This took time. More than six years. And, yet, days after the launch in a packed, book loving audience or the ones interested in a 41-year-old murder story at The Taj in Chandigarh, I am still picking up the pieces, of what is left of me after writing a book on a three-time

Kabaddi is a soft target for organised crime. Sobering reality for a sport that was or is the heartbeat of rural Punjab. Heavy price to pay for the shift from community sport to commercialized league.

Today, my heart is heavy. I lost my first coach, my guide, and someone who believed in me long before the world knew my name. Col. J. S. Dhillon was the person who gave me my earliest lessons, not just in shooting, but in life. He taught me perseverance when things felt

A different era. Different requirement. On a different note, hunt for a good central midfielder goes on. Need control when the game drifts.
Till Q3, there was minimal pressure on the ball carrier, & wide channels were badly exposed. In a pre-rolling substitution model, a player like Anmol Ekka might have been subbed off before halftime. But, the overarching narrative ended positive. @MisraSundeep @IndiaToday

The definition of risk in a game varies. In a 4th quarter, two goals down, a medal on the line, a generation of players, fifteen minutes away from ending up fourth, a team can kick-start subtle changes that not only change the course of a game but history, legacy itself. For the

Germany win 2025 Jr World Cup beating Spain in the shootout 3-2. Regulation time score was 1-1. This is Germany's 8th World Cup win. Spain looked the better team in the 3rd and 4th Q. Germany in the last seconds of the 4th Q failed to latch onto a cross. #hockeytwt #HockeyIndia

Anmol Ekka is the Player of the Match. Anmol Ekka, coming from India’s hockey heartland in Sundargarh, is a rising talent to keep an eye on. He scored the fourth goal, set up the second, and is now a Junior World Cup bronze medallist. #hockeytwt #HockeyX #hockey #RisingStars

True. They came alive. Created those doubts in Argentina. And then the subtle but courageous decision of going for indirect paid off. Medal was important. Progress is key.
@MisraSundeep Jo jeeta wahi sikandar wali baat hai sir, sports ho ya life , keep winning or losing but keep progressing upwards. Against ger we didn't press this high, thought that they were thinking what if we concede more , had we played full press we would have scored more for sure.

Anmol Ekka credits Sreejesh for the turnaround. "He understood the needs at the end of Q2. We made adjustments and it paid off in the PC." #bronze #RisingStars #hockeyindia

Duality and intertwined nature of winning and losing: India celebrates in the background; Arg in a huddle, understanding the nature of losing a game from 2-0 up. #hockeytwt #hockeyindia
