Salman Khan
Salman Khan likes beautiful things and to prove it he has designed a van for himself.

“Salmanbhai’s van will be like his second house. This is why he wanted to design this van himself. The van will cost Rs 80 lakh. He wanted enough space in the van to park his Suzuki Hayabusa bike too, In all likelihood, the van will be ready by May 5.”

says our source.
It will cost around Rs 80 lakh Rupees.That’s nearly £100,000.

The best thing about it will be a corner where he can play carrom and other games.

Wonder if he’d sponsor some competitions?

He could call it “The Salman Khan Carrom Contest”.

We need some photos of him playing the game.

Think how that would lift Carrom’s profile if he appeared in some photos of a glossy mag., playing Carrom to relax after a hard day’s filming?

There will be two rooms in the Carromavan, a private one and a second room for meetings.

He also gets a top of the range music system, a plasma TV, a huge collection of DVDs, refrigerator, coffee machine, toilet and a shower.

The interior will be decorated using paintings done by Bhai’s himself.

More details about the Carromavan and more Salman Khan facts.

How much did he win?

K. Sahaya Bharathi of Chennai won the men’s singles title in the final of the Tamil Nadu State-carrom tournament organised by LIC Sports and Recreation Club at Madurai on Sunday.

Why are all these Carrom results written in such dry, factual terms and never any photos or human interest?

I want to see a photo of the champions, old and new.

How much money did he win, if any?

How old is he?

Is he handsome, or super-intelligent or rich?

Everyone had some interesting things about them.

Ask the right questions.

To raise Carrom’s profile in the sporting world, we need some characters.

So come on, all you Asian sports reporters, let’s see a bit more interest in your job and more interesting facts in your columns, please.

It’s over 2 years since this picture was taken. I have friends who have been back to Sri Lanka since the tsunami and they tell me things are getting better, but slowly.

Unfortunately not for everyone who survived that terrible Boxing Day.

Why is it taking so long?

I hope the people in the photo below still enjoy a game of Carrom.
