Dipika P. Karthik - PB WR # 10 in Dec 2012

[suresh]

I caught Dinesh Karthik speeding on my campus and when I pointed that out to him, he showed his classlessness by murmuring angrily "OK, OK" as if rules are not applicable to him. At another time, I caught WV Raman doing the same and got a polite apology from him. What a difference!

Suresh moonlighting [as a traffic cop]?

I get worked up because at least one deer gets killed in a month thanks to idiots who speed.

Dinesh Kartik was playing in the Ranji Trophy yesterday, so he couldn't have got engaged yesterday! The story suggests the engagement was last week. Anyway, congrats to both! (I didn't realize that DK was already married and divorced once; that's quite something at 28...).

True, another report says that immeditely after engagment , Dinesh went away for his Ranji match & Dipika went for training to Australia. It also says they will only get married in 2015.

PKB, this was quite the scandal... all hush hushed in the media. But you have to give it to Karthik for his comeback in cricket and now this... Very few get back from lows he touched

I had no idea, of course! I suppose such gossip doesn't easily leave India's shores. Woe on Murali Vijay if this is true! There is even a "We Hate Murali Vijay" page on Facebook!!

At $120K Women's Penang CIMB World Championship 2014, Malaysia (World Series Platinum)

[R1] (10) Dipika Pallikal (IND,11) bt (Q) Lisa Aitken (ENG,42) 3-0 (11-2, 11-6, 11-5) (32m)

[R2] (10) Dipika Pallikal (IND,11) vs. (3) Raneem El Welily (EGY,3)

Dipika has been on a losing streak in last 3-4 months . So, good to her winning her first round easily. But, now she has tough second round against third seed Egyptian .

Deepika lost tamely in second round.

At $120K Women's Penang CIMB World Championship 2014, Malaysia (World Series Platinum)

[R2] (10) Dipika Pallikal (IND,11) l (3) Raneem El Welily (EGY,3) 0-3 (7-11, 7-11, 1-11)

While that may be just co-incidence, but Deepika's game seems to have gone down since her engagement last November with Dinesh Kartik. ( as has Dinesh's too. )

Wow, that's great! Is there a live streaming somewhere for this?

[jayakris]

She is winning again? So we take it that her engagement is off? Or, is Dinesh in jail for traffic aggression against deers, on Suresh's testimony?

Just keeping the story going....
