Ahmedabad, Feb 23 (Ians) From a boy who once sat at a west Delhi intersection with tears in his eyes after failing to get admitted to a recognised school 17 years ago to becoming the second India pace bowler to play 100 Tests, it has been quite a journey for Ishant Sharma.
Back then, a lanky, ungainly Ishant had just one cricket jersey which had faded to pale yellow. His primary concern then was to gain admission in a recognised school from the unrecognised neighbourhood one he was studying in.
His ticket to a recognised school was going to be a neighbour, Manvinder Singh 'Banka', a former India under-19 and Railways cricketer.
Banka, who had played just eight first-class games, was a sort of a star in that area for having played cricket at a decent level.
Ishant would frequent Banka's home and request him to pull strings and get...

Ludo leaves you feeling confused, frazzled but ultimately it leaves you with a smile on your face and I guess that is what matters.
Anurag Basu pens a very complex screenplay weaving five storylines around absolute utter chaos! Honestly I cannot tell you what Ludo was about but I can tell you that it deserves your 2.5hrs. As the film progressed I was bracing myself for the moment when the writer and editor would lose track and this would turn into an utter mess but thankfully it does not get to that stage. The stories effortlessly intertwine with each other into an edge of the seat outlandish yet heartwarming satirical thriller. Props to writers Anurag Basu and Samrat Chakraborty and editor Ajay Sharma for keeping it together. Yes, naturally the movie does lack momentum at parts but somehow you become reengaged in no time.
The cast boasts of the whose who of scene stealer.

New Delhi, Nov 7 (Ians) As expected, the number of voters swelled on Saturday, the third and penultimate day of polling in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (Ddca) elections, and 558 members exercised their franchise. Interestingly, several lawyers, including Sangeeta, wife of late Ddca vice-president Chetan Chauhan, turned up.
On the first of polling, 306 Ddca members had voted and 478 on the second. So far, a total of 1,342 members have cast their votes, according to the assistant electoral officer.
Going by the trend, the number could touch the 2,000 mark. In a house of 4,270 voters, contestants for the six posts have been expecting less than 2,000 people to turn up to vote at the Ferozeshah Kotla grounds, considering the rising Covid-19 cases and pollution in and around Delhi.
"Among those who voted on Saturday included former India players Ajay Sharma and Vivek Razadan, besides first-class cricketers Akash Lal and Hari Gidwani. Sangeeta Chauhan, wife...

Anurag Basu wanted to make a musical and he made it. But the amazing fact is that he decided to make a musical out of a detective narrative. “Jagga Jasoos” is one of the smartest Hindi movies of recent time, which bypasses the fence of typical stereotypes of filmmaking approaches in bollywood and is a delight to watch.
Jagga – a shy young boy, is reluctant to express his feelings verbally, as he stammers. But one day his father ( Saswata Chatterjee) advices him to prolong his technique of speaking by singing his thoughts. So Jagga starts singing while expressing his thoughts using the emotional quotient of mind controlled by the right portion of the brain (as it says). But one day, his father disappears in the midst of a conspiracy and for years, Jagga is clueless about the whereabouts of his father except a video tape he receives...
