Mumbai: Cruising along the wavy road along the Haji Ali sea face to Worli, you would miss the frayed squares of cloth that balloon up on the other side of the embankment, where the tetra pods mark the start of reclaimed land. When you peer over, you see that the cloths form the roofs of tenuous makeshift houses built among the rocks, stretching between the Haji Ali jetty and Lala...

New Delhi: There is a big difference between the Indian and the Hollywood producers when it comes to making a film on real incidents. The idea of making an objective film gets easily replaced by the notion of making money at the box office. Eventually the film ends up becoming a uselessly sensational piece. Of course Raj Kumar Gupta made a sensible film 'No One Killed Jessica' but such examples...

Pebble Beach, California: Tiger Woods ran off five birdies in a six-hole span to charge up the leaderboard at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Saturday. It was only enough to make up a little ground on Charlie Wi, who played bogey-free at Spyglass Hill for a 3-under 69 to build a three-shot lead as he searches for his first U.S. PGA Tour win. Meanwhile, India's Arjun Atwal crashed out after...

Pebble Beach, California: Arjun Atwal's woes continued as he shot a second round 77 to slip to almost the bottom of the leaderboard, but it was not highly likely that he would make the cut after three rounds at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. He was nine-over for two days at the par-70 Monterey Peninsula course, the same as Daniel Chopra, who shot 77 at the par-72 Pebble Beach....

Pebble Beach, Calif: On a day when sunshine gave way to a light rain, two things stayed the same on Friday at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Charlie Wi was still atop the leaderboard, and Tiger Woods didn't hole enough putts to make up ground. Wi escaped most of the rain at Pebble Beach, where he holed a wedge from the 13th fairway for eagle and limited the damage to...

London: Tiger Woods' joint third-place finish at the Abu Dhabi Championship showed the former world number one was getting closer to regaining his imperious form of old. For the opening three rounds in the desert heat of the Middle East, the 36-year-old American was almost metronomically accurate with his irons and stunningly precise off the tee. Woods's putter was cold on the first day but from then on he found...
