		<description><![CDATA[I ran the Pune Marathon 09 (10 kms category) and finished in 1 hour 26 minutes which was more or less as per my expectation. I think I could have shaved off 5-10 minutes from the time, but with few distance markers along the way, I couldn&#8217;t pace my run properly so left my final [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would love to be proven wrong and see the Maharashtra Premier League (MPL) 20-20 cricket league be successful. The MPL concept sure had the potential, but unfortunately the format and packaging makes it seem like the MPL will not deliver. For those who aren&#8217;t aware of what the MPL is, Cotton King Maharashtra Premier [...]]]></description>

No, not the record for the highest number of runs in Test cricket&#8230; Sachin Tendulkar today gave a super quote.

It&#8217;s however sad that it takes the Health Minister of the country to speak up before the authorities looked at such an obvious and blatant form of surrogate advertising for liquor brand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;World Spitathon Champs&#8221; Indians might have the strongest lungs on the planet. Not because of any genetic reasons but because of the exercise that they make their lungs undergo by firing spit missiles every couple of minutes. Across the country we have great exponents of this art, hard at work on every street. While walking, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time back I wrote &#8220;PYC Sports Gymkhana Pune stops serving alcohol &#8211; Is the focus back on sports?&#8221;. The answer is no. Restaurant sales apparently crashed once PYC stopped selling alcohol. So they have now resumed alcohol sales. As I stated in my earlier blog, it&#8217;s not only incorrect to be serving alcohol at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days back I heard that the PYC Gymkhana located in the Deccan Gymkhana area in Pune has stopped serving alcohol. This came as a pleasant surprise and compeltely against recent trends in Indian cities. Pune Youth Club (PYC) Hindu Gymkhana was formed in 1934 and for over 70 years has been a sports [...]]]></description>
