Shantanu Dutta finds technology whirring around him:
Linked by kuffir. Join Blogbharti facebook group.I am forever amazed as to how fast technology is changing and I wonder always as to how far I will be able to keep up. I remember two instances from my past. It was the first time I was old enough to be interested in cricket and there was an India – Australia series. These were days before television— except a lone AIR –TV as Doordarshan was called then and they showed excerpts (black and white of course) a day after the day’s play. These were also the days before the transistor radio. So I used to crane my years to the old cathode ray tube driven radio tuned to the short wave station which was relaying the commentary. I still remember the frustration when a burst of static would block out transmission just as one of the commentators Rajan Bala or Bobby Talyerkhan was raising his voice to deliver some exciting news.


The article about the ban on sledging by Harsha Bhogle in Loksatta is very apt and to the point. The big names in cricket must raise their voices in unison to banish sledging from the world of cricket. Harsha has truly taken a lead in this direction. I am a staunch Harsha fan and my liking to his work has increased even more. Let us enjoy only pure cricket!
