No shuttlecocks – national camp called off

This is one of the funniest things I have read this year. 32 top badminton players from the country come down to Goa for a camp and they are send back – because the bureaucrats could not arrange a supply of shuttlecocks .. and we are sending a team to for Thomas and Uber Cup qualifiers starting on Feb 19th. Darn!

Sukumari as Prem Nazir’s grandmother?!

Snippet from an televised interview with movie actress Sukumari:

Interviewer: From when did you start acting as a grandmother?
Sukumari: I don’t remember exactly when I started, but maybe since 10-15 years.
Interviewer: Have you acted as grandmother of Nazir sir?
Sukumari: Oh not, not Nazir sir! Maybe if he were alive today, I might have.
