@MrBeast Ok

@airindia This is unacceptable. We were clearly told the delay was due to a technical issue with the aircraft and were moved to a hotel. Now my claim is rejected citing “ATC restrictions” — this is misleading.
Stop giving false reasons to customers.

[Dileep @DileepCuler]

@airindia @airindia The issue was raised on 26th March anf No updates from anyone on this matter so far. Could you please be responsible and resolve the matter.

@airindia Raised compensation request on 26th (Case ID:38248841 for delay due to technical issue. It’s been 5 days, no response.
Called multiple times—always told “escalated” & 24h callback, but no follow-up.The lack of accountability and follow-up is unacceptable.

[Dileep @DileepCuler]

@airindia @airindia I’ve already been told this multiple times, past 5 days, with promises of a 24-hour response that never came.
Please provide a clear timeline for resolution instead of generic replies. This delay has already caused financial loss and distress.
Request immediate action.

@Lenskart_com I have placed an order on 18th november and I haven't received a single update on my order. The whatsapp customer service is a joke and doesn't help with my queries...
Could you please do something about my order please

Sitting in the Fryer, India Grill GB Instead

As the red card was flashed to Amit Rohidas, the Indian hockey team, stunned into silence, raised their arms in frustration; Sukhjeet looked towards the bench ‘Help’ was the expression. Harmanpreet spoke with the umpire, but he also knew that the deed was done. With a look of disbelief, Rohidas made his way out. One of the world’s best PC first rushers must have been numb, desperately trying to process the situation as it spiralled out of hand. Opinions, conversations clogged the internet: ‘Too harsh’ some said; ‘what about the GB player who was pushing the stick from the back’; ‘It was unintentional’; all emotionally valid arguments. The rules, however, are very clear – if a stick is raised above the shoulder and it hits a player, it is deemed dangerous and can be red-carded. If leniency had been shown it could have been a ten-minute sinbin with a yellow card.

At that point, 13:10 remained to be played in Q2.
A total of 43 minutes remained in the match. In a sport where goals are scored with five seconds remaining, 43 mins was a lifetime. With ten men on the pitch, an eternity.

Matches most of the time come down to talent and strategy. But the moment, India rearranged it’s 10-man team across the pitch, this was a game that would be decided by the each and every players' mindset. This game had gone ‘mental’.

‘The mind is a powerful thing’ is a popular cliché in sports. For each of the players, breaking down over 43 minutes of extreme pressure would have been understandable or over the six plus PCs that were defended over 3 Qs.

India, somehow managed to stay afloat in Q2. A lot of match play comes from multiple practice situations. Even though you train keeping in mind green and yellow cards, a red so early disturbs the equilibrium. The switch in the mind was immediate. The ‘victim card’ wasn’t used and the meltdown against the umpiring didn’t last long; that is a huge step for Indian hockey.

When Harmanpreet Singh fired in India’s 4th PC, giving India the lead, it lent a psychological edge to the game. Gone was GB’s ascendancy. The dominion it held over the game, or believed it did, had slipped away.

GB did equalise. It came as relief for them. In Sam Ward’s and Paul Revington’s over the top emotional display on the sidelines, it meant only one thing – a fear of the match stretching out. ‘Great’ Britain was no more unflappable.

India channelled that frustration, anger, disappointment into clearing their minds. They saw the game as redemption. And, if they believed they were wronged, that change in intensity forced GB into mistakes and wrong passes.

Narratives usually showcase the dominant athlete or team. Rarely does it show their vulnerability. And as the game wore on, GB became ragged. In their mind, a clear road to the Indian goal had become a slippery slope. Rupert Shipperley, standing next to the Indian goal saw his soft deflection hit the post and go out. For a couple of seconds, he just stood there, baking in his own failure and disappointment. Off GB’s 8th PC, Sreejesh saved the flick of Ward and then kept the rebound out taking William’s shot on the glove.

Great defence depends on collective effort and teamwork. By the middle of Q3, India’s defence sat like a ten-limbed octopus in their own half of the pitch, its tentacles (players), stretching, withdrawing, altering shape, squeezing GB into corners.

For India, defence, the least glamourous part of the sport had become fun. With Sumit getting a green card, India was down to nine in the match for a couple of minutes. Manpreet, Jarmanpreet, Sumit, Harmanpreet had become the major disrupters at the back; on the line, taking care of the left and right zone of Sreejesh, they locked GB down.

By the middle of the 4th Q, GB was in a panic. As the former 2018 Asian Games winning Japanese coach Siegfried Aikman explained: “GB failed to create depth in their play. They couldn’t create attacking 2 vs 1. Played mainly in the side pockets. They couldn’t exhaust India.”

By the end, there was an inevitability to the match. In the shootout, India didn’t miss, slotting in four while GB, brains fried by now, misfired through Conor Williamson and Philip Roper.

India, as they say, had tricked their own minds.

The one thing that has helped England so far in this series is Stokes playing wisely. The Bazball was favourable to Australia in every other respects.

Give your heart and soul on the field and play within the rules of the game and shake your hands once the game is over.

The above is the only ‘spirit of the game’ I understand.
