I am, like any other Indian, a die-hard cricket fan who makes it a point to watch every match from the beginning till the end and make a close note of the run rates, scores, etc. Of all the matches I have watched till date, the one thing I have found the very queer is the status of Women's cricket. All of them have the grit, the ambition and the skill and perform meticulously in the cricket matches and reach to the finals, however, never win that. They were in the finals of the Women's One Day international world cup in 2005 and even in 2017, however did not win either. Why? Because women's cricket is neglected in India. It is as simple and straightforward as that. The women's team did not play a single match the entire year after the 2020 world cup final. Here, the pandemic can only be partly blamed because male cricketers played innumerable matches throughout the year, including the Indian Premier league. There is no IPL-style, T20 league for women in India. Private, ...

Russia's war on Ukraine is on its eighteenth day and a lot has taken place since it started. The future course of events is unclear at this time, but the consequences and risks to the world, particularly India, are apparent. The invasion of Ukraine has put India in an unenviable position having to choose between what is right and what it believes is right for itself. The most pressing question at the moment is what this war means for India. The answers to these questions are a bit hazy, but the need of the hour is to explore the situation we may face and why the European crisis is a plight for us. 1) India has a close, privileged partnership with Russia which is a major supplier of defence hardware and a supporter on international platforms. India continues to rely on Russia for major defence supplies. The S-400 contract with Russia is still in the talks, and is expected to bolster India's security on its northern frontiers. At the same time, over the past two decades, India...

What happens to a student’s life from March to May ?? Exams! Results!! New Class! and finally VACATIONS!! No studies, no morning alarms, no rebuke, hey it’s the fun-time!! We all enjoy vacations! But wait. If vacation is a cake that all of us enjoy, then, where is that cherry that only a few lucky ones can relish? Today, I plan on making your cake, the vacations even more flavorsome by adding a cherry to it. Yes, this summer, you brace yourself up for double fun with Internacation ! Are you perplexed? No no! it's not a vocabulary lesson from Mr. Shashi Tharoor. Internacation is simply making your vacations more classier with Internships. Dear readers, let’s go for an internacation! When I shared this brilliant idea with my dearest brother, he shouted, “Mom, Dad let’s go to Agra!” Mom: Why? Do you want to visit Taj Mahal? Brother: No, we need to admit this crazy girl to the largest mental hospital there.   Me: What, why! Brother: Why should I miss all the fun of the vacations and go...

There are numerous debates and conversations on the internet over whether printed books or e-books are the better reading medium. E-books, without a doubt, have a number of key characteristics and benefits, such as access to the complete library, easy portability, the availability of a dictionary, statistics, and so on. You can even read with one hand on a crowded train and put your time to good use. However, it has been discovered that people's enthusiasm for printed books has not perished, and they continue to read them frequently, if not exclusively. When Amazon released its first e-reader almost a decade ago, publishers began to fear that digital books would take over the world, and for a time, that concern looked well-founded. Amazon's business was booming, e-book sales had increased by more than 1,200 percent. Bookstores were hit hard, and print sales were down. However, there has been a startling increase of printed books in the previous few years. Print books are now in...
