9 years ago on this day, Aizawl FC beat Mohun Bagan 1-0, setting up their historic top-division league win five days later.

Crazy match, huge crowd despite rain, seemed like half of Mizoram had descended on the stadium to witness history.

Couldn't see much of the match because clouds were blocking the view. The press box was standing room only. Somehow managed to balance the laptop on a plastic chair and file my story.

One of those moments you never forget in your life.

The magic of the I-League in its heyday remains unparalleled, and Aizawl FC pulled off perhaps the greatest underdog triumph in the history of Asian football.

Two models for Delimitation

>Pro-rata expansion
>Population based model

A population-based model could reduce seats in southern states and can diminish their political influence. In this model:

Kerala: 20——>14 seats
Karnataka: 28——>26 seats
Telangana: 17———>15 seats
Tamil Nadu: 39———>30 seats
Andhra Pradesh: 25——>20seats

The pro-rata expansion plan proposes increasing Lok Sabha seats from 543 to around 816, while keeping relative shares largely unchanged.

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy proposed 50:50 hybrid formula suggests allocating seats based on both population economic contribution.

@WorldPentathlon Watching the world cup for the first time. I must say kudos to the tram. The new format is pretty good. I remember how the old Olympic format was always pretty long. This is exciting and crisp. Already looking forward to the next WC. Love from India! 🤩

BJP looted 44 lakh crore rupees from taxes on petroleum.

They give three reasons for utilisation of this loot:

1. Repayment of Oil bonds
2. New roads were built
3. People are getting cash subsidies through DBT

All three reasons are misleading.

1. Oil Bonds repayments:

• Out of 44 lakh crore, only 3.3 lakh crore was the repayment.

• It is Just 7% of total tax on petroleum.

• For every ₹1 repaid, ₹13 was pocketed BY THE Modi government.

2. Roads were built

• NHAI debt in 2025 was ₹3.35 lakh crore, twice the oil bonds!

• The roads are being privatised and toll this year was nearly 73000 crore rupees.

• Roads were built on borrowed money, future tolls are pledged to repay loans and reward investors, and people continue to pay rising tolls to drive on those roads.

3. The money went to the poor

The subsidy bill has actually drastically fallen during Modi regime, since 2014.

• Total Subsidy share of budget: fell from 16.3% → 13.06%

• Petroleum subsidies: collapsed from 5.1% → 0.24%

• Fertilizer subsidy: reduced 9.6 % → 7.33%

• Housing subsidy is stagnant

• DBT didn’t expand welfare, it rebranded existing schemes and reduced the budgets

The Debt Trap

• the total debt goes up from 55 lakh crore rupees in 2014 to 218.63 lakh crore rupees in current financial year!

• India now pays ₹11 lakh crore/year in interest alone

• Every citizen carries ₹1.5 lakh in debt, not counting off-budget liabilities

Broadcasters in India treat the Olympics like a festival, you show up, put on some face paint, cheer for 15 days, and then pack it all away in a box for four years.

🚨 SHANE WARNE - THE MASTERMIND. 🚨

📢 Shane Warne took a salary of just 9.35cr from Rajasthan Royals for playing for 4 seasons, but here’s the real twist:

⚠️ He demanded a 0.75% equity in RR every year till the time he plays for coming out of retirement!

❗️Warne played for 4 seasons and secured 3% equity in Rajasthan Royals.

💰Today, RR is sold for 15,301cr and his 3% becomes 460cr for his children. 🤯👏

Not so fun fact, the organizers of the games were so unprepared for a Ukrainian to win gold that the ceremony was delayed for an hour.
They initially hung the Ukrainian flag upside down and realized they didn't even have a recording of the national anthem. After Ukrainian team refusing offers to play the russian or soviet anthem instead (!!!), a Ukrainian team official had to rush back to the Olympic Village to retrieve a recording found in the bag of fellow skater Liudmyla Mykhailovska for the Ukrainian anthem to be played.
