  • Tapan Acharya: The Diamond In The Crown Of Indian Roll Ball

    Tapan Acharya: The Diamond In The Crown Of Indian Roll Ball

    New Delhi [India], December 19: In the world of sports, stories of passion and dedication often emerge that inspire generations to come. Such is the story of Mr. Tapan Acharya, the recently re-elected President of the Roll Ball Federation of India, whose extraordinary commitment and vision have brought a fresh sparkle to the world of Roll Ball.

    Milind Kshirsagar’s heartfelt Facebook post aptly sums up the remarkable journey of this dynamic leader, who was first captured on camera during the National Games in Goa in October-November last year. “His way of working and his visionary approach were unlike anything I had seen before,” wrote Kshirsagar, recounting how Tapan’s meticulous planning and execution during the event revealed his potential to lead a new generation towards bigger dreams.

    The Struggles of a Legacy

    Roll Ball, a sport born out of the determination of its founder, Mr. Raju Dabhade, has faced its fair share of struggles. Over 25 years, Dabhade’s relentless efforts ensured the game’s survival and growth, culminating in six World Cups and its adoption in 61 countries. The torch of this legacy now passes to Tapan Acharya, a leader with a diamond-like clarity of vision and the ability to act decisively under pressure.

    A Visionary at Work

    Kshirsagar vividly recalls witnessing Tapan’s leadership during the National Championships in Pune. “Destiny brought us together on stage, and I got a closer look at his leadership qualities. Though initially appointed as an Interim President for a year, his exceptional work earned him unanimous re-election for a full four-year term in October 2024,” he noted.

    Tapan Acharya, a prominent businessman,  filmmaker  and influential figure in Goa’s political circles, combines his professional acumen with a passion for sports development. His proactive engagement in initiatives like the Roll Ball League in Mumbai has left a lasting impression on his peers.

    A President Like No Other 

    The narrative reaches its peak with an incident during preparations for the fourth Asia Cup in Goa, set to take place from December 16 to 19. Teams from across the globe began arriving, and Tapan personally ensured every detail of their arrival was handled flawlessly.

    Recounting the events, Kshirsagar shares, “When the Philippine team arrived in batches late at night, there was chaos. One player landed hours earlier, others arrived around midnight, and confusion reigned. Despite delegating the task to me and providing his own car for the job, Tapan personally intervened when things got complicated.”

    In an extraordinary act of leadership, Tapan drove across Goa in the dead of night, ensuring each player was located and safely transported to their hotel. “By the time the players settled into their rooms at Ocean View Hotel, it was past 4 AM, but Tapan was still in touch, coordinating every step,” Kshirsagar marveled.

    Beyond Expectations

    “Will the president of a sports organization behave like this?” Kshirsagar asks rhetorically, marveling at Tapan’s hands-on approach. His actions reflect not only a deep sense of responsibility but also an unmatched dedication to the sport and its players.

    A New Era for Roll Ball

    Under Tapan Acharya’s presidency, Roll Ball is poised for a renaissance. His leadership signifies the dawn of a new era, where the sport not only thrives but also inspires countless young athletes to dream big. As Milind Kshirsagar aptly puts it, “Raju’s legacy has truly found a diamond to carry it forward.”

    From sleepless nights ensuring logistical perfection to long-term plans for the game’s growth, Tapan Acharya exemplifies what it means to lead by example. With such passionate stewardship, the future of Roll Ball shines brighter than ever.

This year, CCHHL will host “Asia’s Biggest New Year Bash 2025” across all its clubs and resorts in India, with the flagship event, “War of the DJs,” taking place at the Country Club Undri, Pune, featuring celebrity Dance performances, live music, and DJ sets.

    Talking about their recent milestones in promoting international tourism, Country Club India has unveiled its latest initiative, “Chalo Sri Lanka,” aimed at encouraging Indian travellers to explore the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. Central to this campaign is the launch of the exclusive Bade Dilwale card, designed to provide Country Club members with unparalleled perks to discover the island nation’s rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and vibrant biodiversity.

    Sri Lanka has long been a favored destination for Indian tourists, thanks to improved connectivity between the two countries. With regular flights from major Indian cities and the introduction of ferry services, travelling to Sri Lanka has become more accessible and cost-effective. These developments have opened the door for more Indian travellers to immerse themselves in the island’s pristine beaches, lush greenery, and historical landmarks.

    The initiative aligns perfectly with the best time to visit Sri Lanka—December to April—when clear blue skies and verdant scenery create the ideal setting for sightseeing and outdoor activities. From Colombo’s bustling nightlife to the spiritual serenity of Kandy and the adventure-filled Kitulgala, the Bade Dilwale card promises members an enriching and unforgettable travel experience.

    Sharing his personal connection to the initiative, Mr. Rajeev Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director of Country Club India, recounted his recent travels to Sri Lanka: “Bade Dilwale is inspired by my own journey through Sri Lanka. From experiencing Colombo’s vibrant nightlife and Kandy’s iconic Temple of the Tooth Relic to the adrenaline rush of white-water rafting in Kitulgala, it was a trip to remember. I am confident our members will create their own incredible memories through this program. Bade Dilwale truly represents the spirit of Hyderabad’s hospitality and our commitment to bringing world-class experiences to our members.”

    Mr. Reddy’s trip was marked by notable interactions, including celebrating his birthday with Sri Lankan cricket legend Aravinda de Silva, meeting His Excellency Ranil Wickremesinghe, the former President of Sri Lanka, and engaging with Krishna Ella of Bharat Biotech, who hosted him during his stay. These moments underscored the strong cultural and personal ties between India and Sri Lanka.

    With “Chalo Sri Lanka,” Country Club India is setting a new benchmark in global tourism, offering its members not just exclusive travel benefits but also an opportunity to forge meaningful cultural connections. This initiative is a testament to the Club’s ambition to redefine the travel experience and establish itself as a leader in the international tourism space.

  • Revolutionize Your Trading with BlinkX’s Basket Orders

    Revolutionize Your Trading with BlinkX’s Basket Orders

    New Delhi [India], December 18: At BlinkX, every second counts for active traders. Understanding the need for speed and precision, BlinkX has introduced Basket Orders, a feature designed to streamline the trading process across Equity, Futures, Options, and Currency asset classes. This powerful tool allows traders to group multiple trades into one actionable bundle, enabling them to execute complex strategies with a single tap. 

    Efficient Execution Across Asset Classes

    For traders who juggle multiple trades —whether setting up positions in Equity, managing derivatives in Futures, making strategic moves in Options, or balancing a Currency portfolio—Basket Orders are a game-changer. Instead of placing each order individually, traders can now pre-select and organize trades across various asset classes into a single basket. With one tap, this entire bundle of trades is executed, significantly reducing the time and mental effort required to manage multiple orders, making it one of the best stock market app feature.

    Enhanced Control and Strategy Execution

    Basket Orders empower traders to execute complex strategies seamlessly, providing greater control over their positions and ensuring they’re always prepared to act on market changes. For instance, traders planning a market entry involving both stock and options positions can use Basket Orders to execute their strategy in one smooth action, avoiding missed trades or incorrect entries. This feature minimizes the risk of errors and enhances efficiency, especially when managing several trades at once.

    Let’s say you’re bullish on an Index and a stock within it, but want a hedge. You can create a basket by buying an Index Future and hedging with a PUT. Then, add a buy order for the individual stock. Once your basket is set with your preferred Limit prices, just hit ‘Execute’ to send the order to the exchange. That’s it and all your orders are placed with one simple click!

    BlinkX

    Built-In Risk Management Capabilities

    The Basket Orders feature also strengthens risk management for traders. By allowing them to group trades—whether setting up stop-losses or taking profits across multiple positions—traders can instantly execute a set of trades while ensuring their risk management strategies are precisely implemented. The flexibility to bundle Equity, Futures, Options, and Currency positions together into one order simplifies the execution of diversified trading strategies, making complex transactions less stressful.

    Gagan Singla, MD at BlinkX, commented, “With Basket Orders, we’re giving traders the ability to act quickly and confidently across multiple asset classes. This feature is designed to remove the hassle of managing numerous trades and lets traders focus on what really matters—their strategies. BlinkX is committed to supporting traders with the tools they need to stay ahead, and Basket Orders are just one example of how we’re making trading faster, smarter, and more efficient.”

  • “The Affairs of Baxiganj” by Subhobroto Mazumder

    “The Affairs of Baxiganj” by Subhobroto Mazumder

    New Delhi [India], December 18: Subhobroto Mazumder, a geologist-turned-author, has released his much-anticipated debut novel, The Affairs of Baxiganj, a suspense-filled mystery that takes readers deep into the heart of a quiet, seemingly peaceful town. Set in the late 1980s and early 90s, the novel introduces an intriguing mix of drama, crime, and psychological complexity, offering a compelling narrative that pulls readers into a vortex of mystery and secrets. Against the backdrop of a remote town near the banks of the Subarnarekha river, The Affairs of Baxiganj weaves a tale that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

    The story follows four young friends who are recruited by an oil exploration company, PMO, and sent to its newly established office in Baxiganj. Initially, their lives seem mundane, revolving around their work and the small-town atmosphere. But everything changes one evening when a tragic incident turns their world upside down. After a party, they are informed that their boss’s wife has been shot while on her way to a club. The twist comes when one of the four friends is identified as the prime suspect, thrusting all of them into the middle of a police investigation. As the investigation deepens, the four friends find themselves entangled in a web of suspicion, with their own relationships and personal histories coming into question. What starts as a straightforward case soon morphs into something far darker as the characters’ secrets, motives, and complicated personalities are exposed.

    At the heart of The Affairs of Baxiganj is a mystery that keeps readers on edge: Who shot the boss’s wife? Who was the real target? And most provocatively, who is telling the truth? The four friends, each with their own complex and often conflicting personalities, are forced to confront the realities of their lives, their friendships, and the people they thought they knew. As the investigation progresses, the line between right and wrong blurs, and everyone becomes a suspect in the eyes of both the police and each other. Their past actions, hidden motives, and the darker corners of their psyches begin to surface, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe. Every chapter brings new revelations, adding layers of complexity to the characters and the case, keeping the suspense alive throughout the book.

    What makes the novel truly captivating is not just the unfolding mystery, but also its deep exploration of human nature. The tight-knit group of friends becomes increasingly fragmented as truths are revealed, and the trust they once shared begins to unravel. As the investigation digs deeper into the shooting, it also exposes the hidden fears, desires, and secrets of the characters, forcing readers to question their own assumptions about loyalty, guilt, and the nature of truth itself. The novel goes beyond being a simple whodunit; it’s a psychological thriller that delves into the complexity of friendship, betrayal, and the burden of truth. Every character is layered, flawed, and unpredictable, making the journey of discovery as emotionally engaging as it is suspenseful.

    The setting of Baxiganj adds another layer of intrigue to the story. The small town, nestled on the banks of the Subarnarekha river and surrounded by forests and hills, offers the perfect contrast to the intense drama unfolding. Its isolation and quiet, almost idyllic atmosphere provide a stark backdrop to the tense, fast-paced narrative. The novel captures the essence of a time before the digital age, when information was scarce, and communication was more personal and often slower. This setting brings an air of nostalgia, but it also highlights the characters’ struggles as they deal with the mysterious events in a world that feels both unfamiliar and dangerously close.

    Subhobroto Mazumder, a seasoned geologist by profession, has brought a unique perspective to his debut novel. With a background in Applied Geology from IIT Roorkee and a PhD in Earth and Environmental Studies from NIT Durgapur, Mazumder’s analytical mind and attention to detail shine through in his writing. Although his career revolves around oil exploration, it is his passion for storytelling that has driven him to craft a narrative that blends his technical expertise with his creative instincts. This combination of analytical thinking and imaginative storytelling gives The Affairs of Baxiganj its distinct edge, where the clues are as much about human behavior as they are about the mystery itself. Beyond writing, Mazumder enjoys playing football, learning the harmonica, and indulging in aimless wandering, pursuits that reflect the complexity and diversity of his own interests.

    Originally from Durgapur, Mazumder now resides in Dehradun, and his connection to the world of exploration and natural landscapes is reflected in the vivid descriptions of the town and its surroundings. His love for the outdoors and the detailed world-building in The Affairs of Baxiganj add richness to the story, making the small town feel like an essential character in the narrative itself.

    As The Affairs of Baxiganj hits the shelves, readers can expect a journey that will keep them on the edge of their seats. The novel expertly blends mystery, suspense, and psychological drama, creating a narrative that is not only thrilling but also thought-provoking. The characters’ evolving relationships, the slowly unraveling investigation, and the dark secrets that emerge form a tightly woven story that will resonate long after the final page. For anyone who enjoys a good mystery, The Affairs of Baxiganj is a must-read, offering a fresh and exciting take on the genre.
