Rise and Fall!

The kid hit Qad(ir) for a huge six
And Azhar thought it was best to fix

Kapil and his men planted on World-cup a big kiss
Ganguly, as usual, managed to give it a miss

Sachin provided much needed pain to Shane
As McGrath walked in proudly in the Hall-of-fame!

Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 brought a sweeping ban on all real-money online games in India, including poker and rummy. By treating every money-based game as “gambling,” the law erased a long-standing distinction recognized by Indian courts between games of skill and games of chance . What makes the law even more controversial is how it was passed : The draft Bill was published only a day before its introduction in Parliament, leaving no meaningful opportunity for public debate or objections. The Bill was then introduced in the Lok Sabha and passed within seven minutes , and cleared by the Rajya Sabha the very next day. This rushed process undermined transparency and denied stakeholders — including citizens, gamers, and industry representatives — their rightful chance to be heard. This hasty passage raises serious questions about democratic lawmaking, especially when it impacts a $23 billion industry an...

Muharram and the Battle of Karbala

-
Muharram is the first month of Islamic Hijri Calendar. Today is 2nd of Muharram of Hijri year 1433. Muharram is one of the most significant month for Shia Muslims because it marks the martyrdom of Husain Ibn Ali (A.S), grandson of Prophet Mohammed (SAW). During this month there are special congregations for the first 10 days where the life and time of Husain Ibn Ali (A.S.) and his family is narrated. Let me limit this note to Muharram for Dawoodi Bohra community of which I am a member. For Dawoodi Bohra community, who are followers of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS), month of Muharram is very significant. People of the community would travel long distances to listen to the sermons by Syedna (TUS). This year, Syedna(TUS) is presiding the congregation in the city of Mumbai (India) and people from all over the world are pouring in there. Resident Bohras of Mumbai would make comfortable arrangements for stay and food for people coming from outside of Mumbai. Apart from...

Ekspressions of a bird...

Birds! We are so fortunate to be birds! We can fly as high as we desire, as far as we want! Quench our thirst, at any pond, river, stream of our choice, at our time! Sit on any branch, of any tree, of our choice, and eat its fruits to our heart's content! Birds! I am so fortunate to be a bird! SO WHAT, if I am caged? This cage is so meticulously crafted, and so lovingly painted with different hues of my Master's choice, especially for me! My Master! Sure is very loving, very caring! He carefully plucks his choice of fruits and feeds them to me! To quench my thirst, he places clean water in a silver bowl, lest I catch that dreaded Bird Flu! My Master! Sure is very loving, very caring! Only one wish though, Oh My Master! To have a little bigger cage, to stretch my wings and fly a little, play a little, have a little bit taste of those free birds' life! - Musten Jiruwala As felt by the bird in me (unrevised)
