K. C. Vijaya Kumar reports. TOUR DIARY ‘Where the rain is born' The moment you enter Kerala, you will sight innumerable hoardings that peddle jewellery shops, wedding saris and hawai chappals.

What's become of Wenger?It was Wenger who brought Thierry Henry from Juventus to Highbury for GBP10 million, turning him with such huge success from a right winger into a prolific centre forward (They'd first been together at Monaco). Wenger who took Patrick Vieira from Milan's reserves, Wenger who snatched the 15-year-old Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona and boldly, successfully, gambled on him to succeed Vieira as the fulcrum — despite his smaller size — of the Arsenal midfield.
