Stunning (Ohm)-shape building to come up in Mumbai

Mumbai has been steadily transforming in the past few years, with the skyline in South Mumbai and suburbs dotted with skyscrapers that are reaching 30, 40, 60... storeys. Yeah, it's a change, but unlike other major cities the world over, the aesthetics of modern architecture are kind of sore. (Wonder what the famed Fountainhead may have to say about that?).

But, well, as we contemplate that, here's an astoundingly creative building that's being proposed to come up in the Western suburbs. Circa? Anyone's guess...

Wimbledon 2012 - Women's Final: Why the media missed Agnieszka?

Wimbledon 2012. Women's final. Centre Court. The stage was set for what was going to be an interesting and historic match for more than one reason. Serena Williams was to play for her record fifth title, and Agnieszka Radwanska for her record first. The match was preceded by a score of media reports that covered the strengths and weaknesses of each player, and set the stage for an exciting Sunday final.

The match lived up to its expectations, (well, mostly, depending on which player you supported), and in the end, Serena conquered the game 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 to win her remarkable fifth Wimbledon crown. The celebrations began and Serena was at the center of all the media attention, for obvious reasons.

Now, following the result, being the age of the Internet, I was generally following up on the news channels and web portals. As expected, the headlines proclaimed Serena's victory over her brave opponent. Fair. A few hours later, and even into the next day, the headlines and reams of electronic pages showered Serena with praise. Well deserved? Absolutely. But something kinda surprised me. On court (during the live telecast), as well as later - in many of the channels, online as well as off, I do not recall a shot that framed the brave runner-up, Agnieszka. Something was amiss... I let it pass, thinking maybe I haven't seen every second of every coverage that there had to be.

Despite the strange inkling about this at the back of my head, I did whatever else I was doing, and went to bed that night. Next morning, I woke up and eagerly took up the newspaper over my cuppa morning coffee. And, as I skimmed the headlines, and went over to the Sports page, once again the glaring "omission" struck me. Now this was indeed sad - a leading news paper did not even have the grace to picture the runner-up champ? Later, I also checked the sports pages of a few other daily newspapers, and even back online. It was sad, that you could not find much about Agnieszka in the context of one of the greatest sporting events.

This thought will always bother me: why did the media miss the coverage? Is winning the only game (or claim to fame)? Is this what represents the spirit of sportsmanship? All the players out there are true champions, and just like the fans who cheer their favorites, I feel, the media needs to do it too.I'll probably never know why this may have happened, but hopefully someone from the media will read this post someday, and think to do better next time.
