Woods gets my vote here because of his records and popularity

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Again, limited knowledge here

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Senna's career (and tragically, life) ended much too prematurely. Will have to say Schumacher here, simply for the domination and longetivity. Not to mention the stats. Whew

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?
