    Are the answers coming up shortly? Must say I am a bit curious about some of the questions. Also I realized even though I have been in touch with DLF since couple of years now for various reasons, I still don't know their full form. Shame on me.

    Rayden: I thought those were questions on everyones mind - everyones answers though may be different.. apart from the factual ones such as DLF = Delhi Leasing & Finance.

    When they're at the dug outs, each of them makes an effort to speak in a low voice and then perform the criminal act of stepping over the boundary and feeling the moisture on the ground with the obligatory, "Just quickly... I hope nobody sees me." No fucker, you're on live camera. Everyone can see you.
