India the Champions of Le Grand Quiz Tournoi 2022

With memories of last time being knocked out closest to hopes in 2004, this time India was much different in approach and  planning to work things out in leadership of Mr. Pant with other highly classified team members. 


Due to pandemic of 2020, the tournament had to be shifted in 2022 and the chance always seems to be waiting for something new. 


We did have a bumpy start, in 1st stage where the knock out match against Tuvalu was a concern but it went well and we took one step ahead. 


In 2nd stage there were more for showdown, including contest of typing  round and knock out. 

We did well against chile in round of 64 and against Denmark in  round of 32  to cross through to final stage for 1st time in history of Indian  blind quizzing and hope started to rise  up. 


The 3rd stage didn’t look easy, in pre quarters China proved a tough component but were defeated and in quarters we had to face Australia who knocked us last time and we bashed them on this ocasion making it  square. 


In semifinals, we competed against Asian arch rivals Japan but their drop down in speed gave us momentum and it was 1st time we were  into finals of Le Grand quiz tournoi,  only one step away from trophy to make it grand now. 


The finals was not going to be easy, Swiss has learnt from past mistakes but it was big player time and both captains lashed head to  head for it. 

But our skip made it counted taking the final rush of speed and India for the 1st time became champions of such grand tournament with contributions all around by  team players defeating swiss 4-1 with 3 rounds tied in final. 


The tournament finally concluded at presentation ceremony where our  captain was declared player of finals and Indian vice captain was announced lady of the tournament. 

With pride of natonal anthem played and award prize money handed over both to runenrs up and winners, it was all over from Mellbourne.  

A huge word of gratitude to  all those who blessed us to lead victory, for now its cheers from charlie…

6 years to Burning Asia

This book is a vivid piece of work by Indian author Saurabh Pant that was published on  1st of NOvember 2016 by lulu PUblisher Inc from the United States in the form of an ebook. 

Being his 1st international self project, the work is quite close to the author and the way it was responded round the globe is also pleasing in its actual terms to the whole team. 

The work generally focuses on the political conditions of  Asia in the 21st century or  leading up to it, has longer lines of poems in it, and has been recognised both by Helsinki peace memorial  and Yales university for its standard. 

The work is also appreciated in India by few reviewers, the influence of its author went on to create even its paperback later so it speaks the volume of closeness  with him. 

On this day when the work has completed 6 years in  running, the author would like to express gratitude to parents and family, author team all around, Nick sir and Priya ma’m for creative support to start his global journey and it is a special moment indeed.

The author hoped  that more love would pour upon this political poetry as the time goes on, for now its cheers from charlie…
