Thoughts on today's India vs Australia cricket match

In today cricket match between Australia and India, I have different thoughts until the end of the match. The thoughts just popped up in my mind as each ball was being bowled.

What is the necessity to be calm in tense situations?
Stonis thinks he can defend Boomrah over and score in other's overs. Stonis wants to keep the game to the last over. But on the other hand, Kohli wanted to end the game before going to last over, as there was no effective/experienced death over bowler left out of their quota of 10 overs. The balance of tension is maintained by the players. Both showed the calmness on the field. But after Stonis, there is no one left to show it.



No need for overconfidence.
If we are overconfident, we are prone to make mistakes often. Stonis thought of hitting Shankar/ Jadhav easily. And he ended up being plumbed in front of the stumps. 

Don't think there is only one problem left to solve in your life.
Stonis thinks only Bumrah can be the problem to their victory. But Shami and Shankar showed their skill to their potential. Similarly, there is not only one problem that can settle our lives to peace, but there will be a number of such things will come and we need to face it.

Don't underestimate the capability of others.
Stonis, the Aussie all-rounder faced Bumrah defensively in last over of his spell(48th over). He might be having the thought of attacking other bowlers. But see my brother, they are also much better death over bowlers. Hence, we should not be having the idea of others can be easily targettable.

There is always a second chance.
Vijay Shankar gave 13 runs in his first over. Kohli forgets him and rotates the ball among all other bowlers. But finally, Vijay had the ball in the last over. And he just gave the best. Similarly, even if we lose everything in the first go, there is always a second chance to make things right or to make things better.

PS: these are personal opinions of the author and there is no need to be coherent with the player views. comment below on what you are thinking about the match today.

Lithium Ion Polymer battery

There was an interesting advertisement from LAVA mobiles showing battery drain problem will be in history soon. The basic guess would be the mobile will be shipped with higher man battery or there is change in battery technology. So I went on to see the specs of Lava Iris Fuel here and found a new term in the battery part. It was Li Pol battery of 3000mAh. So what is Li-Pol? It is well known fact to every smart user that the growth in battery technology is almost negligible compared to the other departments like display, processor speed, memory, camera etc. The three key terms in battery are electrodes, electrolyte and electrolysis. The charge is accumulated at the electrodes from electrolyte during the electrolysis process. This is called charging and the accumulated charge will be discharged in discharging process. Li-ion (Lithium-Ion) batteries are the most popular and widely used types. In this type of battery, the electrolyte is in liquid form used as conducting medi...

Everyone get their slice - the story of politicians

The politicians visits all the middle class people's houses for votes. The same middle class people will wander around the MLA/MP's house to have justice. Wait, do people go only/mainly for justice? I don't think so, or anyone do think so. most of the meetings' agenda will be settlements, recommendations, illegal land acquisition, drink and drive cases etc. We very much know how the system works. Some X will give huge fund as party fund for some A party. The A party will accept it, why not? It's all about money bro. Party need money to maintain people. So they invite X. What next? X starts election canvassing by bearing the expenditure of boys (beers/biryanis), giving money for voters usually on per vote basis. Many voters will show the honesty here, we took money so we vote for X. And eventually X wins elections. Politicians are also humans, they expect to earn profits when they invest something. So they ask the government to start the everlasting projects ...
