The Annual General Body Meeting (AGM) of Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) to be held on December  24, 2020 will have Ganguly, Shah and George presiding over the engagements.  Their term has gotten over and they still sit in the chairs causing lots of raised eyebrows in BCCI.   RM Lodha Committee appointed by BCCI's Committee of Administrators spent years correcting the irregularities of BCCI regulations and had suggested a Supreme Court-mandated constitution on August 21, 2018.  But post election of Ganguly and Shah's team in October 2019, they have still not implemented the constitution, indirectly disobeying direct orders of Supreme Court.

The terms of engagement

BCCI earlier had knocked the door of supreme court with amends to the constitutions to ensure the Ganguly and Shah at the management crease for longer.  The hearing in the court has been constantly being postponed for the third time now since postponements in July and May, 2020.  But the new constitution raised alarms in the state associations and also in BCCI, this led to them reaching Supreme Court with their set of objections related to the new statute.

The Amicus Curiae

Hearing to their plea the Supreme Court instated Mr. PS Narasimha as the acting amicus curiae (a friend to the court) as a mediator to sort and counsel some of the difference between the two parties.  His recommendations post his research and findings were to classify and catalogue different Interlocutory Applications with respect to BCCI, in a pre construed steady manner.  He also suggested that 25 Interlocutory Applications could be gotten rid off with pre described solution.  35 other ineffective Interlocutory Applications which can be removed and he mediated 25 more effectively to the benefit of both parties.  There are 14 Interlocutory Applications that are being contended needs modifications/ clarifications which would be addressed when the Supreme Court comes back to work post the winter vacations starting from December 18, 2020.

Speaking to the media Mr. Amicus Curiae mentioned "Court has disposed majority of queries raised for discussion and maximum of those were not found to be worthy of court's time.  We have successfully mediated cases like Karnataka where with effective mediation we have successfully have held elections.  There are few cases remaining to be discussed which would come back to discussion in third week of January.  The application of BCCI for amendments to constitution would not happen today".

I The Revenant!! (I live to tell the tale)

I really have no idea what to title this, tryst with destiny, final minutes, death at doorstep, light after darkness, reincarnation, second life, how I cheated death, My Life = 1300 Rs, I The Revenant, Sea rescue... But I am sure why I am writing this, I do not want to forget anything which happened on this day. It was early hours of Sunday, December 18, 2016, day after we had Mahpeede Mahablu show in Baindur.  We wanted to go to the beach till sun rises, come back get ready and leave to Bangalore at any cost before 10 AM after breakfast at 9 AM.  So we slept late, since we were in the same beach till 11 PM.  We went in at around 6.30 AM and tried to get into the sea at point 2 in the image below.  Later we realised that the current here is too much of the Sumana or Baindur river, force of the river was enough to make the sea water less salty.  This is clear sign that the current is super strong.  Looking for a suitable location, we moved to location...

My Article on Kannada Theatre Scene

Kannada Theatre Scene Ninth Century AD: King Nrupatunga wrote Kavirajamarga in the matured script of Kannada. It is the first recognised literary work by any author in Kannada history. Being a set of poems it was recited to people at numerous literary gatherings. Hence, we could also categorise it as the first script in Kannada literature. Kannada theatre has seen a huge wave of changes from the times of Jaina Works, Vachana Literature, Dasa Sahitya till today's Modern Kannada. When you go to the new look Ravindra Kalakshetra with improved interiors and exteriors and interact with the Kannada theatre activists, you get the same look and feel, as it was many years back. You still get to see the old scripts, which are, staged every week and meetings/readings going on in the Samsa Open Theatre. However, when you ask them the question of this article "what happened to the new age writers, why are we going back to the age of Shakespeare or of Karnard?" Everyone unanimously a...
