Votes sent. Top 2 songs really grew on me and were very difficult to rank. Next 9 songs are decent and I can listen to them from time to time. The last song to get points from me is the most interesting song in the sense that in some hearings I want to give high points to the song while other times I don't want to give any points to it. Apart from the 3 reserves that I have sent there are only a couple of more songs that I could complete without effort.

I am in the final stages of deciding my vote. Will send it by tomorrow.

And Srikanth reaches his 5th SS final of the year. After back to back wins in Indonesia and Australia in June, now Srikanth will be hoping to have back to back wins in Denmark and France in October.

Yet another Superseries final for India in MS

Same situation here. First time, no song from the contest would be going in my playlist this time.

Wang Shixian retired after missing out on Rio Olympics. Sadly Totallympics never had a good amount of Badminton fans who discuss things. I am really happy with the way Srikanth is playing this year. 3 Superseries Titles in a year Also, this is his 5th career SS title putting him on joint 4th behind legends LCW (45), Lin Dan (21) and Chen Long (17)

You can say this song has been an inspiration to me to continue taking part in these contests despite time constraints, low points in previous contests and being the only Indian participant.

India Ladies and gentlemen, this time around the Indian jury has the honour of presenting a modern rendition of one of the all time classics of Indian music. "Ekla Chalo Re" was penned by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore in 1905. Since its inception this song has inspired millions to continue his or her journey, despite lack of support from others. This song played a large role in Indian independence movement as well. There are numerous melodious renditions of this beautiful song. The rendition I have chosen is from 2012 and is sung by legendary actor Amitabh Bachhan. Apart from the modern touch in music provided by composers Vishal-Shekhar, the song is unique in the way it transitions seamlessly between Bangla (language in which original song was conceived), Hindi and English. Ekla Chalo Re (Walk Alone)

I do want to take part and have a favourite for Indian entry but am not sure if I would have enough time to listen to all entries and vote. Will take the final decision once full schedule is released.

Just saw his profile. He is ranked 102 in the world and has lost to Indians in his last 3 tournaments.

Yes. French Leverdez has defeated the legend Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia in the second round of World Championships.

Finally an upset

Even Indian women team had this advantage in selection but alas we squandered the chance and withdrew from the league.
