 I would really like to watch Sirkali Govindarajan’s son sing “Sabapathikku veru deivam samaanamaaguma?” 

I’ve been (unsuccessfully) on the lookout for a video for a while now. I’ve always wondered if he’d be inclined to deliver the lines from the charanam:

“Oru dharam Sivachidambaram endruraithal podhumae..

Paragathi pera veru punniyam panna venduma?”

sombrely or with a smug grin. 

Perhaps it’s to avoid this conundrum that he’s stayed a safe distance away from this composition?

How was the name of the Indian cricket administration arrived at? 

Clearly, they must have started with the four essential words: What is it? It's a board. What does it do? It controls. What? The cricket. Where? India. 

And then what? "Pick out prepositions", the Mylapore¹ mamas alliterated adroitly, "at random, out of a bowl!"

It just as well might've been:

Board for control of cricket in India

Board in control of cricket for India 

Board in control for cricket of India

Were:

Board of control of cricket of India, and

Board in control of cricket in India

rejected because someone stipulated that each preoposition ought to be used only once?

Notably², just under a century later, the President for in of the United States of  and America would attempt to demonstrate a state of (nominal) compos mentis without the benefit of aforementioned mamas or their sensible secretaries to clean up his word salad.

Person (behind) Camera (maybe) Man (or) Woman (from) TV?

¹The BCCI was registered under the Tamilnadu Societies Registration Act in 1928.
