Had an upcoming UAE trip from 19 March with bookings in Palm Jumeirah & Abu Dhabi. Emirates and Marriott were extremely understanding and helped with cancellations given the situation.
But @Cleartrip bookings made via @HDFC_Bank PayZapp refused to cancel without penalty + “convenience” charges. Disappointing how global companies show empathy while some Indian platforms do not care.
When Sanju Samson's wife was holding the Player of the series trophy, Suryakumar's wife was telling him to take care of it because it gets scratched a lot. So what did Sanju Samson's wife do? She wrapped a jersey over the trophy to protect it from scratches. She thought she would keep it safe at home. This is the price of that Player of the Tournament trophy.❤️🥲
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the “greatest” to ever grace the cricket field - Sir Kirti Azad ♥️
India’s historic 1983 Cricket World Cup victory surely wouldn’t have been possible without his massive contribution, 21 runs and 1 wicket across 3 matches and a memorable 0 in the final🔥
And of course, achievements like these are rare. After all, scoring 135 runs in Tests and 269 in ODIs is something only legends manage. Truly one of a kind.
I had never imagined the amount of hate a few Indians have for the people of Gujarat!
One said that, Ahmedabad is not a sporting city nor it has a sporting culture.
If Ahmedabad is not a sporting city and does not have sporting culture then, how does 3 players of #TeamIndia come from Ahmedabad?
In Mumbai too, more than 50% of crowd comes from Thane, Virar, Pune, Nashik, Surat and even Ahmedabad..
Another one said, crowd does not stand behind the team when going is rough for the team..In comparison Mumbai and Bangalore crowds are more supportive to team.
I dont know about Bangalore, but in Mumbai only 4 days back, crowd had gone totally quiet when the English players were tonking our bowlers..
The last one complained about price of a glass/bottle of water at the stadium..
Idiot everybody knows that prices of water, bewrages and food are exorbitant in stadiums everywhere in India.
If he found the prices to be very high, he always had an option to sit at home in an Air conditioned room , watched the match sipping unlimited purified water at no cost..
If I take a flight and the baggage limit is 15 kg, if I carry 16 kg then I'll pay only for the extra 1 kg, not for the full 16 kg.
But on Swiggy, I ordered lassi from 7.3 km away. I have a Swiggy One subscription where delivery is free up to 7 km.
Instead of charging for the extra 300 meters, they charged me for the full 7.3 km. Makes no sense.
Ahmedabad ke flats ke bathroom ke size ke flat mein rehne waley Narendra Modi stadium ko criticise kar rahein hai !
Obviously..

Wankhede enthusiasts are not able to digest the fact that places other than South Bombay can also host world-class events. Their elite bubble is busting for good.
Ahmedabad -- Several IPL FINALs.
Ahmedabad - Two World Cup FINALs.
Ahmedabad -- Coldplay's concert over 223,000 fans attended the two-night show, with a peak of 134,000 on Jan 26, 2025.
Ahmedabad -- Commonwealth Games on Oct 2030.
The best City of India & Liberals have started to hate this City.
#INDvsNZ
Do you know the 2019 Cricket World Cup was most controversial
It did not decide on the basis of batting, bowling & fielding
But on the basis of just one man’s throws
Yes throws from the boundary
And his name is Martin Guptil
In semi final
He threw the ball from boundary directly to the stumps taking Dhoni’s wicket. With this NZ entered final & India exited
In the Final
Same Guptil, threw the ball again from boundary but this time it hit Ben Stokes & went straight to boundary. With this NZ lost & England Won
An interesting take of throws from just one man
Deciding the fate of entire World Cup

Sometimes when the system fails, God’s plan works perfectly.
Just as predicted!!
Dubai heavily relies on Patriot and THAAD missile defense systems both manufactured in the 🇺🇸 United States.
The 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates depends on US technology, US training, and US support for maintenance and integration.
That raises a serious question if everything runs on external backing, how independent is the defense architecture really?
And if Iran’s missile strategy can still create pressure despite advanced Western systems, does that mean even top-tier technology has its limits? Even US technology failed?
Modern cities, luxury skylines, financial power all of that means little if core defense capability isn’t self-reliant.
No matter how advanced you look, true strength lies in independent and resilient security!
Lesson for Dubai!!!

खामनेई की मौत हो चुकी है। अमेरिका के हमले जारी रहेंगे । ईरान अब सबसे बड़े हमले की बात कर रहा है।
अमेरिका तक तो ईरान के मिसाइल नुक़सान पहुँचाने से रहे लेकिन मिडिल ईस्ट में मासूम लोग शिकार हो रहे। उधर ईरान में भी मासूम मारे जा रहे।
सद्दाम को मार दो, मादुरो को उठा लो, अफ़ग़ानिस्तान में घुस जाओ और फिर सब छोड़छाड़ के निकल आओ.. ऐसे अनगिनत उदाहरण हैं। इस दुनिया को बर्बाद करने में अमेरिका ने जितना योगदान दिया है शायद ही किसी और देश ने दिया होगा।
