MS Dhoni-The Legend Grows Anurag Jacob   28 Apr 2018, 10:36 AM ​ ​ On the 25th of April, 2018 the Chennai Super Kings beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 5 wickets in a high scoring affair. While Ambati Rayudu blasted 82 after scoring 79 in the match before, MS Dhoni scored 70 off 34, hitting the winning six as Virat Kohli’s strange decision of giving Corey Anderson the last over failed miserably. In the long list of achievements Dhoni boasts of in his cricketing career, and there are many, one that he has come to claim has been that of a finisher. He has done it so many times for India. But in almost all those memorable Indian victories, you cannot help but notice that there is an element of destiny there, almost like Dhoni himself wrote those scripts.

Everybody knows the decisions he made in the two World Cup final...

What is the difference between Hardwood and Softwood? Hardwood is not necessarily a harder material (more dense) and a softwood is not necessarily a softer material (less dense). Different types of construction projects call for different kinds of timber, both hardwood and softwood are used for everything from structural to decorative. Softwood and hardwood are distinguished botanically in terms of their reproduction, not by their end use or appearance. All trees reproduce by producing seeds, but the seed structure varies. In general, hardwood comes from a deciduous tree which loses its leaves annually and softwood comes from a conifer, which usually remains evergreen. Hardwoods tend to be slower growing, and are therefore usually more dense. Softwood trees are known as a Gymnosperm.  A Hardwood is an Angiosperm.

King Megharath One day, during an assembly of demigods, Indra, the King of heavenly gods, praised the bravery and mercifulness of King Megharath on Earth. He mentioned that King Megharath would not hesitate to give up his own life to protect those who came to him for shelter. Two demigods doubted Indra’s statement, so Indra asked them to go to Earth and see for themselves. Since they could not appear on Earth in their heavenly forms, one of them decided to take the form of a pigeon, and the other took the form of a hawk. The demigods, due to their miraculous power, can assume any form they desire and can reach anywhere in a split second. Down on Earth, King Megharath was sitting in his court surrounded by his courtiers. Suddenly, a pigeon flew in through an open window and started circling the hall. To the King’s surprise, it landed on his lap. It was shaking uncontrollably. The King realized that the pigeon was s...
