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.

Chapter-5, A story of “HE” and “SHE” and how dream made him do things.

…after that they have only seen each other on Instagram or Facebook.   (continued from chapter 4) After few months they stopped talking to each other on WhatsApp. It felt like the end of his one-sided short love. Next morning “HE” woke up with a dream in which they were fighting against all the odds for their love. The guy took some inspiration from the dream and didn’t want to let his love down. His love wasn’t mutual so he had very little chance of succeeding in it.  He thought, he better tells his feelings to her before it gets too late otherwise he would regret it his whole life. He was very sure this time unlike other times that he would tell her about his love. The guy was playing his last card to make her own, but God had written some other fate for both. “HE” finally wrote a proposal and thought twice before sending it to her. I would have loved to quote his proposal but that will be breaching the privacy line. The proposal was precise and had a lot of inf...

Chapter 2, We played Cricket on mountains

In chapter 1, I opened about how I got into this mass communication. In this chapter I will tell you about the experiences of field. When I was done with graduation, I was looking for a job. Even though I wanted it to be related to journalism but I didn’t get one. There were people back from hometown telling me to find one and utilise my time.   My brother had a friend, who got me hooked with my first job as a content writer which didn’t last more than 20 days. Neither I enjoyed working there nor they paid enough for me to stay. Once, when I was working there I got a call from someone whom I knew from my previous internship asking me to work for a   web portal in Himachal Pradesh. I was more than happy to take that offer into consideration and after talking to my parents I finally decided to take that. That’s how I reached Himachal Pradesh probably one of the beautiful places I have ever been and found myself a dream job. It was really awesome roaming between mountain...
