Things we’re reading / watching / listening to:
The Spy - This series follows the exploits of Eli Cohen, a super spy, portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen. It showcases Eli Cohen and his role, during the years leading to the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and Syria. A short 6 episode series. Bonus appearance by a young Osama Bin Laden interrupting a conversation between Eli Cohen and Mohammed Bin Laden
Men in White - Mukul Kesavan’s ruminations are a perfect match to the gentle rhythms of the great game. From a very apt description of test cricket as ‘being to other games what Vyas is to V.S. Pritchett and what the Mahabharata is to a short story’. The book covers a variety of topics from the glory days of the West Indies to the Monkeygate scandal and an extensive collection of essays on local heroes ranging from Pataudi to Dhoni. If the Wisden Cricketers Almanack recommended this book in 2008, who are we to doubt their judgement?
