No more 5-Day Test Cricket

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

The upcoming first test between South Africa and Zimbabwe will be a special one, given its special rules and regulations. A test match is scheduled for a 5-day cricket with 90 overs each day. The ICC has taken the decision to increase the number of over that needs to be bowled in 98 overs. The 5-day match will be now reduced to 4-day match.

Previously, excluding the lunch break and tea break between sessions, there used to be a 6-hour play on the field. To accommodate the extra 8 overs, 30 minutes are added to the day’s play. This takes the total play time to 6 hours 30 minutes

Another rule change was the minimum runs required to enforce a follow-on. In the past, a team needed to have a minimum of 200 runs to enforce the follow-on. With the change in the rule, 150-run lead is sufficient to enforce the follow-on.The test match is scheduled to be played form 26th December – 29th December. Being a day-night test, pink ball will be used to play.

ICC has given the option to conduct 4-day test matches until 2019 during a bilateral test series. It is heard that the BCCI [Board of Control for Cricket in India] is against this new format. This means that the Indian cricket team will not be playing any 4-day test match in the near future.

Will Anirudh Put A Checkmate To DSP?

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]

Will Anirudh put a checkmate to DSP?.Over the last two decades, if we look into the Telugu cinema music, DSP aka Devi Sri Prasad has dominated the scene like anything.  He has delivered several blockbuster music beats to the industry. Having delivered not only musical blockbusters, he also introduced a different type of entertaining music to the Telugu Cinema. DSP has been experimenting without crossing the boundaries of commercial music and he is reinventing himself all the time.

Criticism is growing on Devi’s music recently that it is becoming routine and people are getting bored hearing to the same format.

His latest album ‘MCA’ has offered nothing new for the audience to hear. One will definitely say it has disappointed the audience and attracted a lot of criticism as well. In recent times, DSP did not face such a critical review. Then comes, the directors Anup Rubens and Anirudh Ravichander.

While Anup scored music for HELLO’ and receiving a superb response, Anirudh has given mind-blowing melodies with Agnathavasi and has come up with a superb output.  Two singles were out from Pawan film and both received tremendous response from the music lovers. Buzz is that the entire album is good and is going to create a sensation.

If quickly, DSP, does not come up with a wonderful music, he will have a tough time in future. Looks like Anup and Anirudh are definitely going to checkmate DSP.

But shockingly Vijay might have some alternative thoughts, he rejected the offer as he didn’t find the scripts appealing and ignored it.

Shooting almost completed under the direction of Parasuram and Taxiwala, his other movie is under the direction of Rahul sankrithyan.

Yes. These claims have not been made by some RSS party leader or some Hindu activist group or any other community. The Tech-Giant Google had made these remarks. In a recent release of data about keywords, Google had made some stark discoveries. Google said that top 5 keyword searches in Pakistani features 3 Bollywood movie names.

Surprisingly, the Amir Khan starrer, Dangal stood out as the third highest searched keyword in 2017 in Pakistan. The film did not have its release in Pakistan after Amir Khan refused to remove the Indian National Anthem and National flag on the directions of Pakistan Censor board.

The second film that came in the top 5 searched words in 2017 from Pakistan was, Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Raees’. The film stood in fourth place in the top 5 searched words. Raees was banned in Pakistan after the Censor board opinionated that the film showed Muslims in a bad light. One shouldn’t forget the fact that, even Shah Rukh Khan is a Muslim.

Finally, Rishi Kapoor took the fourth spot in terms of Google searches related to people in 2017 in Pakistan. This might be due to this recent comments about Pakistan and India taking their respective stance on Kashmir.

It is a well-known open secret that Pakistanis were always fascinated by the Indian movies and Indian film stars. It is once again proved.

Controversial director Ram Gopal Varma released the trailer for his upcoming web series ‘Kadapa’. One can call it a short film rather than a trailer. The length of the trailer is around 5 minutes. Within minutes of its release, the trailer became viral on social networking platforms given its content.

Few scenes in the trailer seemed as if they have been lifted straightaway from past faction-themed films. With no censor restrictions for videos posted on YouTube, RGV utilized it in all aspects. The trailer had profanity, bloodshed and extreme violence. The dialogues were so profane that it is difficult to even refer them.

If the trailer itself is featuring such vulgar and disturbing content, one can understand how the web series would be. RGV also stated that ‘I will show the truth in my web series. In the past, due to many reasons, I had to tone down the reality in my movies. This web series will depict the real facts and truths about factionism in Rayalaseema. I am not going to bow down to any kind of threats.’

Meanwhile, many people from the Reddy community raised objections over the depiction of Reddy’s in such a violent manner in the web series. Only time can tell how far will this go.

Sonia Gandhi to quit politics

After being the president of the Indian National Congress party for 19 years, Smt. Sonia Gandhi will soon resign from the post. Rahul Gandhi will take over as the next president of the Indian National Congress [INC].

Sonia Gandhi was subjected to severe criticism during her initial days as the party’s president. Many senior party leaders expressed their displeasure and stated that Sonia lacks leadership qualities like her mother-in-law Indira Gandhi. They also alleged that she is unfit to lead the party which has a 100-year-old history.

With time, Sonia grew in the eyes of every leader. She became so powerful to an extent that, even top leaders like former PM Narasimha Rao, former President Pranab Mukherjee and former Finance Minister Chidambaram never raised their voice against her.

It is under her leadership, Congress formed the government at the Centre after 2004 and 2009 General Assembly elections. She had a great influence on the national politics during the 2002 – 2014 period. Post the humiliating defeat in 2014 General Assembly elections, she was restricted to the position of ‘Leader of the Opposition party’.

It is heard that in recent times Sonia has kept herself away from Congress Core Committee meetings. Rahul took over Sonia Gandhi as the party’s president unofficially, a couple of years’ back itself. Even her health played a vital role in her decision to quit the politics. Sonia was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2011.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has set his focus on utilizing the water resources in the state, thanks to the success of Pattiseema project. With the neighboring states building dams over the Krishna river, it would be foolish for the state government to rely on Krishna waters in the near future. At the same time, most of the Godavari waters are being left out into the open sea.

Realizing these two aspects, and with the success of Pattiseema project, Chandrababu is coming up with a mega plan for the interlinking of rivers across the state at an affordable cost with the maximum outcome. In this context, the CM is carving out the project to diver the Godavari waters to Penna River in the near future.

Chandrababu has briefly gone through the studies about diverting the Godavari waters to Penna River. If this project come to light, Nellore district along with the four Rayalaseema districts would be benefited from the Penna waters.

If the Andhra Pradesh government can utilize 1/5th of the 1500 TMCs of Godavari waters [going to open sea] through this project, there would be no question of shortage of the water for agriculture and even industries in the distant future.

Roja became the butt of the jokes after she recently released a press note about YS Jagan. Her press not in short read, ‘YS Jagan is an honest, noble and great individual. All the cases against him nothing but political propaganda. YS Jagan has never committed any wrongdoing, and he can prove himself. All the corruption and money laundering cases are absolutely bogus.’

The press note became viral not because Roja released, but because she claimed that YS Jagan is honest, noble and great, and has never committed any wrongdoing. The actor-turned-politician went silent for a good long time after Prashanth Kishore gave her a strong warning.

Only from the past week or so, Roja is back to her routine. Everyone was pleased after she toned down a bit. Her true colours came out in a live show. She started attacking Bandla Ganesh using foul and uncivilized language during a heated discussion.

Further impressing her skills as the best political comedian, Roja in a recent press meet shocked every journalist sitting there. After a journalist asked her, If YSRCP wins the elections, will it encourage migration of leaders from TDP party? Roja went on to say, ‘there is no way we would encourage such kind of things.

A philosopher said ‘A true friend is someone who lets us know our faults,’ about a true friend. While another said,’ A dearest enemy is someone who doesn’t find any fault in any of our actions,’ about our dearest enemy. Emerging leaders often find themselves surrounded by their dearest enemies. Frankly, the greatest threat to any leader is from the ‘dearest enemies’ than the real enemy.

Even YS Jagan is facing the same situation. After Pawan Kalyan’s spoke against family politics, a person name Venkat Reddy from Guntur reacted strongly. In a video that became viral, Venkat Reddy said ‘this is my last warning to Pawan Kalyan. I don’t mind killing him if he utters a word against Pawan Kalyan’. Later Venkat Reddy was arrested.

Interestingly, there are two murder cases on the accused. After the video became viral, YSRCP jumped into the scene and gave a press release that ‘YSRCP party is nowhere related to Venkat Reddy and ridiculed the person’s comments too’.

This turned out to be a double blow for YSRCP. After it became public that Venkat Reddy has a criminal background, many people came to a conclusion that YSRCP supporters are usually from a criminal background, while others were shocked to see YSRCP completely distancing itself from someone who was ready to kill or die for the welfare of the party.

Pakistan authorities have seized seven boats and forty-three Indian Fishermen were arrested for apparently fishing illegally in the country’s territorial waters in the Arabian Sea, told the officials. The fishermen were arrested and handed over to the Docks police, a spokesman for Pakistan’s Maritime Security Force (PMSF) said.

While the Docks police are going to present them before the judicial magistrate who will be most likely send them on judicial remand to jail, told Commander Wajid Nawaz Chaudhary. Over the last one month, as many as 144 Indian fishermen were arrested for allegedly fishing illegally in Pakistani waters. Overall, the total arrests of Indian fisher had shot up to 400 in this year itself.43 Indian Fishermen arrested by Pakistan

Chaudhary said speedboats and helicopters were used in the exercise when the Indian fishermen were spotted in our waters. Sadly, these fishermen from both the countries frequently get detained for illegal fishing in each other territorial waters since the Arabian Sea does not have a clearly defined marine border and the wooden boats lack the technology to avoid drifting away.

In the month of October, PMSA had arrested two batches of around 50 fishermen and again on October 29, had released 68 Indian fishermen from Malir jail as a goodwill gesture. As on date, a total of 438 fishermen were released in 12 days’ time in December 2016- January 2017 by authorities of Pakistan from Landhi and Mahir jails in Karachi.
