What are you reading currently?
8226; I am currently reading a few Malayalam novels simultaneously. But sparingly- before going to sleep.

Your most embarrassing moment?
8226; I celebrated as if I had leapt to the qualifying distance at Helsinki. But When I looked at the scoreboard it flashed 6.54, way below the required mark.

A sportsperson you would pay to watch?
8226; I would pay to watch Yelena Isinbayeva. She is a very chirpy character that keeps everyone engaged.

Your pet superstition?
8226; On finals day, like on Wednesday, I told Bobby not to cross in front of me when I came out of the Village. He did exactly that and I am not among the medals.

If you were not a long jumper, you8217;d be8230;
8226; May be, a triple jumper. But, nothing other than an athlete.

Manchester United Ruined My Life
by Colin Shindler
Colin Shindler subtly presents the irony needed to be a Manchester City fan, with United ruling all over. He manages to turn the all-too-common, 8216;I was a victim8217; theme of the memoir around in to a funny narrative.
Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby
Fever Pitch show Hornby8217;s obsessions for Arsenal with a fine sense of humour and wit. He writes in a way that every fan can identify with him, and cannot help but go on a ride with him.

Shane Warne saying he enjoyed the Andrew Strauss dismissal much more.
