Quote Of The Day*
All the goals and success that we achieve in life is the outcome of what we have dreamt and wished for. Miracles first take place in our mind and then in reality. So we must never rest and keep working hard until we achieve our aim.

TWITTER
ANNOUNCES
ITS PAID SUBSCRIPTION
MODEL!
Yes, you heard it right, Twitter is
about to start a subscription for the users interested. Previously Twitter had
confirmed that they were about to introduce their very own paid service model,
and some reports which came up recently have seemed to clear the dust upon the
idea. Twitter has decided to call its subscription as ‘Blue’. The immediate
thought coming to mind after reading this is the cost of the subscription. The
subscription is priced ‘Twitter Blue’ will take $2.99 away from your pocket
every month. It aims at giving the users a feel of the premium experience of
Twitter. Additional features include collections for bookmarks and the most
awaited Undo tweets. Reports suggest Twitter could make for a level-
subscription model, as in more paying users receiving a more premium
experience.

THE WIVES OF KRISHNA: PART 1
Lord Krishna, was the eighth avatar of
Lord Vishnu. He was also known as Leela Dhar, literally in Layman terms, was
the man desired by all women. According to the legend of Narkasura, Lord
Krishna, after killing Narkasura, freed almost 16000 women from the demon’s
harem. These women pleaded to the Lord,” Oh Great One, we are polluted due to
the presence of the evil demon, who kidnapped us. If we go back, we are sure
that even our families won’t accept us. Hence, for the sake of our chastity,
and our innocence, we plead to you, to marry us.” Lord Krishna, seeing no other
way to help his devotees, who were begging for him, married all the 16000
women. Keeping this in mind, the ancient scriptures describe 8 of Lord
Krishna’s wives, who are revered the most, and are considered the chief wives
of the Lord, as the Ashtabharya, the Chief Eight.
Satyabhama: She is the second wife of Lord Krishna and is the most described one. She is known to be the daughter of Satrajit, the treasurer of the Yadavas. Her marriage is hugely considered, as an atonement to the Lord, of falsely accusing him, for stealing the most prized treasure of the Yadavas, the Samyantaka Jewel. She is also known for helping Lord Krishna defeat Narkasura.

Jambavati: Jambavati is said to be the third wife in importance but second wife, in order of marriage. She was the daughter of Jambhuvan, the King of the bears, and the character from the Ramayana, where he is depicted as the advisor of Vanaraj Sugriva. She is associated with the Syamantaka Jewel episode.

INDIA’S BEST WORKPLACE
What comes to your mind when you think of the Indian Army?
Battlefields, guns and grenades, right? But the Indian Army is not limited to
battles, wars, guns and tanks; the Army is a way of life. The training which
you have to undergo before getting commissioned in the Army leaves you with no
option but being disciplined, determined and physically fit. Life in the Army
is a lot more than operating guns and tanks; the Army gives you a lot more.
There is a diverse range of careers in the Army itself, from Engineers to
technicians, from cooks to pilots – all professionals have their own duties in
the Army.
The Army is comprised of various Corps; The Medical Corps,
The Corps of Signals to name a few. The different Corps have been bestowed with
different roles, each of which is essential for the coordination and proper
functioning of the Army. For example, The Medical Corps, as its name suggests,
is responsible for the medical needs of the Army, The Army Aviation Corps is
responsible for the transport of troops, food and ammunition across the country
to extremely remote places as well, The Corps of Signals is responsible for the
communication within the Army and so on. All these Corps help to make the Army
an almost independent organization.
Where else would a doctor, sportsman, pilot, engineer, technician, cook, lawyer, paramedic and most importantly, a patriot come together to serve the nation while simultaneously pursuing their respective professions? The Army is a workplace where officers and soldiers live to protect the nation, pursue their hobbies, develop their talents and live a disciplined life. The Army explains all this precisely in a single line in its moto. Indian Army, A Life Less Ordinary
LIFELY LUMINOUS
From a
chaotic, bustling evening,
to a calm
night
A highway
laden with lights,
Comes in
sight.
I
ponder,
What does it
signify?
Anything
probably my life wishes to unfold,
In future,
that may lie.
Relations
seem like the twist and turns on the road.
Every curve
leading to a new way, a new route in the journey.
It's beyond
the facade of materialistic greed.
A matter of
bonds, than money.
The cars
moving by,
Are the
individuals of immense significance.
They're with
you in every smile and sorrow.
Who make you
smile in their presence?
I could
somehow compare this scenery with my life.
Relevant
things made me realise.
Life is
short, make it large.
Start now,
take the charge.

CRICKET
BCCI ASKED ECB TO MODIFY
THE SCHEDULE
OF THE 5 MATCH
TEST SERIES
BETWEEN ENGLAND
AND INDIA?
Ever since the suspension of the IPL 2021, people have been wondering when they would get to see their favourite cricketers back in action again. Though the BCCI has not specifically mentioned any open window that they would like to target, cricket experts are busy finding the best time period in which the IPL can be played. This issue popped up again, as there were some reports doing the rounds on the internet yesterday. The report suggested that the BCCI had contacted ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) regarding starting the 5- match test series between England and India a bit early than scheduled and reducing the time period between the following 5 tests. This will help make the September window available to conduct the IPL. In this window, the IPL can be either conducted in UAE or in England. But contrastingly, the ECB has refused of receiving any such requests from the BCCI. Reports also suggest that both the boards are in very much contact with each other and are having proper information about their whereabouts. Reports decline any such official talk between the BCCI and ECB to alter the schedule of the test series to make room for the IPL to be played. After the World Test Championship Final at Southampton form 18 June to 22 June, India plays its next test match in England on August 4th. If the ECB by any means could just conduct the matches a bit earlier than the schedule it could open up a potential window for the IPL. The BCCI could keep an eye on this window for the completion of the remaining IPL. As of now, reports do not seem to confirm any official communication between the ECB and the BCCI. Hoping to see new updates on the schedule of the IPL soon. When do you feel the IPL should be conducted? Do comment! The most valid comment would get a mention in the next blog.

FOOTBALL
ATLETICO MADRID ON VERGE OF GLORY, BUT REAL MADRID READY
TO PUNISH ANY SLIP UPS
The La Liga title race is
down to wire with city rivals Atletico & Real Madrid in contention to be
crowned Spanish Champions. A win for Atletico Madrid would see them being
crowned champions as they hold the pole position to win the title with a
2-point lead going into the season finale. However, Real Valladolid will also
give this game their all as they are in desperate need to clutch 3 points to
avoid relegation. “Their needs are different, but just as important. Both teams
will give everything in this match.” Diego Simeone when asked about how he will
be approaching the final match of the season.
Real Madrid will take on
Villarreal at the same time at the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium. However, Unai
Emery has admitted that his players will go into this game with the Europa League
final against Manchester United 4 days hereafter in mind. This explains how
Real are still in the game for the title despite not having their destiny in
their own hands. They can come out on top if they finish the season on par with
points with Atletico thanks to their superior head-to-head goal advantage. With
the other tie taking place at the same time, Simeone was asked whether he will
be following events from there. “As has been the case all season, we will try
to focus on what we have to do.” Was his reply. Atletico are poised to see
themselves through against a relegation bound side to land the La Liga trophy at
the red half of Madrid for the first time since 2014.
