Man with the Perfect 10

Abhijit Chatterjee on Anil Kumble whose decision to quit has created a void in the Indian bowling

HIS record is indeed phenomenal. As exceptional as the man himself. Anil Kumble, India’s highest and the third highest wicket-taker in the world, decided to call it a day during the Kotla Test against Australia after 18 eventful years. The decision may have been sudden, but his body had been clamouring for him to take the call. The latest injury on his finger just hastened Kumble’s decision. The gentleman that he is, both off and on the field, the spirit of this great sportsman shone right till the end.

Poetic melodies from the past
 Humra Quraishi
PRAN Nevile seems passionately obsessed with the bygone era. For some reason or other, this retired civil servant is rather fascinated by the past and with the characters who had then held sway. This is amply evident from the volumes that he has authored. The titles of these are telling enough — Love Stories from the Raj; Nautch Girls of India; Beyond the Veil; Rare Glimpses of the Raj; Stories from the Raj: Sahibs Memsahibs and Others; K.L. Saigal: Immortal Singer; Lahore — A Sentimental Journey.
