India's Representation in Paris Key Facts You Should Know

By Swej Priya

Readers, hello! Are you looking forward to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris? In any case, I'm quite thrilled about the Olympics and I strongly believe that this will be the Indian contingent's best season.  With competitions spanning from July 26 to August 11 , the Paris Olympics of 2024 will include 117 Indian athletes  competing for medals in the international multi-sport competition. In the Paris, more over half of the Indian competitors will be competing in their first Olympics. Many of them competed in the summer Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 and in prior years. Take an early look at the information on the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris: 1). 2020 saw the greatest contingent at the Tokyo Olympics, with 121 athletes competing. This year, India has the second-largest contingent at the Olympics, with 117 athletes competing. Notably, the Indian women's hockey team was unable to secure a spot in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. 2). Up to 72 competitors, or we can say that 6...

By Swej Priya

                            Domestic  Cricket Tournament  1. RANJI TROPHY India's premier domestic cricket competition, the Ranji Trophy, was established in 1934 .The idea came from A.S.

Just Three of Them (And That’s More Than Enough)

By Swej Priya
Image
 🌸Just Three of Them (And That’s More Than Enough)🌸 I have got just three friends.....yes, only these three, No squads, no gangs, just this wild trinity. Samiksha, Ananya, and Smriti --- the core of my plot, I don’t have photos with them, but memories? A LOT. With them, I talk for hours, even though I hate calls, Yet their names light up my screen and my walls. I’m the extrovert they unlocked, while the world sees a ghost, They know the real me, the chaos, the roast. In 20 years of my life, through college, through space, Three years apart or more, still nothing can replace. We’ve lived in cities far apart, but the bond never shakes, And we’ll be best friends till our children cut wedding cakes. They don’t judge my rants, my silence, my tone, With them, I’m never truly alone. They're miles away in the southern breeze, While I freeze in the north, missing them with ease. But here's a dream I won’t ever skip  A messy, laughter-packed four-person trip. And if they think they’re...

Myself?? (Poetry)

By Swej Priya
Image
                                  MYSELF?  The Empty Page :) She decided to write a piece for herself, but she couldn't. She thinks for a while and ask herself WHY? Maybe because she has different stories to loan but doesn't have one of her own. Maybe because she wants to escape from the reality where everyone lives in duality. Maybe because she was a child of moon and wandered aimlessly in the room. Or maybe because she was busy gazing at the moon and that in the afternoon of the June. Maybe because she was bringing light into other's people live and forgetting that she is alive. Maybe because she was captured nearby and found herself lost in the sky. Or maybe because she is still thinking about herself while her page is still empty and she is almost Twenty.  THANKS FOR READING :)

What will your verse be?

By Swej Priya
Image
      What will your verse be?   What will your verse be? A question asked in a whisper, echoed in classrooms and hearts a question I now answer, with laughter, love, and the life I dream to craft. My verse will begin with joy, with humor like sunshine through tired skies, roasting with love, joking with soul, bringing smiles to the faces that life forgot to cheer for a while. I will walk strong and tall not just in height, but in spirit unbent by harsh words. No voice will shrink me, no cruelty will cage me, for I will love myself in ways I once waited for others to. My verse will be hands that help. One day, when I can, I will lift those who sleep on cold pavements with empty hands and endless hope. I will give....quietly, fiercely, until dignity returns to every eye I meet. It will be a life lived on my terms, written in chapters of choice and courage. Independent not in solitude, but in soul writing my own path, even if the world draws maps I don’t wish to f...

                                                                                   REVERANCE OF KING KOHLI You are neither my favorite nor my idol type.  But I never hate you and your fans that make your hype. I appreciate your dedication. From leading to glory in U-19 to being simply best, whether it's T-20 or Test From being the angry young man who was noticed for all his wrong doings to being the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Decade and all those records that you broke and made I appreciate your passion.  When the pressure is highest  I see,You are the brightest.  When you are on the crease  We take a breath.  Our chase master will do it again; it's our belief.  I appreciate your integrity.  People are there for idolizing you or trolling you...

KL RAHUL – A Story in Rhyme

By Swej Priya
Image
                      KL Rahul – A Story in Rhyme 🏏 A boy with dreams, a bat in hand, From Mangalore’s warm, dusty land. He trained each day, he worked so hard, With silent hope and full regard. He got his chance, his debut day, But nerves and pressure came his way. The runs were few, the critics loud, Yet Rahul stood, both strong and proud. Next match he played, he made a ton, A hundred scored beneath the sun. He showed the world what he could do, With strokes so sweet and heart so true. But life in cricket isn’t straight, There’s ups and downs, there’s twist of fate. Injuries came, the form went low, At times it felt so tough to go. They dropped him once, then brought him back, He changed his game, got back on track. He kept the gloves, he changed his spot, He gave his best, he gave a lot. In Tests, in T20s, ODIs too, He played each role, he saw it through. With calm and class, with style and grace, ...

"The Art of the Seam" ft. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

By Swej Priya
Image
               "The Art of the Seam" He walks in quiet, calm and light,   No drama, no fire, just pure delight.   With ball in hand, he starts his run,   And that’s when magic has begun. From dusty nets in Meerut town,   To cricket’s grandest, golden crown,   He carved a path both still and steep,   Where swing can wake a game from sleep. His action smooth, like flowing stream,   A bowler's grace, a dreamer’s dream.   No wasted move, no sudden fight Just rhythm, timing, pure and right. They call him poetry in motion,   A swing king with silent devotion.   The seam obeys, the air it bends,   And batsmen hope, but rarely fend. He doesn't shout, he doesn't glare,   He just lets the ball dance in the air.   An outswing tease, an inswing kiss Each delivery, a quiet bliss. From small-town roots to world stage fire, ...

Just One More Glimpse

What If This is the Last Time? (A Fan's Ode to MS Dhoni) Jee bhar ke dekh lijiye humko kareeb se....F ir aapke naseeb mein ye mulaqat ho naah ho. What if this is the last time he walks out to bat, In yellow pride, beneath that iconic cap. The roar of the crowd, the calm in his eyes, The man who never flinched, never fed us lies. What if this is the last time we cheer, For the man who made pressure disappear? Not just a player, but a quiet storm, Who kept us safe, who set the norm. What if this is Dhoni’s final run, Under Chennai’s golden sun? A silence hits, a fan’s deep fear, That we may not see him next year. We fear it, we feel it, this might be the end, Of watching our captain, our mentor, our friend. Not just a player, he's a reason we cheer, For us, every glimpse of Mahi brings tears. We watch the match for Mahi’s face, His presence is our comfort, our sacred space. For us, a glimpse is enough to heal Mahi’s presence is something we feel. He fixed our hearts, never asked ...
