Farewell season..

Seems everyone n everthing good is bidding farewell.

The last Friday saw the 12-year hugely successfull musical programme "Antakshari" come to an end. I used to watch it when I was in my 6th or 7th grade, never got time (or was not interested) for the past few years to catch it again. But got this news from my grandpa.. he is a complete music buff n he rarely missed any episode. Kudos to Annu Kapoor, the host (... the hostess kept changing every 1-2 yrs) for all these years to make it a success not only in India but also abroad for all those missing their homeland.

Then comes the Dancing Umpire David Shepherd, who stood in his last match in Tuesday's Natwest Challenge. The cricketing fraternity should retire a 111 number shirt honouring him. Former British PM, John Major in a letter to him wrote "May you stand on both your feet until at least the age of 111."

One of my fav sports newsreaders is Jason Daisey on "ESPN-STAR Sports Centre India". He will not be seen from next week coz the channel will be broadcasting the news in local languages. Will surely miss his anchoring alongwith the expert (n some funny too..) comments he gave with Geoffery Boycott.
