In December 2011, I googled to see if any link shows up with my name with initials "K.R.Dinakar". I thought of listing and saving links here as and when I found. I have found quite a few, besides the ones that linkss my blogposts. There are a few from the cricket reports in the press also. I list a few.
2005 that weekday, but there was a cricket match and I did not want to miss both somehow! Our team lost toss and we were asked to bat. I wanted to finish my quota of 9 overs and attend office late, but then I found myself opening the batting. I could not get out and my stay extended to such a time that I had to apply leave for the day as I had to bowl in the afternoon session! My team mates did not hint me I had crossed 90. I was out for 94 playing a rather loose stroke. :( It could have been the only century by me for The Mysore Gymkhana. But this it remains the highest score by me for our club (besides the 3 centuries scored for my employer). http://www.hindu.com/2005/02/20/stories/2005022003981800.htm

During a cricket league match, we had this reporter from The Times of India on the ground. As I was with him on the outfield during our team's batting, we saw what is reported here in this link and he (also a former team mate) mentions my name in his write-up the following day.

Bhopal 2007. Cricket tournament. The organizers still have this on their site. List of players.

My letter published in Star of Mysore some time ago, but I was surprised that that is added here in this site. This is about garbage burning problem, in our city and esp. close to our house.

There are a few links where I have placed some comments also, but I've not included it, but for this for a sample. http://churumuri.wordpress.com/2006/06/02/pinda-uruliso-is-not-a-cry-from-paschima-vahini/

I had contributed on request, a write-up on Katte for Star of Mysore. Somaari Katte. This site has that write-up here: http://www.ourkarnataka.com/Articles/starofmysore/katte1.htm My name is shown at the end.... it is actually me, this blogger.
My name was showing up in some other links also, Curious, I peeped into them because I thought my name and initials together were rare and not as common as a Smith or Shankar or Salman. I was surprised when I found that 'I am' a doctor http://wikimapia.org/7414740/Dr-K-R-Dinakar-s-Residence and also a leading Corporate Lawyer in Bangalore and living in Basavanagudi also! See this link!

I was boasting that I was the only one with the initials and name put together. I now realize there may still be more and I shall stop boasting from now onward!
