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.

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.

He used to say that when you grow up, you should be self-reliant and financially independent as early as possible.

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 crucial to join forces and address this crisis to protect the planet for future generations.
