Ram Guha mentioned Kumble circle in a conversation. Anil Kumble was present at the naming ceremony, apparently, but Guha (tongue in cheek?) thought that 10 wickets in an innings (was that why he got the circle? ) allowed the exception. Will be difficult even for CNR to match that requirement.Vijayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906122390237442828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-90645543245700115132010-10-25T22:15:38.715+05:302010-10-25T22:15:38.715+05:30@Rahul: Yes, the circle is gone.

At peak hours, every square-cm of that area -- much like the other circle named after another icon from Karnataka, Anil Kumble -- has some vehicle standing on it. <br /><br />@Vijay: What square are you talking about?Abihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790560045313883673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-65780245645329557492010-10-25T20:55:00.235+05:302010-10-25T20:55:00.235+05:30TAB, do you know that the new campus of BHU - your...TAB, do you know that the new campus of BHU - your school - across the river has been named after - you are right - Rajiv Gandhi?!! The founder of BHU, Dr. Malaviya who literally begged to fund the university, its illustrious VCs (including Dr. Radhakrishnan) in the meanwhile get by with a statue here and a plaque there. What an outrage it is to name the new Hyderabad airport after Rajiv Gandhi, the self-same Gandhi whose public humiliation of the late T.Anjiah piqued the citizens of AP to vote out the Congress! They could have named the airport after T.Prakasam, or Alluri Seeta Rama Raju or the many founders of modern AP.trutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313354254836558451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-2276048120433895512010-10-25T20:40:48.555+05:302010-10-25T20:40:48.555+05:30Hi Rahul
