"Taylor....Benjani coming in..........OHHHHH, HOW ABOUT THAT! A bullet of a header; Totally out of the blue - It's Portsmouth 1, Manchester United 1! Utaka did well...forcing it wide, Taylor with an in cross, Benjani coming from a deep position; wasn't picked up.....he launched himself at it....1-1. No one could see that coming....and no one saw Benjani coming."
"Faye...this is Davies...Anelka, still looking for his first Bolton goal...Nicolas Anelkaaa...HE GETS IT! A terrific goal. From the minute he picked that ball up, I think he had one thing in mind. And Bolton half time lead is commanding."
"Fabregas looking left.....this is Abou Diaby...tall, rangy...and going for goal....OOOHHHH - What an absolute screamer! Abou Diaby! Arsenal 1, Derby County 0. A glorious strike! Found in space, cut inside worked the yard more in space and thumped it!"
"Denilson......on to Adebayor; great chest trap.....Adebayor - on a hat trick....AND GETS IT! And that was a very special goal. Magnificent.....it was all about the first touch. Hit high...look at the jump - Magnificent. Then the composure and a low bent finish. A hat trick for Emmanuel Adebayor. Magnificent....Majestic; then picked himself up, little shimmy....side foot finish - Adebayor has three, Arsenal have five. Derby have conceded nine goals in two games in north London this season."
"Pires now.......Bergkamp is to his left.....room for a bender - but....AHHH!! AND IT'S IN! What a ghastly moment for Russell Hoult, who seemed to have it covered.

"Cole out.......Purse....trying to find Greening......Ohhh, what a touch...in-towards Geoff Horsfield....IT'S IN! THEY HAVE THE EQUALISER! I think it's Earnshaw's first touch!"
"Lampard......Drogba wanting it through the middle....Brilliant pass....Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. Sheer quality, the delivery from Lampard. Drogba's rich vain in goal scoring form continues."
"Rooney, into space and Anderson....looks for Tevez, can he get away from Kilbane, Carlos Tevez, brilliantly done...can he finish...TEVEZ - HE CAN! Manchester United have the breakthrough! Superb finish. Through the goalkeeper and he rifled it in."
"The mad side of genius: Cantona is dismissed! Where can there be a place in the game for a man of such extravagant talent, a man of such wicked temperament? A man who has been quite rightly dismissed, a man who has now got... OH MY GOODNESS ME! HE'S JUST KICKED- HE'S PUNCHED A FAN! Eric Cantona has jumped in and scissor-kung-fu-kicked a fan! Manchester United fans are coming across - I have never seen as disgraceful an incident as that in all my years in football! Eric Cantona should be thrown out of the game, for that sort of incident!"
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
