Cricket World Cup Lost due to Stubble !

The women’s cricket world cup was going on. It was the final match being played between India and Australia’s women teams. India was in a critical position with only 1 wicket left in hand and 2 runs to win with just 1 ball remaining for inning’s end. Naina and Reema were on the pitch. Naina and Reema both were tail-enders as one of the best batswoman, Neha just got run-out. After Neha got out, Reema came for batting.  People from whole India were sitting in front of their TVs. Audience in the stadium were even more excited with their hearts beating excessively.

                    Now Reema was on the striker’s end and she was very nervous as the whole team and country had expectations from her. As the Australian bowler bowled, Reema just took a sweep shot and ran for completing 1 run. As soon as Reema reached half pitch, she saw stubble of Umpire and she bowed down her eyes. But this resulted in her collision with the Australian bowler who was waiting for the bowl to come and run out the Reema. The fielder threw a direct hit and the umpire took no time in giving her run-out.
                              This was the end of the match and the expectations of whole country too. When Reema reached pavilion, she was asked that why did she not complete the run looking in front instead of down. She said,”The umpire had a stubble. I hate that unclean stubble. That’s why I looked down.”Unfortunately that proved to be the last match of the Reema's career.

10 Best In-Ear Headphones Under Rs.1000 in India 2017

Image
My SoundMagic ES18 Black Earphones Recently I bought Moto G for my daily use. One of the daily use for which I bought it was listening music. Don't think I am an audiophile or something like that. I needed to listen music only during commuting to college. But I was dissatisfied with the quality of bundled headphones with Moto G in the box. It was not any more better than this earphone  although it is good as a budget earbud; the only difference was colour as mine were white in colour. The problem with these cheap earbuds(not to be confused with 'in-ear monitors' [IEMs]) is that they cause pain in ear, sound poorly detailed and, because of their small size and lack of seal within the ear canal, they are also often woefully lacking in bass response. Just Like Bundled Earbuds with Moto G So that started the search for in-ear-headphones (also called in-ear monitors, IEMs, earphones, ear canal headphones) for me. IEMs are miniaturized headphones that fit into and ...
