A Sad Demise

Today is a great day for it sees a new beginning for this blog. This is the first post after changing hosts. It is probably a fitting – albeit a very humble – tribute to Natarajan Balasubramaniam (Rajan Bala) arguably the greatest cricket writer India has seen. Erudition, a virtue very hard to find these days, was epitomised in this great man. It is a dark day for cricket, cricket literature and sport literature in general. Us cricket aficionados will certainly miss the eloquent and substantial words of the man with his pipe.-BS
