Traffic, a brilliantly crafted movie

Many would have seen and others would have read the review of the malayalam movie Traffic by now. I could manage to see it only a few days before. I have not seen a movie of this kind in malayalam in the past. It is an unorthodox movie narrating the incidents happening in one day in the lifes of five different people, who by no means are aware of each other. However the play of fate inter mingles their life and finally it is all left to a common goal.More than the story I was impressed by the subtle script which leaves no loop holes to the critics and the viewer's to ponder about. It was a gripping thriller movie and I am glad that I could see such a fantastic movie after a long period.

Langer keen to coach team India

CRICKET Australia's failure to offer full-time jobs to all its national team coaches could cost it the services of batting coach Justin Langer.

The retired opening batsman has been touted by the Indian media as a strong contender to succeed India's current head coach, South African Gary Kirsten, who is expected to resign after the World Cup after a largely successful stint.

The Mumbai-based Mid Day newspaper quoted Langer, 40, declaring that he was flattered by the reported interest and would accept the job if offered.

''If BCCI [Board of Control for Cricket in India] thinks I am capable of such a big role, it augurs well for my confidence. I have a lot to give back to the game. Coaching the most popular cricket team in the world would be great,'' he reportedly said.

That Langer would be so candid about wanting to coach India just three days before his team faced the tournament host in a knock-out quarter-final clash in Ahmedabad would seem a distinct conflict of interest.
