As it happens.

277/1,72 needed run a ball, Two batsman playing in full flow at 100+, Dhoni, Rahane, Jadaeja Still to come and still you end at 323 all out in an ODI cricket match. This is only possible when you are up against world no. 1 team Australia. More India loose that match than Aussies won it. It was one of those matches where India saw defoliation as they lost their last 9 wickets for mere 46 runs.

It all started at Canberra with kangaroos winning the toss and deciding to bat first. Aussies openers were right on money by adding 187 in less than 30 overs for the first wicket. Aaron finch (107)was the top scorer for Aussies  Rest of the work was by completed by quick fire innings of Smith and Maxwell which took Australians to a total of 348 in 50 overs. Ishant Sharma was the most successful and expensive bowlers with figures of 77/4.


Chasing a mammoth total of 349 against world number one team at their home, India started very well by notching up 80 runs in first powerplay with a loss of very aggressive looking in-form Rohit Shrama. India’s no. 2&3, Dhawan and Kohli respectively, then took the charge against World Champion and played strokes all around the ground. It seemed like a cake walk for India at a time and  they would win the match with some balls to spare but Australian bowlers had second thought in their mind. With some exception bowling effort they made Kangaroos had the last laugh. They continued their winning streak of 18 matches at home and took lead of 4-0 in the series by beating world no. 2 team by 23 runs.

Aussie seamer Kane Richardson was the hero of the match and deservedly given MOM for his outstanding 5 wicket haul. Now the last thing Indian cricket fans would be wanting to not to be white washed on saturday at Sydney.

What happened yesterday...

I am writing after few days just because I am confused about the way things are going in my life. I have been thinking about getting a new job because I am not satisfied with the present one. This is going on for over a month and my conscious mind thinks that I deserve a better job. When you see less deserving, less skillful and less qualified person becoming your team leader, it is obvious to get these thoughts. I did journalism with a lot of hopes attached with it, that one day I will do something which I will love and I will also get paid for it but the world seems very cruel when things don’t go your way. I have been active on job portals more than at the current job to find something good. It has hardly been a year and I am having second thoughts on my career. I know that I shouldn’t get this impatient so early in my career but I could feel that I am struggling in finding an appropriate place to show my skills which is a genuine problem of this generation but more than that I

Two days of nation love.

15 th  august is a day when patriotism for our country gets it ’s year high TRP. This is the day when all the legendary patriotic songs come to play their role to inspire us, to reignite the spirit of patriotism, to give goosebumps, to bring tears, to give nostalgia from school days of independence day celebration. Oh! I remembered, there are actually only two days in a year when we remember the sacrifices of never dying memory of freedom fighters and martyrs. Rest of the 362 days we spend on cheating, stealing, being bad to others, polluting, being corrupt or littering. We think that two days of so-called nationalism and patriotism is good enough for the country to grow and develop. Standing for the national anthem and saluting it on the republic and the independence day is not good enough to make us a contributor in making our country a better place. What we need is, commitment of the whole year, actually whole life. Everyone don’t need to do charity to become a contributor i

Review of article "Wings Over Rajpath" from Geopoltics Magazine.

Refer to “WINGS OVER RAJPATH” (Geopolitics January 2016) by Mayank Singh . In this article writer has rightly explained that how a Republic day is made more special by Air show of Helicopters, Sukhoi, Dhruv, Chakra etc. The writer mentioned that viewers either watching live or on televisions enjoy a lot that moment when tricolor flutter in blue sky playing hide and seek with our eyes disappearing in to the clouds. There are three types of aircraft which participate and all take off from different locations. Fighters, transport and Helicopters have which have different speed and they cover different locations. Visibility of these shows are really important in the overall planning of the display. With visibility decreasing the aircraft have to be brought closer to the VIP and the public and then line of sight also has to be adjusted. The author briefly described how much hard work they have to do before performing on 26 th jan and in front of the president, prime minister and thou
