Bangladesh victory over India

As an Indian it was not pleasant to see India lose in the manner they did. In fact, I had a sleepless night.

I have been trying to find consolation all day. What I have come up with is, do we deserve to win ? After what the nation has done to our Sourav, one of our greatest sons. And it's fitting that a group of Bongs ( albeit East Bongs) rubbed Rahul's nose in the dirt ! And the only person who put up any resistance for India was our 'Sera Bong" ! Poetic justice , eh !

After India exits along with our arch rivals together with the likes of Bermuda and Netherlands in the preliminary round, I would love to see Rahul and his mentor , the abominable Greg ( "the C in Bengali A-Z"), receive kicks on their rearsides.

My fervent hope is that after the ignominious exit, Ganguly will reluctantly accept pleas for taking up the leader's mantle once again, undo the damage done by scoundrels like Kiran More and Sharad Pawar, build up a decent Indian squad , before retiring with his head held high ! Long live Bengal !

And our Bangladeshi brothers and sisters, with my home team gone, I will stay up to watch your games. Let us pray that on 28 April, the whole world listens to 'Amar Sonar Bangla'.

Mohun Bagan

I have been away from Kolkata for many years, but still cannot forget my beloved club, Mohun Bagan. The way things are going, we might be relegated this year. Some scoundrels are hell bent on destroying our club. I would welcome constructive comments about doing something for our club.

I have linked a web site maintained by some really dedicated fans below

About myself

I am Siddhartha. I was born in Kolkata, India on 26 June, 1955. Currently I live in Canberra, Australia.

I don't have much experience with blogs, this is my first attempt. I hope to learn a few things while experimenting.
