What I’m reading this morning:

• India’s national game is Hockey. Yet it is sinking and sinking deeper and deeper into a seemingly bottomless pit of failure and incompetence.

• Vultures may soon be extinct in India because of a banned drug used to treat sick cattle.

• Rest In Peace Gautam Rajadhyaksha, legendary photographer who pioneered the art of celebrity photographer.

• The screening of much anticipated film Mausam at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has been cancelled because the Indian Airforce is objecting to a 30 second sequence in the film. Dear incompetent Indian Censor Board – your delays in approval have effectively denied a filmmaker the chance to preview his film to the entire world at one of world’s most acclaimed film festivals.
