While the policy of Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation (LPG) has contributed to the significant growth in GDP of the country, the focus now needs to be on striking a balance between ecology and economy as both go hand in hand. Earlier, the focus and concern were more on economic development rather than improving the environment. However, environmentalists and other stakeholders of the country have understood that environmental issues and the economy are inter-connected. Without addressing environmental issues, development of the economy takes a back seat.

In an effort to convert ideas into action, Socio Story Foundation (SSF) is organising a virtual conference which will see experts discussing and providing the probable solutions which will help in balancing two important factors for development- Ecology and Economy.

One-of-its-kind in India, SSF will be organising the event ‘Aligning Economy with Ecology (SDG 13)’ on November 7, 2020 from 4 pm onwards. Manoj Pachauri, Founder of Socio Story, stated, “The objective of the event is to create awareness about various aspects of the environment and sustainability among youth. Sustainable living can lead to development of the country, both in terms of environment and economy. Climate change is real and it’s one of the most pressing issues in the world that requires our attention. Socio Story believes that awareness on environmental issues is important in order to sensitize youth on sustainable living.”

The registration for the event is free of cost and interested participants can register on:

Delhi Capitals has sealed its seat in the play-offs after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 wickets in the match which was played at Sheikh Zayed Stadium on November 2. DC is now at the second spot in the points table and will be facing Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 1.

Batting first, Virat Kohli led RCB managed to put up a total of only 152/7 on the board which was not difficult for DC to chase. RCB’s Devdutt Padikkal scored a brilliant 50 and he was well supported by AB de Villiers who scored 35 runs. On the other hand, DC achieved the target with 6 balls remaining in their innings with the help of superb knocks of Ajinkya Rahane (60) and Shikhar Dhawan (54). DC’s Anrich Nortje was adjudged as the player of the match for his wonderful bowling as he sent 3 RCB batsmen back to the dug-out in his spell of 4 overs in which he conceded 33 runs.

However, some netizens were not happy with DC as they were claiming that DC intentionally delayed in winning the match otherwise RCB would have gone down to the fourth spot from the third spot and it would have strengthened chances of KKR as well. Even after losing, RCB is in play-offs but it will need to win three matches in a row in order to win the IPL for the first time and in the eliminator, they will either face KKR or SRH.

The former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra was not at all happy with all those who were blaming DC for playing slow purposefully.

He took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and wrote, “Reading a lot of stuff about #DelhiCapitals purposely not winning the game inside 17.3 overs. May I please know what was in it for them to even attempt that feat??! Doosro ki diwali kharab karne ke chakkar mein Bahut log khud lut jate hain. #IPL2020”

At present, all the eyes are on the match between MI an SRH, the former is already in the play-off and the result of the match won’t have any effect on MI’s prospects. But if SRH wins, KKR will be out of the tournament.

Do you think DC played slow intentionally? Do let us know.

MS Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was the first team to be out of the race of the play-offs in the IPL 2020 but they ensured that the chances of other teams also got spoiled by defeating them. CSK made it tough for Kolkata Knight Riders to make it to the play-offs and when Sam Curran was asked about complicating things for other teams, he clearly said that it is like a motivation to ruin their opportunities to enter the play-offs.

The 22 years old English cricketer was talking to Ian Bishop before the match played against KXIP. He said that every match in the league is important and each player plays for pride. As per him, spoiling the party for other teams is good fun and they would like to mess up things for KXIP just like they did for KKR.

When Ian Bishop said that it is very naughty of him having fun spoiling other team’s chances, Sam Curran was quite straightforward as he said that other teams spoiled their chances by defeating them and now it is their turn.

Sam’s wish of defeating KXIP turned true as the Punjab team was able to score only 153/6 in the 20 overs. KXIP got a steady start with KL Rahul (29) and Mayank Agarwal (26) but their middle order failed miserably, however Deepak Hooda played a superb innings of 62 not out for which he played only 30 balls and helped his team in reaching a respectable total.

CSK chased the total easily as they lost only one wicket of Faf du Plessis (48) while Ruturaj Gaikwad played a brilliant innings of 62 runs for which he was adjudged the player of the match.

On the other hand, Dhoni accepted that the IPL 2020 was difficult for them and they also made many mistakes in the tournament. However, the former Indian cricketer also added that the last four matches can be used as templates for them to ascertain where they want to see themselves.

Sam Curran proved to be pretty useful for CSK as he not only took 13 wickets in the tournament but also scored 186 runs with 52 being his highest score.

Hopefully CSK will play better in the next IPL.

MS Dhoni is undoubtedly one of the most popular cricketers of the present times and he is loved and admired by not only aspiring young cricketers but his contemporaries as well.

The IPL 2020 was not at all good for MS Dhoni and his team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they were able to win only 6 matches out of 14 matches they have played and as a result, CSK didn’t manage to enter the play-offs for the first time in the history of the IPL. Though Dhoni didn’t even bat in his last match of the IPL 2020 which was against Kings XI Punjab, still he was trending on the social media networks because of the two words that he said at the toss.

There were some rumours that the IPL 2020 may be Dhoni’s last IPL as he has already retired from the international cricket and many opposition players were taking his signed jersey from him which further strengthened the rumours.

However at the toss when Danny Morrison asked the captain cool whether this is going to be his last match in the yellow ever, Dhoni said, “definitely not”.

In the presentation ceremony which took place after the match, Dhoni said that other cricketers may be thinking that he is retiring this year from the IPL because of which they may be asking for his jersey.

As far as the match is concerned, CSK defeated KXIP by 9 wickets and with this defeat, the journey of KXIP also ended in the IPL 2020. CSK won the toss in the match which was played Sheikh Zayed stadium and asked KXIP to bat first. The Punjab team managed only 153 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the 20 overs, thanks to the blasting innings of Deepak Hooda who scored 62 run for which he played only 30 balls.

CSK openers ensured that their team did not face any problem in winning the match as Ruturaj Gaikwad played a brilliant innings of 62 and Faf du Plessis scored 48 in 34 balls. Ambati Rayudu also supported his team by scoring 30 runs and the match ended with 7 balls remaining.

Well, it is really great news for fans of Dhoni as they will get to see Thala playing once again for CSK.

Every successful relationship is formed on the foundation of mutual trust, respect and love and most importantly, each partner has to give 100 percent when it comes to loyalty. Most of the times, we have seen that it is women who make sacrifices and adjust as per the circumstances in order to strengthen the relationship. For a woman, her family is her whole world and she will not think twice before doing anything which is necessary to save her marriage.

There are times when a man doesn’t respect the love of his wife and gets indulged in such activities which may create a rift in the relationship. A woman understands that her husband works hard so that he can give her and their kids a better life and ignores it when he starts talking on phone for long durations while making excuses that the call is related to work. Nevertheless, soon she starts observing signs which confirm that her husband is seeing another woman and that is when she faces the biggest question of her life.

What should she do to save her marriage or should she leave the cheater and get divorced. If she is a working woman, she may choose the second option and start a new life at her own terms but if she is not self-reliant, she may return to her parent’s home. But whichever of these options she chooses, the lives of kids is going to get destroyed, so what should she do to sort out everything?

She has the choice of crying at her destiny or making her own destiny by throwing the other woman out of her husband’s life and reclaiming her man. Here we present a powerful short story entitled “Pudiya” which depicts a similar sort of story and it’s something every woman who ever thought of giving up should watch to regain strength of living life for herself and her kids.

In the video, the protagonist Brinda decides to get her husband back and though some may feel that her method was not correct, those who have ever faced a similar situation will agree that she did the right thing with her husband who broke her trust.

Here is the video:

Knowledge is a great power and you must know how to use it for your benefit when the time comes. Brinda finally got her husband back with the use of her knowledge of Ayurveda and although not every woman is knowledgeable enough like her, there are definitely some means to make the partner realize your importance, love and care. Moreover, men should respect the trust of their wives who come from a different surrounding to spend their entire life with them and in return, they just wish to be loved back with honesty, loyalty and some care. Never cheat on someone who considers you as her world!

There have been times when the results of cricket matches have been severely affected by the mistakes committed by the on-field umpires. Most of the times, the matter is not taken seriously as umpires are also humans but sometimes, it is impossible to believe that an umpire can make such a silly mistake. Something similar happened in the match played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore which was played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 31.

During the SRH innings, the RCB bowler Isuru Udana was bowling and while throwing a delivery, the ball slipped off from his hand due to the dew and went as a waist high full toss to the batsman Kane Williamson. The Kiwi cricketer played a shot towards fine leg and then he looked towards the umpire expecting him to give it a no-ball but the umpire seemed to be not at all concerned about it.

This umpiring mistake pissed off many people from the cricket fraternity including the Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh who took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and posted a video of the delivery with caption, “No this isn’t a no ball” with confusing and laughing emojis.

Here is the tweet:

As far as the match is concerned, SRH defeated RCB in a comfortable manner. David Warner won the toss and put RCB to bat first. However, the batsmen of RCB failed miserably and they managed only 120 runs at the loss of 7 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. Josh Philippe was the top scorer for RCB with 32 runs.

Chasing a small target of 121 runs, SRH also lost its skipper early but Wriddhiman Saha (39) and Manish Pandey (26) stabilized the innings and the finishing touch was given by Jason Holder who scored 26 in just 10 balls. SRH won the match by 5 wickets with 35 balls remaining to bowl and Sandeep Sharma of SRH was adjudged player of the match for taking 2 wickets and conceding only 20 runs in his 4 over spell.

This was certainly one of the silliest umpiring mistakes. What do you say?

Rohit Sharma is undoubtedly an integral part of the Indian cricket team but at present, he is at the center of a controversy which doesn’t seem to end any sooner. The skipper of Mumbai Indians suffered hamstring injury in a match against Kings XI Punjab and since then, he has not been a part of MI’s playing XI.

Recently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the list of the Indian squad for the Australian tour in which India will play 4 test matches, 3 ODIs and the same number of T20Is. Many former cricketers and fans were left surprised as Rohit Sharma was not included in the squad, though BCCI stated that they would be monitoring the injury status of Rohit Sharma and Ishant Sharma, the Indian pacer. Many including former cricketer Virender Sehwag opined that since the Australian tour is a long tour, the selectors have been harsh on Rohit Sharma by excluding him.

But the real shock came for everyone when Mumbai Indians posted photos of Rohit Sharma practicing on nets on its social media accounts. Cricket fans and people from the cricket fraternity were of the opinion that the Mumbai franchise should have issued a statement in regard to Rohit’s fitness or at least Hitman himself could have made a post on social media to give an update of his fitness. While the debate is still on, the head coach of the Indian cricket team Ravi Shastri has opened up on this matter.

Ravi Shastri says that getting injured is the most frustrating thing for a player and there are times when a player wants to check himself as to how soon he may make a comeback on the field. He further adds that the problem arises when a player decides to test himself but it is also true that only a player knows completely whether he is 100 percent fit or not.

The former Indian cricketer narrated his own example and explained how an act committed in haste can finish the career of a player. He said that in 1991, he went back to Australia to play which was his mistake. As per him, the doctors instructed him not to go but he didn’t listen to them and went there as he was greedy and eventually, his career got finished because of that. He added that he could have played for 4-5 more years if had not made that mistake and instead had taken a break of 3-4 months.

Ravi Shastri goes on to say that as Rohit is a very important player, he should exercise patience and restraint otherwise he may also face some problem.

What do you think in regard to what Ravi Shastri said for Rohit Sharma? Do you agree with him? Let us know your views.
