Published by Parlour News

Former Attorney General of India K.K. Venugopal may have represented Chief Ministers, States, and top politicians over the course of a long career, but still sees himself as The Accidental Lawyer, the title of his new autobiography. In a candid conversation with The Hindu, he discusses the “command from political masters” that triggered the anti-Sikh riots in the 1980s, his sense of betrayal when he realised then-Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh had told him an “utter lie” that the Babri Masjid would not be demolished in the 1990s, and the government’s duty today to ensure that there is no discrimination or persecution of any religion or caste. Edited excerpts: When did you decide to name your book, The Accidental Lawyer? The question of my entering the legal profession by accident took place when I originally abandoned B.Sc. Physics and decided that I will start entering the legal profession. That is how I called myself an accidental lawyer from the very beginning. Your father, Constitutional luminary and senior advocate MK Nambyar, has been a great …

Ahead of England’s white-ball series against West Indies, star all-rounder Ben Stokes has broken his silence on the criticism that the Three Lions face for their practice methods. The England cricket team has been receiving huge slamming of late, following their poor form. Some former players and experts even claimed that the England players were more focussed on playing golf than cricket. Such remarks were made during the team’s visit to India for a five-match ODI series and three T20Is in January this year. While the hosts had thrashed England 4-1 in the ODI series, they clean swept the guests in the T20I series that followed. In an even poorer performance, England ended up exiting the 2025 Champions Trophy from the group stage itself after losing all the three matches played. This even led to Jos Buttler stepping down from the role of England’s white-ball captaincy which has now been handed to Harry Brook. “When you hear comments saying we don’t train hard enough, we’re more bothered about golf, we don’t work hard …

England were criticised for not being serious, with several former cricketers slamming them for only playing golf between games during the 50-over matches against India. Test skipper Ben Stokes, who has not played a limited-overs game for close to two years, has said that England’s work ethic and training methods are misunderstood outside the team environment.

Ben Affleck On Phantoms(Photo Credit –Wikimedia/Prime Video) Ben Affleck’s journey through Hollywood has been full of ups and downs, with some surprising choices along the way. Before he became the Oscar-winning director and respected actor we know today, he took on some roles that didn’t exactly work out as planned. While we all remember his iconic performances in Good Will Hunting and Argo, not every project was a smooth ride. Some films were more of a learning experience than a career highlight, but as Affleck himself admits, they came with their own set of perks. As much as some of his earlier work didn’t exactly set the world on fire, it gave him some interesting stories to reflect on and, hey, even a few paychecks along the way. Ben Affleck Calls Phantoms ‘Utter Garbage’ Ben Affleck’s career has had its fair share of ups and downs, but one of his early missteps came in 1998 with Phantoms, a horror film based on Dean Koontz’s novel. The movie, which starred Affleck as a sheriff investigating strange …
