The Undoing (HBO)

#TheUndoing (#HBO)

Come for the wealth porn, stay for the over-the-top soapy fun, kid actor Jupe turning in another great performance, the inimitable #DonaldSutherland Sutherland-ing up a *storm*, and #HughGrant's inevitable(& delicious) turn to the dark side.

India Lose ODI Series 2020-21 Australia v India

Boy, when it rains #cricket, it pours!

So many series going on, but somehow #AUS manages to keep on winning. Good effort by #IND and #Virat & #KLRahul(not often you score 338 & lose by *50* runs๐Ÿ˜ณ!).

Speaking of always winning, did #SteveSmith win back-to-back MOTMs?!

RIP Maradona [3/3]

I remember the time I was on the bus in #Calcutta with Atul and his big-mouthed pal who started prattling on about how overrated #Maradona was, and they stopped and told us to get off otherwise we were gonna get thrashed! Arguing football with #Bengalis is life-or-death!

RIP Maradona [2/3]

I hope, ahem, soccer, takes root in the US, but I fear it's just not in the blood, #ESPN had wall-to-wall coverage of *college* basketball exos, but barely a mention of one of *the* greatest athletes of all time.

RIP Maradona [1/3]

RIP #Maradona

Larger than larger-than-life, saint, scoundrel, taker of breaths, breaker of hearts, boggler of minds, shaker of heads, bringer of smiles…*all* the astonishing highs and devastating lows that life has to offer, all rolled up into one magical genius

RIP Soumitra Chatterjee

RIP #SoumitraChatterjee

Still can't believe it, massive loss for Bengal/cinema/us *all*. Seemed like he was always part of us & always would be. #SatyajitRay & him: greatest dir-star duo in cinema. The *embodiment* of the Bengali holy trinity: Tragic Romantic Melancholy. Sigh...

Tennis's Uncertain Future

Excellent work by @MattFutterman

Shift from #ESPN to #TennisChannel, #ATPFinals gone from London, #PTPA, low-awareness of a perfect socially-distanced sport, looks like #tennis will become the regional East European sport it was always destined to be...

Congrats to #DustinJohnson on winning #TheMasters (or did #Tiger win again, it was hard to tell in #ButlerCabin๐Ÿ˜)

I kinda enjoy this country-club-dude-bro, er, spectator-free #golf. Add in #EuropeanPGA announcers and you've got a zen-meditation app. Know any VCs๐Ÿคฃ?

Yo! When did this happen?!

#Hamilton not only passed #Schumacher's race wins but has now equalled his #F1 champ record!

RIP Alex Trebek

RIP #AlexTrebek

When I first got to Film School, they showed us a bunch of iconic short docs & one of them was about #Jeopardy. Incredible behind-the-scenes showcased #Trebek's calm, charisma, deliciously wicked, droll humour. An unforgettable part of our TV-watching lives.

All In: The Fight for Democracy

#AllInTheFightForDemocracy

Good, stirring stuff from the legendary #LizGarbus. The historical section, especially, was pretty eye-opening, and(he added parenthetically), quite aggravating. Kudos to the many fighting against disenfranchisement๐Ÿ‘✊.

RIP Sean Connery

RIP #SeanConnery

A hallowed name as far back as I can remember. Saw Darby O'Gill & Last Crusade before I got to his #JamesBond's...that swagger/charisma/acting, he *leapt* off the screen! What a "2nd" act, too!

"Well, I'm as human as the next man"

No, SC, you were *the* man๐Ÿ™
