Princely tales ...

Now that the Prince of Calcutta seems to have regained some of his royal touch in the English county championships, it's probably the wrong time for a Ganguly joke. But I just can't resist passing on this one ... A creative executive at the ad agency of one of the two aggressive CDMA players in the Indian mobile market is reported to have got the sack recently. The reason for his dismissal is a punchline the executive suggested for an ad for the firm's new prepaid service, featuring none other than Sourav Ganguly. The line read: "Our tariffs, lower than he scores. Our pulses, more than the time he spends at the crease" :-) PS: All those with whom I've had countless arguments about the merits of Ganguly as both batsman and skipper, please don't think I've jumped over to your side of the fence! I'm still very much an ardent Sourav supporter! May the form he's found in England stay with him through the next international season as well ... Go Dada!!
