    Indian Test captain AnilKumble took the cricketing

    world by surprise, an-nouncing his retirement

    from international cricket atthe end of the third Test be-tween India and Australia atFeroz Shah Kotla in Delhi. Theleading wicket-taker for Indiain both the Test and One-DayInternational arena, Jumboas he is fondly called, has beena brave soldier of Indian crick-et for the last 18 years, playinga whopping 132 Test matchesand 271 ODIs.

    The 38-year-old leg spinner, who has captured 619 Testsscalps and is third on the list ofhighest wicket-takers in Testmatches after Shane Warneand Muttiah Muralitharan, in-

    jured his little finger on his lefthand during the course of theDelhi Test but was back in thefield after a minor operation,showing great commitment atthe fag end of his career. Allthrough his career Kumble hasbeen known for this commit-ment and no Indian cricket fan

    will forget his heroics in Anti-

    gua in 2002 when a bandagedKumble played with a frac-tured jaw to deliver an excep-tional spell.

    Kumble, wearing his trade-mark faded blue Team Indiacap, was given a guard of hon-our by his teammates beforestepping into his favouriteground to bowl for one lasttime. The fans also joined in tocelebrate a great cricketing ca-reer.

    In 1999, he had picked up all10 wickets in the second in-nings against Pakistan at the

    same venue to become onlythe second Test bowler toachieve the feat. After playingfor 18 years, it was a tough de-cision to take I wanted toquit after the series. But afterthe injury here, I knew I wouldnot be 100 percent fit for Nag-pur and I did not want to letmy team down. Ideally I wouldhave liked to end with a winhere but I am confident of seal-ing the series in Nagpur, saidKumble in the post-match pre-sentation.

    Never start straight outof college. First, workfor some five to six

    years; get a hang ofthings in the world of business.This is one golden rule most suc-cessful entrepreneurs often advo-cate. However, there are peoplewho have proved them wrong.And 23-year-old Waqar Azmi,

    founder and CEO of Sutra HR andSutraJobs.com, is one among thelatter.

    In a country where establishedcompanies are finding it difficultto attract and retain talent, it is no

    surprise if start-ups find the questeven tougher. Sutra HR was bornto help start-up firms find the

    right talent as well as to provideaspiring entrepreneurs find theright start-up to bootstrap with.

    How it all began Waqar completed his Engi-

    neering in 2006 from Rajiv Gand-hi Institute of Technology inMumbai, but did not apply forplacements or even appear for aninterview. I was clear I wanted todo something different, he ex-plains. After college, I was in-volved with a couple of start-ups,either directly or indirectly, andone thing I noticed was thatfunds, ideas and infrastructure

    were not a problem for start-ups.Rather, it was finding the rightpeople that came as a hugechallenge.

    In December 2007, Sutra HRtook form from his home, with

    just an email pitch, logo and

    business cards, which somefriends contributed. I boot-strapped the company with nomoney, says Waqar, who has al-

    ways been keen on starting so-mething independently since hisschool days. In college he ran ane-commerce business, whichfetched him Rs. 10,000 a month.

    But, is starting a business assimple as Waqar makes it sound?

    Well, his travails started with hir-ing people for his own firm. Itook help of a social networkingsite and a couple of references tostart my hiring process, which

    went on for a month.

    30 and moreFortunately, Lady Luck was

    with this young entrepreneur

    right from the companys incep-tion. Once he had Rs. 1 lakh in thebank account, which he got from

    clients, Sutra was ready for oper-ation with a start-up office andtwo employees.

    We have been making profitssince inception, in fact even be-fore we went into operation,says the computer graduate. To-day, we have over 30 start-upsregistered with us, and we will beclocking revenue of Rs. 30 to Rs.40 lakh for the current financial

    year.

    Competitive turfsSutras biggest competitor is

    job boards on blogs and other HRcompanies who have clients inthe new-age media. The peoplesolution company also boasts oftwo offices in Mumbai and islooking at expanding its horizons.

    We are next gearing up to tapinternational market startbased abroad, Waqar says.

    The Stanford Superstarsmade the quickest milliondollars of any group ofcricketers in history after

    thrashing England by 10 wick-ets in the Stanford Twenty20 fi-nale in Antigua on Saturday.Chasing a target of just 100runs, the Superstars, a collec-tion of experienced and prom-ising West Indian players,pulverised England with more

    than seven overs to spare.Superstars captain ChrisGayle had the privilege of hit-ting the winning runs, when helofted Andrew Flintoff for thelast of his five sixes in an un-beaten 65 off 45 balls overlong-on to spark tumultuouscelebrations around the Stan-ford Cricket Ground. The victo-ry meant that all members ofthe Superstars XI became in-stant millionaires, pocketingexactly one million dollarseach. Meanwhile a further onemillion dollars was split be-tween the Superstars squadplayers who didnt play Satur-day and the victorious coach-

    ing staff. The remaining prizemoney in the 20 million dollarpot will be shared between the

    nothing after losing this win-ner-takes-all clash. There hadbeen much talk from both

And seriesbacker Allen Stanford wasforced to apologise after beingpictured with Emily Prior, thepregnant wife of England wick-et-keeper Matt, sitting on hisknee during a warm-up matchlast weekend. England captainKevin Pietersen said the non-sense had been a distraction.

    If we were to lose another six players out of our current team it has the potential to crip-ple us. I dont know how we can be competitive if that happens again. The hard part is

    theres no way to put an end to it when the ICL keeps luring players with huge money. Cricket isgoing to suffer. Young players who are not even at their peak are being lured by the dollar signs.

    GO ONTOP

    Liverpool suffered theirfirst defeat of the sea-son on Saturday whenRoman Pavlyuchenko

    scored in injury time to giveTottenham Hotspur a 2-1 co-meback win to complete adream first week for newmanager Harry Redknapp.

    Chelsea took over at thetop of the Premier Leagueafter Nicolas Anelkas hat-trick inspired a 5-0 rout ofSunderland. In a thriller,Hull City came from 4-1down to push ManchesterUnited all the way, beforelosing 4-3 at Old Trafford.

    Arsenal went down 2-1 atStoke City, a red card forRobin van Persie and a badinjury to Theo Walcott com-pleting their miserable day.

    Chelsea have 26 points,the same as Liverpool, butlead on goal difference.United are third on 21, withArsenal, Aston Villa and Hull

    all on 20. Spurs climb off thebottom after a memorableweek.

    Liverpool seemed to becruising after an early goalby Dirk Kuyt but a JamieCarragher own goal in the69th minute opened thedoor and Spurs, who foughtback to draw 4-4 at Arsenalon Wednesday after beatingBolton Wanderers lastweek, seized their chance.

    Last weekend Spurssacked manager Juande Ra-mos, instantly brought inRedknapp from Portsmouthand then secured their firstwin of the season. OnWednesday they nettedtwice in the last five minutes

    to draw at Arsenal and thenext day announced plansfor a new 60,000-seaterstadium.

    On Saturday they dumpedLiverpool with another last-gasp goal, having seen localrivals Arsenal lose at Stoke.

    Liverpool will wonder

    how they lost, having totallydominated and hitting thewoodwork three times.

    Unlikely winnerPavlyuchenko snatched

    the unlikely winner afterDavid Bentleys shot wasparried by Pepe Reina. Icant believe we lost, every-body could see we were thebetter team, Liverpoolmanager Rafa Benitez said.

    Redknapp said: We rodeour luck at times for sure butonce we got a goal back wewere back in it. Asked whathe had done to changethings in such a short time,

    he said: I just got amongthe lads and made them be-lieve in themselves a bit.Weve had a great week.

    Arsenal, stunned at homeby Hull a month ago, be-came the latest team to fallfoul of Rory Delaps longthrow-ins. Ricardo Fullerout-jumped everyone tohead one in before Seyi Olo-finjana got the second afteranother Delap missile leftArsenals defence flailing.Arsenal then lost Van Persie,five minutes after he cameon as a substitute. Walcottwas carried off on a stretch-er clutching his shoulderand striker Emmanuel Ade-bayor also went off injured.

    Gael Clichys late effort wasno consolation for managerArsene Wenger.

    Two goals for CristianoRonaldo and one each byMichael Carrick and Neman-ja Vidic had United seeming-ly cruising after an hour. ButHull, who netted earlierthrough Daniel Cousin,pulled one back throughBernard Mendy and set up atense last eight minuteswith a Geovanni penalty.

    Not many teams willcome to Old Trafford, scorethree goals and come awaywith nothing, said Hullmanager Phil Brown.

    Your transition to the small screenhas been smooth and successful.Your comments?

    Im happy that whatever step Ive takenhas worked out right. Its not been easy andpeople discouraged me when I started off.But now when they say Im successful, itfeels great.

    What is your recipe for success?

    No pains, no gains; thats my motto.There are no shortcuts to success and youhave to work through the obstacles thrownat you.

    Radikaa the producer. Tell us more.I think I am a good producer and have

    broken the stereotype that women cantcross from one threshold to the other. Iusually get annoyed when people come upto me with chauvinistic ideas. Radaan isthe only production company to have tou-ched upon different genres. Reality shows,humour, mythology, weve done it all.

    Why was Thiruvilayadal stoppedabruptly?

    The marketing strategy did not matchmy expectations. I wasnt happy with it.

    Selvi and then Arasi how did itevolve? Are you planning a trilogy?

    It was the first time a story was wovenout of an existing story and it was also a

    marketing strategy. Selviwas about friend-ship, whereas in ArasiIve concentrated onthe mother-daughter aspect. I hope thereis a trilogy. Lets see. I usually dont planthings.

    How do you relate to Arasi?

    She is a very strong woman and that ishow I relate to her. She is an inspirationdrawn from M.R.Radha, Sivaji Ganesanand Kiran Bedi. I draw a lot of inspirationfrom men.

    Most serials are women-oriented.What makes Arasi stand apart?

    In my serials, all characters are etched insuch a way that they are equally important.

    A lot of brainstorming goes in moulding thecharacters and choosing the actors.

    What do you think is the biggestchallenge on the small screen?

    On the small screen you have to deliver ablockbuster everyday. Otherwise you lose

    your audience. We have to work 24X7 andits hectic.

    Sarathkumar as a husbandHe is a quiet and reserved person. He is

    very fitness conscious.

    Can we expect new twists in Arasi?A lot (smiles).
