Lame-rick on TN politics

Now cooking in TN politics, a slow burning thriller

Long dead the leader, who was the state's pillar

Along came an amiable person,

That may stand the test of reason

Alas, it turns out, he may be only a filler.

Excuse this indulgence; I promise I won't do this often. 

You're welcome. 

RIP Nirmal Shekar

I'm shocked that Nirmal Shekar is no more. With his passing, a part of the sports experience has been blown out.

Blessed with the talents to bring a match back to life and etch it deeper in one's memory for the ages, Nirmal held court the day after the curtains came down on a grand slam event; his prose just as smooth as a Federer backhand and as moving as an Arantxa win.  

Grass - Federer
Clay - Nadal
Turf - Djokovic
Paper - Nirmal Shekar

Adios Nirmal.
