		<description><![CDATA[Much before Manchester United took giant strides into my life, the only sporting passion I had was Sachin Tendulkar . Watching Sachin Tendulkar bat was the only thing that got me going. The mood fluctuated accordingly on how Sachin had performed on the field.
At my local colony ground, me and my friends tried to imitate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think, or rather I am pretty sure, that I once lost out on a job just because in the interview I said Ryan Giggs was my favourite footballer. Why I am sure of it is because till the point of that  fateful question, the interview proceedings were going fine. There were jokes about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the nation basks in the triumph of its football team’s successful defence of Nehru Cup, I am often left wondering whether we miss the big picture when it comes to Indian football. Not to take away any credit from a significant achievement on the part of the team, I do feel that such victories [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sports fans across the globe have always had this obsession to argue over who’s the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT). Hours are spent debating, dissecting the stats, the overall contribution and all the other nitty gritties that contribute to the making of a legend, a word, in my opinion, thrown around extremely loosely these days.

		<description><![CDATA[More than a half of the Formula One season is over but it has been in the news for more off the track reasons than on the track. FIA supremo Bernie Ecclestone and his right hand man Max Mosley’s over inflated egos had threatened &#8212; albeit for a short while &#8212; to derail the sport. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I went to one of my relative’s place for dinner and we sat down to watch an old DVD of a Simon and Garfunkel concert. Listening to their music made me wonder, when was the last time a modern day rock/pop band came up and had a cult following. And when I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always had an enormous amount of respect for former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan. He was a born fighter, a fantastic and courageous leader of men, and had an on field attitude which was unparalleled. He fought tooth and nail for every inch and even though he some might say that he wasn’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apart from feelings of bitterness, hurt, disappointment and anger at Manchester United’s meek surrender of their Champions League crown, the other thing which was going through my head was “How will the next three months pass?” No football on weekends mean that the television for the next 80-odd days is a mere show piece for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After watching Manchester United winning their 18th English Premier League title, I celebrated for less than an hour. Here is how my &#8220;grand&#8221; celebrations panned out. Saw the presentation ceremony for 5 minutes, which was abruptly cut short by the sports channel. Went online, caught hold of a live stream, saw the celebrations for about [...]]]></description>

I make it a point not to miss any of Shane Warne’s spells, and if an SMS beeps in about a match going down [...]]]></description>
