We don’t know about Tiger But “Dhoni Zinda Hai”.

Last night at Mohali MS Dhoni almost pulled a heist against KXIP. In the opening match of IPL 2018, DJ Bravo came from nowhere and won an unbelievable match for CSK in Wankhade Stadium scoring 68 in mere 30 balls. Chennai needed approx. 50 overs in last 3 overs with just 2 wickets remaining and the magical innings happened. Mumbai Indians weren’t able to change the stats of not winning a match in opening match of the IPL in last 5 years.  
Nobody knew Sunday evening was going to very special as the Thalaiva Captain was going to rock the Mohali people with the vintage Dhoni Knock. KXIP set a target of 198 for CSK in 20 overs which looked a lot in last few overs. CSK lost regular Wickets at intervals while chasing and made themselves reach a position where they required 60 runs in last 3 overs with Bravo and tailenders still to come. Dhoni with Jadeja was playing at 24, run a ball then came Mohit Sharma to bowl. We witnessed vintage innings from the Ranchi Boy devastating Mohit Sharma and Andrew Tye in 18th and 19th over respectively. However, he wasn’t able to take the team over the line but ended up making his highest score 79 off just 44 balls with 6 boundaries and 5 sixes and won the heart of every Dhoni lover. CSK needed 17 of the last over but lost by four runs in the end.
What we saw, that Former Indian Captain can still hit sixes and hasn’t lost the potential to win the match for the team. He has been criticized for lower strike rate and losing his charm with the bat but the most successful captain of India made sure that those people stay quiet for some time with his incredible hitting power. People started talking if he could play in 2019 world cup or not looking at the fact that India has spare wicket-keepers like Dinesh Karthik, Risabh Pant in good form.

Dhoni hasn’t only silenced his critics but also ensured that IPL is going to be a very exciting tournament in coming days. There is no denying in this fact that, he is still one of the fastest runners in the team and is also maintaining a good and fit physique.

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
