what about the flags?

Sorry for the delay, just logged in. Will post results now.

It is not a question of who is a better president. I am just pointing out the flaw in Hillary's campaign. She (and media) alienated a lot of neutrals/democrats by calling them bigots/racist/misogynists and idiots.

Only couple of tournaments. Nothing regular. Now, they plan to play regularly on the tour. Also, I have high hopes that Satwiksairaj Rankireddy will be a top player in 4-5 years time.

Why did Americans not elect a leader who called anyone who disagreed with her "bunch of deplorables"?

Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponappa have decided to stop playing together. Gutta has decided that from now on she will concentrate on XD more and would partner Manu Attri while Ponappa will partner Sikki Reddy in WD. Best of luck to the new pairs. Sikki is very good Doubles player and alongside the experienced Ashwini, she can improve a lot. Also, nice to see that our Doubles players are once again focusing on XD. Pranaav Jerry Chopra and Sikki Reddy are already doing well on tour this season and now Attri/Gutta should join them.

Our women's team has improved a lot in the last 2 years. Going into 2014 Asian Games, we were 4th best team in Asia and now we have won the Asian Champions Trophy. Hopefully, we will be able to build on this spectacular performance and continue to rise.

I think a large portion of voters this time around would be voting against a candidate and not for. Also, I won't be surprised if in near future, we see a large number of independent or 3rd party candidates winning governorships and Senate/House seats. Both parties are in serious trouble.

Happy Diwali. May Goddess Lakshmi bestow happiness and prosperity on all of you and your families.

What a Diwali for Hockey fans. Winning the Asian Champions Trophy (Men) defeating Pakistan in final. Boy's team also winning 4 nation tournament and Women's team defeating Korea.

I have sent my votes

BWF has been conducting trials about a possible switch to 11x5 from the present 21x3 format for quite some time. I remember there were a number of events in the past two years also which were played using 11x5 format. But, as of today, 21x3 is the main format which will be used in all the major tournaments.

On popular demand, India will take part in the contest. (Taking out time to listen and rate all the entries will still be difficult, hopefully, I would be able to find the required time). Since, I haven't had any chance to think about the entry, I am simply selecting one of my all time favourites, a song which moves me to tears everytime I listen to it. Song : Luka ChuppiMusic : A.R. RehmanLyrics : Prasoon JoshiSingers : Lata Mangeshkar, A.R. Rehman This is the version which was used in the movie, you can listen to the full version with one of the best 'jugalbandis' here Lyrics: Luka Chuppi Bahut Huyi Saamne Aa Ja Na Kahan Kahan Dhundha Tujhe Thak Gayi Hai Ab Teri Maa (It's enough of hide and seek, come in front of me Your mom is tired looking for you up and down) Aaja Saanjh Hui Mujhe Teri Fikar Dhundhla Gayi Dekh Meri Nazar Aa Ja Na Aaja Saanjh Hui Mujhe Teri Fikar Dhundhla Gayi Dekh Meri Nazar Aa Ja Na (It's been evening and I am worried about you Come dear, my eyes became blurred)x2 Kya Batau Maa Kaha Hu Mai Yahan Udne Ko Mere Khula Aasmaan Hai Tere Kisso Jaisa Bhola Salona Jahan Hai Yahan Sapno Vala Meri Patang Ho Befikar Udd Rahi Hai Maa Dor Koi Lute Nahi Beech Se Kaate Na (Mom, what I can tell about where I am Here I got open sky to fly Innocent, like your stories, here the world is beautiful Mom, here my kite of dreams is soaring high without any worries The string is not stolen, not cut in middle) Aaja Saanjh Hui Mujhe Teri Fikar Dhundhla Gayi Dekh Meri Nazar Aa Ja Na (It's been evening and I am worried about you Come dear, my eyes became blurred) Teri Raah Takey Aankhiya Jaane Kaisa Kaisa Hoye Jiya Teri Raah Takey Aankhiya Jaane Kaisa Kaisa Hoye Jiya (My eyes are watching the way expecting you Don't know what my heart feels now)x2 Dhire Dhire Aangan Utre Andhera, Mere Deep Kaha Dhalke Suraj Karey Ishara Chanda Tu Hai Kahan Mere Chanda Tu Hai Kahan (Slowly darkness is growing into my courtyard, where is my lamp ( kid ) The setting sun gives sign to me, where are you my moon My dear son where are you..) Luka Chuppi Bahut Huyi Saamne Aa Ja Na Kahan Kahan Dhundha Tujhe Thak Gayi Hai Ab Teri Maa (It's enough of hide and seek, come in front of me Your mom is tired looking for you up and down) Aaja Saanjh Hui Mujhe Teri Fikar Dhundhla Gayi Dekh Meri Nazar Aa Ja Na Aaja Saanjh Hui Mujhe Teri Fikar Dhundhla Gayi Dekh Meri Nazar Aa Ja Na (It's been evening and I am worried about you Come dear, my eyes became blurred)x2 Kaise Tujhko Dikhau Yaha Hai Kya Maine Jharne Se Pani Maa Tod Ke Piya Hai Guchcha Guchcha Kai Khwaabon Ka Uchal Ke Chua Hai Chaya Liya Bhali Dhoop Yahan Hai Naya Naya Sa Hai Roop Yahan Yahan Sab Kuch Hai Maa Phir Bhi Lage Bin Tere Mujhko Akela (How can I show you what is here I have drunk water from the waterfall I jumped and touched many bundles of my dreams Here, there is sun and shade This place is very new and fresh Mom, here I got everything, still, without you I feel all alone... ) Re ga re ga sa sa sa re Re ga re ga sa sa sa pa ma pa ga ma ga re Re ga re ga sa sa sa sa re sa pa ma ga ma ga re Sa sa sa sa ni re sa ni dha ni dha pa ma pa ga ma pa Dha ni sa ni sa ni dha ni dha pa ma ga ma ga re Re ga re ga sa sa sa sa ni sa pa ma ga ma ga re Rega rega rega rega rega Sa re ne sa re re re ga re ga re ga ma pa ga ma ga re Ma ma pa dha ma ma pa Ma ma pa dha ma ma pa Pa ma pa ne sa re ga Re ma ga ga re ga re re re sa ga re ga sa sa sa Ne re sa ne sa pa dha pa ma ma ma pa dha ne sa ne sa Ga ne dha ne dha pa pa ma ga|ga ma pa dha ne sa ne sa …..

Majority of these are injury related exceptions. Nothing scandalous as far as I can see.

I really feel sorry for Wang Shixian. Missing out on second Olympics in a row despite being in top 10 in World must be heart breaking. Apart from He Bingjiao, Sun Yu is also very good and still young.

No, he won Silver. Russian won Gold

qualify for the next round.

Wang Yihan, one of the best players of recent times has retired at the age of 28. She won Silver in London Olympics, 1 Gold in World Championships, 20 Superseries titles, 3 Uber Cup titles, 3 Sudirman Cup titles.

Expecting fireworks: Yes Expecting medals: No

No, Simone Biles and Venus Williams are not going to be stripped of their medals. As Simone said, she had prior permission from WADA to take her medication (containing banned substance) due to her condition (ADHD). In theory at least, these exemptions are available to any athlete who can prove that s/he has an underlying condition and needs medication for that. Also, I hope, they need to show that other medications (without the banned substance) can't work. This exemption could be time bound (when an athlete is recovering from surgery/injury) or long term (I am assuming that Biles has a long term exemption). Legally speaking, I think, they have broken no law and hence, there is no chance of ban or stripping of medals.

Deepa Malik becomes first Indian women to win a Paralympic medal. She wins silver in F53 Shot Put

Qualifiers for Round 2: Glasgow: Surprisingly won the tournament. won the other quota. Accra: won quotas in both the men and women tournaments. Antalya: won the tournament. came second. At present Wiki is showing the tournament as having only one Round 2 quota but I think it is a mistake and there should be 2 quotas for this tournament.
