Ladies & Gentlemen
The moment the nation has been waiting for has arrived!
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in #TeamIndia jersey. Witness this incredibly special moment ❤️
India just won its third match in the trot in the AVC Cup, a come from behind win against an excellent Chinese Taipei team in front of a packed house in Ahmedabad.
Incredible how it felt to see an Indian team being literally cheered to victory in a volleyball international.
Hope it's the start of something special, we're 52nd ranked globally and rapidly improving.
I have no idea what happened in Kolkata in the Messi event. But I couldn't help thinking that we Indians really do not like sport. We like stars.
What else could explain the millions, and I mean millions of dollars we spend to fly in superstars, when they will not even play a proper match.
I am ok with paying whatever it takes to bring in a top football team to play in India, like Messi did in 2011 or Tata Steel did for a long time in the 80s and 90s.
But getting them to come here just to shake hands and pose for pictures defies all reason. They will sell real estate, take pictures with every sponsor and go back with more money in two days than say the I League used to spend in a year.
I don't blame the organizers for getting into this, its a really profitable business, because the politicians are getting serious free mileage and the sponsor is spending his, or his company's money to fulfil his childhood fantasy. The journalists are overawed just to be there with a generational superstar, lots of folks are spending a reported Rs 10 lacs for a handshake and a photo op and the real estate guys are busy pushing deals.
That's millions of bucks spent on a footballer, whose closest attempt at action would be kicking a few footballs at the crowd or dribbling for a few minutes. Money that is desperately desperately needed elsewhere in actual football. Real camps, matches, ground level sponsorships. Or even to revive a football league.
And then we expect India to be better at sport!
Despite being in a 5G zone, my Unlimited 5G data still doesn’t work. Called the toll-free number multiple times, visited the store too — no resolution.

This is how you treat loyal customers?

135 may not be a winning score. But the West Indies can fight. And fight they must be the home crowd behind them; and a South Africa that may be tested in a run chase in a critical game
#WIvsSA#T20WorldCup
Oh my Gosh!! South Africa cricket & the art of choking in the crunch situations!!! From 86-4 with a req run rate of 4.86, they somehow managed to take the match into the last over!! Finally it was Marco Jansen & Kagiso Rabada who took them home!!
Let me tell you Amit even the Indian players aren’t very happy with having to play all day games only in extreme conditions. There are no flights within Islands - imagine for the Indian media and Indian fans there are no flights to go to Guyana for semis, and back to Barbados for finals Just in case.
Nothing but admiration for the manner in which the spirited players from #PapuaNewGuinea looked @windiescricket in the eye without blinking for 37 overs. May our game flower in your beautiful land. #WIvsPNG.
My playing XI for the IPL final. Arsalan, India, Shiraz, Aminia, Zeeshan, Royal, Zam Zam, Oudh, Dada Boudi, Kabuliwallah, Biriyanishq. Impact players - Hanglatherium, D Bapi, Manzilat, Karims, Nizam. Will just need to see off the spells of Paradise, Bawarchi and Biriyaniwallah.
I already visited RPO Hyderabad around six times in the last three months. The only thing which I denied was bribing the police officer for which I'm suffering till date.I look forward to hearing from you ASAP.
The lack of communication and transparency on the part of the passport office only exacerbates the situation. I urge you to expedite the processing of my application and provide me with a clear timeline for when I can expect to receive my passport.
