RINKU SINGH The Five Ball Hero

The first-ever time that I learnt about someone hitting a six in the last delivery of any match to win the match was incidentally through the pages of The Teenager sometime in the 1960s. The Indian School Boys’ team was on a tour of Australia and 11 runs were required in the last two deliveries of the match for the Indian boys to win against the Australian School Boys. The Indian batter at the crease was Surinder Amarnath, the eldest son of the legendry Lala Amarnath. Surinder achieved what seemed almost impossible; hitting two sixes of the last two deliveries of the match to make it an Indian victory.

Why Do You Feel So Sad?

Do you find that question odd? Because it sounds like a strong assumption on my part that you do feel sad and I’m already asking you if you know why. I have known and heard from thousands of people (especially teenagers too) about their little and big fallouts in life that troubled them and made them feel low.

Be an Asset!
The Teenager Today

Be an Asset!

'Be an asset, NOT a liability! Your endeavour in life should be to become an asset to your parents, society and the nation'. This was one of the many advices my high school English teacher gave us. Though I didn't understand much of it then, having lived more than half a century, I understand how important that advice was. He used to say that when you grow up, you should be self-reliant and financially independent as early as possible.

Unite and Conquer PLASTIC POLLUTION

The 50th World Environment Day is around the corner, and it’s time to take a closer look at a critical issue that affects all of us: plastic pollution. It’s hard to fathom, but humanity produces a jaw-dropping 430 million tonnes of plastic each year. Even more concerning is that two-thirds of this plastic is made up of short-lived products that quickly become waste, contaminating our land and oceans and eventually entering our food chain. It’s crucial to join forces and address this crisis to protect the planet for future generations.
