Why we lost the CWC 23?!

Image
In arguably the best World Cup season we've had so far all up until the finals, at least of all that I've witnessed, the ending was a classic disappointment. What's weirder is there isn't anyone in the team you can actually hold accountable for this dramatic defeat. Virat, Rohit, and Shami gave it their all and you couldn't have asked for more from them. So did Bumrah! What's even more appreciable is that this season, at least in those 10 wins, India really played like a team. The batsmen did their jobs nicely and the bowlers, all of them in the starting 11 had 10+ wickets.   Taking no respect away from the Aussies and Cummins' exceptional strategic approach, yesterday if someone or something had a bigger factor to add to the game than Travis Head, then it was the due factor, surely. We hoped the slow pitch which usually offers less bounce for the ball would come in handy in the second innings as well like it did in the fi...

ISRO - Chandrayaan - 3 🇮🇳

Image
ISROs Chandrayaan-3 has successfully landed on the moon. India has now created history by being the fourth nation to land on the moon after Russia, USA, and China, while India is the first country to do so on the south pole of the moon. Our honourable professor, Dr. Amitava Gupta of the Power Engineering department of Jadavpur University, was always linked with this project through several articles and media. JU was handed a number of research projects by ISRO under their RESPOND scheme and sir's scope aimed at Hardware-in-Loop simulation for autonomous landers which could be applicable for planetary explorations. A lunar lander simulator was considered in the form of a design of the actual systems. However, ISRO is yet to officially share a statement on this.  The great feat India has thus achieved will surely help research sectors and scientific study developments across the country, which as of recently were not directed wisely. This remarkable achievement shows Indi...

The Abysmal State of Indian Football

Image
If India were today to play a match against world's mighty Brazil, India would be more than happy to not concede more than three goals. Or perhaps five! A 2-0 loss might feel okay to do. A 1-0 might feel uplifting. A 1-0 'loss', might I! Not a 1-0 win, no: that's impossible! India is ranked 104 in a list of more than 200 football playing nations. Surely, the second most populated and one of the fastest developing countries in the world is capable of way more than that!  It is true to say Indian Football is in a mess. The team is, the management is; so is marketing, investment and political orientation. If any remedial structure isnt considered immediately, the whole system will crumble down to the ground.  Why do I say this?  The Political Instability Well, it's not unheard of that few weeks ago the Indian National Football team was nullified by FIFA, even temporarily so. This was done because (esteemed) FIFA found political disability within the governi...

WTC Final 2021

Image
A ramshackle display of opportunities and decisions saw Indian Cricket team take a hard blow on a  6-day soggy WTC Final 2021 against the well-balanced and deserving Blackcaps. There were displays of great bowling from Shami and Ishant Sharma, an exquisite spin spell from Ash, and even an innings performance from the Indian skipper Virat Kohli and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane; although, everything kind of just shattered when India took to bat in the second innings. That mindset to win even in that rugged situation was certainly there, I am sure if it, but no one could see it in their game. Tough luck for Team India as we managed to choke in the biggest stage of Test cricket, thereby forfeiting our chance of being crowned the only nation to have conquered the world in all three formats of cricket, in the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship itself. Well, that title would still be up for grabs in 2023, since it's the Blackcaps who have established their dominan...

The Kolkata Derby ❤️💚❤️💛

    Although Indian sports is defined by the achievements of the country in sports as such Cricket and Hockey, it would be wrong to say Football, the most popular game in the world, is not a majorly followed sport in the Indian Subcontinent. Various parts of India do not just watch football, they embrace football, they live football; especially those parts of the Northeast and the southern states of Kerala and Karnataka, and most especially, the city of Kolkata. This article showcases the biggest rivalry in Kolkata, the biggest rivalry in India, and one of the biggest rivalries in the entire world, of football; the famous encounter between the teams of Mohun Bagan AC (footballing department being called ATK Mohun Bagan) and SC East Bengal; the Kolkata Derby.   Club Details :      Mohun Bagan AC was founded on 15 August 1889; 131 years ago (as Mohun Bagan Sporting Club). The president of the Club is Swapan Sadhan Bose and the football team manager is Antoni...
